Really disappointed with Chile. Thought they would beat Netherlands to avoid meeting Brazil in the next round. But they never looked like scoring at all. Netherlands looked poor without RVP but Chile didn't make use of that. Chile already looked like happy to just progressing to the next round. I guess unfancied teams like Chile and Costa Rica can only perform well in the group stages as they don't have any ambition to win the WC.
Australia were disappointing as well. Thought they will make Spain work hard like Netherlands but they went down too easily. Without Cahil, Australia's attack looked toothless. As for Spain, you have to wonder why they were changed players earlier to save their WC campaign. I am sure players like Villa and Mata could have contributed more against Netherlands and Chile.

It was a cheeky back-heel goal as well. That was his 9th goal in the WC : 3 goals in 2006 and 5 goals in 2010. In fact, he was the joint top scorer in the 2010 WC. Don't understand why Villa didn't start ahead of Torres in previous matches. Villa had 13 league goals for Atletico Madrid compared to just 5 by Torres for Chelsea. They are not that far away in age as well, Torres being 30 and Villa 32. Torres has been shyte since joining Chelsea 4 years ago. Villa should have been Spain main striker in this WC. Was a bit sorry to see Villa in tears when he was substituted early in the second half. Not sure if he was injured but he was really emotional at that moment.

Les Ferdinand
Is one of my fave players of all time along with Mendieta. I did and do like Valencia. Villa and Silva were a class act.

Apparently (according to either BBC or ITV, forget which it was on), Del Bosque didn't realise it was his last game #-o

Surely, that can't be the case. I am sure Del Bosque wanted to give a chance to Mata who didn't play much in this WC. But Villa was very reluctant to leave and he was consoled by even the Australian players as he was walking out slowly. He was still crying unshamedly on the bench as a few Spanish officials was trying to console him as well.
Also, really surprised to learn that Villa will be joining an Australian club after the WC. Surely, he could still contribute much in big European leagues. With Soldado's future uncertain, not sure why Spurs didn't try to sign him on a short term basis.

Are you heading to any games? A few of us are heading to Melbourne for Aus v Kuwait (then on to Showgirls Bar 20 - standard).

Didn't realise he was only 32, sure NY will pay him a fortune, but putting himself out to grass a bit early?

He's going to the Emirates Marketing Project owned New York City, but having a loan spell at the Emirates Marketing Project owned Melbourne City/Heart before the MSL season starts.
Melbourne just signed Damien Duff as well.

Yep, planning on going to quite a bit. I'm hoping to be a volunteer, so waiting to see how that will affect my match-going.
