Spain and Russia and overwhelms us dream of the future

After the long wait, Spain has made a good start its journey in this Euro 2008. Russia rolled, 4-1.

Many questions raised our selection after the failed tests against Peru and USA. Both matches were won but with more doubts than certainties. However, once again, Spain began an international tournament with a win, and how.

Spain pulled his four goals at a much lower Russia, which is that the Russians were sometimes loud sometimes ended wasted. Villa, which I must admit that I generated questions after a season (but the last league matches) less than last, gave a recital every scorer, scoring three of the four goals in Spain. Fernando Torres is still not found its niche in the game of choice, so different from the lands held in English, although his was the merit of the first goal of Villa, since he left a ball on a plate for batiera the Russian goal.

Spanish joy little hard because after a while the Russians threw the stick and we got the fear in the body, in a monumental failure of the Spanish defense containing, God knows why, Marchena. Minutes later, Iniesta invented accurate pass to Villa who scored his second goal. End of first half.

Back from the resumption the game engaged in a give and take something crazy, with the Russians increasingly poured into the attack and Villa, Silva and players who were coming into the field of play as architects of counterattacks, not forgetting Sergio Ramos assaults that caused by the band as a real howitzer. Villa placed third in the back of the net. Replaced Fernando Torres Cesc, Cazorla debuted with the selection and Xabi Alonso also came off the bench. The Russians inched closer to the exit of a corner and then had the second goal in tray, but inexplicably the striker wasted the opportunity, which of course did not own on a fielder Cesc training, from a counterattack (Spain amazed me playing to the contrary). Cesc took advantage of a decline in the Russian goal to push the ball with your head. Although he was in an offside the referee gave the goal by law.

4-1 and now will continue to dream. Sweden won his match against Greece, the current champion, 2-0, with two goals in five minutes midway through the second time. Group D looks like this:

1. Spain (3 points)
2 º. Sweden (3 points)
3 º. Greece (0 points)
4 º. Russia (0 points)
