Spanish inquisition fails to scale the Swiss Alps

WHAT THE hell happened!!!!! It had to be Spain all the way, the stage was set for them to outshine all for the first time ever in the greatest stage of them all. With a spectacular 10 – 0 qualifying record and a magnificent attacking unit, this should have been a goal fest for La Roja Furia.

There was the prolific David Villa, menacing Xavi, the probing Andreas Ineista and the ever dangerous Xavi Alonso and adding to it the fervor were David Silva, Jesus Navas and how could one forget the talisman Fernando “El Nino” Torres. Even the Great Wall of China would have crumbled under the attack but a bunch of skiers from the Alps is what it took to halt the Spanish inquisition.

With due respect to the Swiss players who played their heart out and more importantly stuck to their plan; the Spaniards only have themselves to blame for the loss. But again it will not be fair to say that Switzerland were lucky, as they played really well, the defense which was under constant Spanish bombardment was undeterred and when they got a chance to surge ahead, a momentary lapse in the Spanish defense was well punished by Gelson Fernandes.
