Soccer 101: the technically superior team should not play long ball.
And the legend returns :-)
Raul!
Darn, I was kind of hoping for Tunisia to hold on there, they were doing a fine job of shutting Spain down.
I thought that goal had shades of Emilio "the Vulture" Butragueno to it.
And Torres,
2-1
Torres! That sound you here is the wheels falling off the Tunisian defense.
Well. That sort of changes the complexion of this match...
Errr, or possibly "hear."
Sheesh.
Raul's first goal since October 19.
My favorite player (Joaquin from Real Betis) was involved on both goals!
Well according to my yahoo gamecase anyway.
:D
Oh oops, I guess he was just involved in a Fabregas shot right before the Torres goal. My mistake.
Tunisia has to shut it down now. They can't afford to give up another one.
Allah's had a rough few days. Wish I'd gotten my lazy butt out of bed in time to see the Ukraine game. Oh well.

The Muslims lose Andalusia again; Saudis fall. Time for Osama to call for another jihad from his cave.
Slightly off topic - has anyone heard if Koller will be available against Italy?
His hitmen are already after that Ghana player who waved the Israeli flag. Vengeance is more important than winning, you know.
Penalty to Spain.
Buh bye Tunisia.
