here’s the score @ half time (HT):-

group d

(sweden) : (spain)

(34′) 1 : 1 (15′)

it was a boring first half. and totally a misery to watch other than the two goals…

there was some nice play by spain and a goal was rewarded for their efforts in the 15′. the swedish scored the equalizer which rekindled their spirits and increased their team defense play.

and then the whole game got REALLY boring with spain playing the passing game from defense and offense. they had ball possession of over 60%. yet, they did nothing magically.

and at full time (FT):-

it continued to be boring with more passing around by spain when second half commenced. spain had many dangerous shots which were all cleared by the swedish defense and saved by the solid, brilliant swedish goalkeeper. that made goal scoring again almost impossible for the spanish strikers.

the swedish magic last till 90′ and into 1min odd into the extra stoppage time. then, the magic vanished as a a long pass from spain, complacence defending in the 2 min odd… and it’s GOAL for spain and despair for sweden. stoppage time for this match was 3 minutes.

at least it seems that the 62% ball possession for spain did some goal in the end afterall…

spain is into the quater-finals. with 1 more game to bag, they can afford play with the reserves. sweden needs to win or draw in their next game.

but it all depends on the next match where former euro champions in 2004 (greece) battle it all out with the russia (former soviet union). will the former champions draw and lose, lose and lose the game, hence becoming the FIRST former champions to exit with 2 straight losses in a row? how amusing!

if greece wins, and sweden loses… the tables could change.

still, his highness is putting his cards on sweden and spain into the quarter-finals. after all, he supports sweden. go swedish vikings!
