Spain's second half performance was excellent last night, making up for their disappointing start. Fabregas was impressive, but what really stretched Tunisia was the introduction of Joaquin on the right, offering the Spaniards a wide option that they didn't really have in the first half. Raul was nothing special, but popped up when it mattered to score the equaliser, which is all you can really ask of a substitute striker. Besides, with Torres up front, he can afford to underperform.

Didn't see the first half of the Germany match, but the fact that Ecuador rested their strongest players means that this is hardly evidence of a dominant German side. The Poland score isn't that surprising either, and the final Group A table is a pretty accurate summar of the teams' respective quality, if you ask me.

Now, with regards to tonight's England game, I think that winning might not necessarily be the best option. While a first place finish might give us an easier match in the second round, we'd be pretty much guarenteed to play Argentina in the Quarter Final, and I don't need to tell you what's wrong with that. Much better to face a sub-standard German side and save the Argies for the final, if you ask me.
