Yeh with no Villa ,Torres will be expected to step up..The Torres of 08/09 was a frightening player but since then not sure what happened..Noticed some improvements in recent months-working harder,goals returning and assists...

Bad start to the tournament for us..Couldnt really lose the opening game for any chance we have of getting through...

Ha ha,thanks:))...We're just glad to be back in Major Tournaments again,10 years out of them..

Which is a shame because everyone knows that you guys got shafted out of qualifying for South Africa.

Well thats in the past is my thinking:))..Grrrrrrrr!!!....Good opening round of games,much better quality than in recent tournaments..

So far, Germany, Portugal, and Spain look really strong.

Portugal have been good,Ronaldo doing his best to 'carry the nation'...Spain I think will take care of them in the semi finals and set up a final v Germany...Impressed with Germany,great patience...
