Soccer Updates

Soccer Updates expected Spain to win this and were a bit let down by the Spanish performance in the first half. Torres yet again started but he still looks unfit and not as sharp as the Torres we have watched at Liverpool. In a slow first half the only highlight was a great pass that split the Spain defence for Paraguay to score only for it to be ruled offside.

Spain have never won a Quarter-Final in a World Cup and they need to up their act in the second half to win this one or like Brazil and Argentina they will be on a flight home. But in the 55th minute Fabregas comes on for the unfit Torres and two minutes later its a penalty to Paraguay. Its saved by the Spain goalkeeper and it remains 0-0, are Spain destined to win.

Omg straight from that penalty miss David Villa breaks away and is brought down in the box and its now a penalty to Spain. Alonso steps up in the 60th minute and scores but the referee blows for him to take it again and he does and this time he misses as the keeper saves it, this match is just unreal, soccer updates cant believe it.

75 minutes gone and for me this match is going to extra time, except for the penalties its been a dull affair. But in the 82nd minute a great pass to Pedro who shoots but hits the post, it rebounds to David Villa who scores with a shot in off the post. The whistle goes and Spain win 1-0 and play Germany in the semi-final, soccer updates sees Spain break their Quarter-Finals jink.
