Nice to see both Ronaldinho and Robbie Carlos fall over the ball
Best team in the world eh? :| England could win this thing if the opposition keeps playing like this.

Well i'd say the same for Brazil as i've said for us,sure they aren't playing well,but they have qualified for the next round,to some extent thats all you can ask for at this stage.

I think we've played better than Brazil so far, as we did dominate our games whilst they didn't dominate theirs but both teams can play a lot better.

We may have played better than brazil, but a lot of teams have played better than us for example argentina and spain.

Argentina look very impressive,but Spain have only played the one game so far,it'll be interesting to see if they can play well again,don't forget how good the Czech's were against the US,then they were outplayed by Ghana in their second game.

I think the answer with Spain is no, outplayed for much of the game by Tunisia. They won in the end but were far from impressive.

In the first half Tunisia deserved their lead I thought, they defended very well, the point is anyway being 1-0 down against Tunisia for over 3/4 of a game isn't that great really is it.

Spain were quality in the second half. They were creative, and looked like scoring..

Spain were helped by Tunisia's decision to sit back deep in the second half. In the first half Tunisia looked like they could score another with Spain looking very weak down the left side (poor left back got no support all game) and left sided central defence. Once Tunisia decided they were not crossing the half way line the game changed quite a bit. With no pressure on them they could afford to push both full backs onto the wing without worrying about break aways. I thought Spain looked very vunerable though to a good counter attacking side (one of the things we can do well at times)

As you said the full backs for spain have no cover and so was easy for Tunisia to get down the wings, put a bit of pressure on spain and they will crumble.

The Spanish right back was desperately poor though. I also didn't undersatnd the praise of Jooquin when he came on. He cut inside too much, and i don't recall him making one decent cross.
