I love this competition, lots of throw caution to the wind style attacking football. Be interesting to see how South Africa copes with/takes to an international football competition.

Brazil have named a pretty strong squad aswell, hopefully both Spain and Italy will follow suit.

[WYNESS101]

Never heard off it before but theres a few games there i would like to see

[DornochJAGGIE]

Yes. Some decent football on for a change.

In the first half it was like watching Spain playing 10 wheely bins.

Nice display by Spain, but "game"?

Well i thought it was pretty good . They are one of the best attacking teams in football.

Forgot all about Chris Killen. Wonder if he'll get more games for celtic now since his old gaffer is back

[alimci]

Forgot all about Chris Killen.

Me too. Quite a surprise to realise I knew one of the team.

[WYNESS101]

There keeper looked pretty good apart from the 5 goals which i would say the defence should have done alot better on getting rid of the ball alot more. They have the tallest team in the world and yet they couldnt head the ball away from there own net

Did you see the South African miss earlier where the ball was heading in as an absolute certainty and then it was deflected off by a SA player standing on the line? Class

Nuh, Just caught the last 5 mins off that game. When Spain scored the 5th goal. What a mistake by the defender eh. Now i wonder what people would think if they saw it and then looked at Munros against Motherwell again.

Which one was worst? Munro or New Zealand player?

[Renegade]

Which one was worst? Munro or New Zealand player?

There's only one way to find out! FIGHT!!!

Spain 5-0 New Zealand FT

Cracking game

Whenever I see anything about New Zealand and football, I always think back to Scotland putting 5 past them in the 1982 World Cup, and then taking the lead against Brazil, but still failing to get out of the group on goal difference. :D

Brilliant display by Egypt. Some fantastic saves by the Egypt keeper as well.
