The Spanish team was in Group D
They were place with
Russia
Sweden
Greece- Euro 04 defending champion
1st up for Spain was Russia
Spain beat them 4-1
hat-trick from David Villa
4th goal was from Cesc Fabregas
quite an easy victory for the Spaniard
hero of the day was of course....
DAVID VILLA
2nd team to face was Sweden
Spain beat them 2-1
Goals from
Fernando Torres and David Villa
David Villa scored at 90+ minute for the victory
Hero of the day was once again
David Villa
I know..i know
i should be putting David Villa's picture
but I don't have his solo picture
mostly is Iker's picture
besides Iker is my hero
so my blog should feature him
RIGHT???
Alright...moving on
Since Spain had won both of their matches
they had confirm top spot in group D
so the coach rested 10 players when they faced Greece
Iker was one of them
the only player who remained in the squad was Iniesta
Spain beat Greece 2-1
Spain went 1-0 down first
and they fought back
goals from Ruben De La Red and Daniel Guiza
Guiza scored quite at the ending of the match
around the 80+ minute
Hero of the day was Xabi Alonso
he took over the captain's armband from Iker
and he did really really well in the midfield
So Spain top the group with 9 point
Russia had 6 point
Sweden had 3
Greece had 0
Spain and Russia progressed to the quarter finals
Next up for The Reds was Italy
the world champions
played 90 minutes and it was 0-0
Iker Casillas made a amazing save with his feet from Camoneresi
it was at the 60+ minute
it was an important block coz Italy would have won with that goal
but................
my Saint Iker was there to save the day
moving on...moving on
they played extra time - 30 minutes
Spain keep attacking
Italy keep defending
so still 0-0
and...............
Iker made an acrobatic save to deny Di Natale header
so it was down to penalties.....
it was the battle of the best keepers in the world
Iker Casillas of Spain Vs Gianluigi Buffon of Italy
it was also the battle of the captains
many has argued with "who is the best keeper in the world?"
and this penalty shoot-out will determine who is the best
1st up for Spain was David Villa and he scored
1st up for Italy was Fabio Grosso and he scored and Iker dived the right way...
but too bad...
score: 1-1
Spain's 2nd- Santi Cazorla-scored
Italy's 2nd- De Rossi- saved by IKER CASILLAS...

Spain's 3rd- Marcos Senna-scored
Italy's 3rd- Mauro Camoranesi-scored- Iker dived the right way...again
score : 3-2 to Spain
Spain's 4th- Daniel Guiza- saved by Buffon
Italy's 4th- Antonio Di Natale- saved by Mr.Captain, Iker Casillas
wooooooooo-huuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Spain must score next to advance
up step Fabregas
and he
SCORED.............................

Hero of the day was of course...
IKER CASILLAS FERNANDEZ

Spain had been losing in the pass 3 quarter-finals
on a shoot out
on 22nd June
all 3 on the same dat
freaky man
but the captain saved the day and broke the voodos
n of course credits to the players as well
this is the 2nd time Iker shined during a shoot out
the last was at the World Cup 2002
shoot-out against Rep of Ireland
Iker saved 2 during the shoot out
and 1 during normal time
next up...
semi finals against Russia
and yes
it is a rematch between this 2
and Russia wants revenge
Iker giving a Unite Against Racism speech
Spain beat Russia 3-0
Spain simply out-ran and out-played the Russians
goals from
Xavi Hernandez, Daniel Guiza and David Silva
had thunder storm and lightning halfway through the match
damn scared for the players coz got lightning
when they showed the lightning
the 1st thing that came to me was
*OH NO.....IKER*
but luckily nothing happened
FINALS...here we come
finally Spain reached the finals after 20 yrs- i think
their last title was in 1964
n they are up against Germany
Spain beat them 1-0
Fernando Torres was the hero
he scored the decisive goal
Spain simply out-ran their opponents once again
the poor Germans look exhausted
once the whistle is blown.......
