I don't know who got Man of the match, but David Silva deserves it, 1 goal a long with 2 assists.
I really liked seeing this Spain side, all tho disappoint that we couldn't capitalize more. I mean credit to Ireland GK, Given for stopping 18 shots. Torres played well, I noticed one thing with Torres, despite his speed and strength he can't control it, I mean he goes a head, but ends up putting to much power on the ball, or could be do it his speed, and ends up losing it by the GK, and/or getting rough shot because the GK comes out before he gets to the ball.
Our test will be next game VS Croatia side, we may have Italy fate in our hands, if Italy ends up beating Ireland (which seems possible, looking at their past two fixtures), and we beat Croatia, than Italy will advance with us, otherwise a draw we can still go thru with, but a loss is rough and can screw us as Italy may still be able to get thru with goal advantage depending how much they score VS Ireland.
Our biggest problem is still the defence. Were lucky Ireland don't have the best offence, but facing a team like Germany with this defence may destroy us.
