Confederations Cup Recap

Here goes the summary of the FIRST Confederations Cup in the whole Spain history.

We started rocking our rivals, we were the first team who scored here.
Spain 5 - 0 New Zealand

Torres (3 goals)

Cesc (1)

Villa (1 - he became 2nd spanish topscorer)

Goals here

The first day, South Africa and Irak drew, so we were 1st.

The 2nd game was really hard, but Villa scored a wonderful header to put us in Semi-finals.
Spain 1 - 0 Irak

That day, South Africa won 3-0 to New Zealand

The last game against South Africa was a game for the non-usual players but they showed that they're a good team also. The final result was South Africa 0 - 2 Spain, really weak but the 2nd half were splendid. Villa and Llorente scored 2 good goals and really helpful. We were 1st with 0 goals received.
Irak drew 0-0 against New Zealand and South Africa passed to Semi-finals.


Next game of Group B was going to decide who would be our rivals in 1/2 finals.
Spain humiliated the Azzura 3-0 and they eliminated them. But a surprising USA killed Egpyt (who won Italy too) 3-0. and USA and Brazil passed. Spain was happy, we had the "easiest" opponent in Semi-finals.

Yesterday, 2 big misses from Capdevila and Sergio Ramos made Spain lost 2-0 against the lucky USA. Really disappointed cause we had 5000 chances to score in the 2nd half. They broke our winning streak of 35 games unbeated, sharing record with Brazil

Well, record existe to beat them! So SUPPORT SPAIN to create another bigger and better winning streak record. Today, Brazil plays against South Africa at 8.30 PM CET, so the final will be this Sunday at 8.30 PM CET: USA vs Brazil/South Africa

The today's game loser will face Spain in the battle for 3rd and 4th place in this competition, it will be at 3 PM CET this Sunday.

Preparation game: Azerbaijan - Spain

Hi, today Spain played a game against Azerbaijan at 6 PM CET.
After 30 weak minutes, Spain could have recived 2 specatacular goals that Casillas with a wondeful save and the other shoot was out.

Then, the "Maravilla" called Villa (7 on his back) scored a whole Hat-Trick in around 10 mins.
0-1 - Arbeloa comes to the goalkick line, blind pass to Torres, who doesn't shoot, and finally Villa appears with his wonderful right foot to score it.
0-2 - Just a couple of minutes later, Spain made a great teamplay and Villa, from a 30-metre shot scores it. Keeper was unable to save it.
0-3 - Cesc comes in the area and is hitted by 2 rivals. As result, it's penalty in 45'. Cesc couldn't go on so he was replaced. The penalty was almost saved but Villa scored it to his left side.

End of first half.
This hat trick made Villa as 3rd Spanish top scorer. Just 1 goal from the 2nd

The second half is likely the first one.
0-4 - Spain gets a ball from the Defending line and they pass to Riera, who in a 1 v 1 comes at the area corner and shot it crossed.
0-5 - As the 0-1, this time Sergio Ramos makes a blind pass to Güiza, that with a bad-shot kick could score by milimetres. Min 78
0-6 - Min 87. Xabi Alonso makes a pass trough the field and Torres scores in a 3 v 1 by a high shoot from the Area.

A great game.

NOTE: Spain was the first team who scored +2 goals (6) to Azerbaijan since their new coach was selected :D


Next game is for Copa Confederaciones. In South Africa on Sunday at 8.30 PM CET.
