Why does this group especially end up listed in first place and the rest in reverse alphabetical order?

That's a question for Adam.

EDIT: I just realised it's because he posted in alphabetical order but the threads drop from the last post in it. So the one with the most recent post automatically goes to the top.

Tunisia and Saudi arabia both dont exactly cover themselves in glory when they get to the world cup but Ukraine arent the best side either and will be nervous as debutants. If there are any worries about Shevchenko's fitness then this will only make this worse still. It could be a little opportunity for Tunisia or the Saudis. Spain with a notorious bad record couldnt have got a better draw - they surely cant mess this one up - can they?

Spain should win the group without much trouble. Ukraine do have Shevchenko but will need more than him to go far. Tunisia and Saudi Arabia will make little impression.

Spain and Ukraine to have far too much for the other two.

Spain to finally win a group at a cruise?

Yes, and QF at least. They could upset Brazil.

**Metrostars** · 14/06/2006, 2:22 PM

I think Tunisia have a chance to grab second place here.

**FarBeag** · 14/06/2006, 3:26 PM

Great win by Spain. Best team so far i think. If Shevchenko is worth £30 mil, how much is Torres worth?

Shevchenko would no doubt have scored after 10 minutes if the linesman had a clue what he was doing. That would have been 1-0 to Ukraine and nobody knows how the match would have panned out. Instead Spain scored from 2 set pieces before half time and immediately after the 2nd half the ref stupidly gives a peno and sends a Ukraine defender off.

So, Ukraine basically had a goal taken away from them before any goals were scored. Spain were given a free goal after half time. Spain were given a 1 man advantage for half the match and Ukraine had nothing to play for in all that time. I certainly wouldn't get carried away with this scoreline.

What was that peno about? Vashchuck seemed to lightly tug his shorts outside the box and he fell over about 5 seconds later. Dymth is right, there were a few dodgy offside calls against Ukraine at the start.

**superfrank** · 19/06/2006, 7:09 PM

Tunisia just scored!

**stojkovic** · 19/06/2006, 8:12 PM

Apparently King Juan Carlos rang the team hotel after their 4-0 thrashing of Ukraine and said "What the fcuk do you think you are doing, cabrones".
So they have reverted to type.
