And there should have been a third for Spain
right away.
Can't blame the ref too much, though.
And it evens up with the offside goal in the first half.

Paraguay well organization. Gerardo Martino works well...

What a set of four quarterfinal games.

Also predictably, Spain are having trouble breaking down a defensive
team. I'm surprised Silva or Navas isn't in. IMO they need to stretch
the field. Fabregas AND Iniesta is redundant.

Spain need width, but Navas' crossing was atrocious against Honduras
and I don't suppose they've let him forget it. So naturally expect
Pedro to come on.

True, foul on Fabregas but prob the ref didn't see the action, too much
confusion.

On sky I've seen on slow motion that the Para PK blocked by casillas
must be redone because the spanish defenders enter in the box before the
kick...

Balance:

1 PK for Para fail but must be redone for box invasion by defender
1 PK for Spain done but repeated for box invasion by attacker
1 PK for Spain fail
1 PK for Spain not done

3 minutes of fire...
