So it was the second night in a row when i dragged meself up from much needed slumber and parked meself in front of the passed-its-prime TV in our apartment to watch 22 grown men chase after a ball over 5 thousand miles away!!!
It was worth the effort! The word used todesribe my fav team's perfomance was "Masterclass"!!!! Indeed it was.
The stats speak for themselves - Spain has a whooping 78% of the possession! They had 27 shots at the Irish goal with 22 of them being on target (compared to the Irish's 5 shots at the Spannish goal). They had 8 corners while the conceding only 2.
In total, Spain had 894 passes!!!!!

I wanted to mark some papers while watching but i failed - as
i couldn't take my eyes off the TV. It was such a joy to see them
passing the ball so effortlessly!!!! The Irish were totally
outclassed!!!! The Spannish passing was simply a delight to watch!

| Xavi himself made 124 passes!!! The irish team made 190 passes in total!!! |
The icing on the cake was watching my fav striker rediscovering his form and scoring 2 brilliant goals. The first was this:-
The second was even better, picking a tight angle and finishing with confidence!!!! Great game!
