Spain deserved the win and played some great football however it could have been different had Pique been sent off early on for the foul on Heskey. Poor defending for the two goals too, Jagielka for the first although tbf it was his only mistake and Villa punished him for it and the second one was shocking defending from Terry.
Downing was awful and I really don't know how he gets picked, we looked better with Beckham on the right and SWP on the left.
Add Gerrard, Rio, Cole and Rooney to that side and I think it would have been a much closer game.
