Spain inches closer as Portugal packs.


Spain 1-0 Portugal
Spain inch closer to placing their hands on the most prestigeous trophy in the world of football, the FIFA world cup trophy. The lone goal of the match came from 2010's usual Spain suspect-David Villa- who dropped it in after his first attempt was blocked by Portuguese goalkeeper. This happened at the 63' minute, giving the Spaniards the lead of 1-0. Fernando Torres, has improvement and seemed to have been getting his cards right but the Portuguese defence never let him pull the trigger, we expect more from him in the next match. On the other side, Portugal never used Cristiano Ronaldo fully, leaving him to be a ball-chaser and had limited access to the Jabulani. Portuguese looked vulnerable from the time go, but managed to hold on. The match official was fair, and allowed the men to play, but had it to his neck point at the 89' minute, when he flashed a red card on Ricardo Costa. This therefore inject Spain into the quarters, where they will meet a rather weaker side-Paraguay-giving an upper hand of progressing to the semis. But the question is, will they??? That's for Jabulani to decide and Zakumi to consent.
