And I thought caning was confined to Singapore jails. Spain gave notice that they will need to be reckoned with throughout the match. David Villa in particular. While Torres worked his castanets off, it was Villa who displayed the clinical. Crowned by a Fabregas header, the four goal display started with exquisite technical play in midfield. While occasionally looking a bit disorganised at the back, those glimpses were indeed rare. Granted, the opposition was a Russian side not given to tremendous illustrations of fluid, extravagant football, but they are purposeful and can put together the odd run and set piece (just ask England). Further tests remain for this Spain, but so far, so good. I don't see anyone in the group who will be able to contain a Spain seemingly ready to play 4-4-2 with Villa and Torres.
