Spain demolishes weak Poland team 6-0
After failing to impress with two wins away at Saudi Arabia and South Korea, Spain were fired up again after coming back to their own home turf. The European champions showed how fired up they were with two early goals by David Villa and David Silva. After that a goal drought until the second half. Xabi Alonso, Cesc Fabregas, Fernando Torres, and Pedro all added to the ever-increasing scoreline. Poland's strikers were quiet through the game and did not get many oppurtunities to change the score. But, Vicente Del Bosque still has one thing to worry about a week and one day before their World Cup campaign kicks off. Andres Iniesta asked to be subsistuted after experiencing pain in one of his thigh muscles. Iniesta has had a string of thigh problems over the last year, but up until now was in brilliant form, setting up David Villa and David Silva to net their goals. Iniesta was replaced by Pedro in the 39th minute, but dis not exit the field for immediate treatment. Instead, he took his place among his teammates on the bench. Fernando Hierro, a director of the Spanish Football Association, said that it was just a scare. Nothing worse than a strain was what it was. Other than Iniesta's injury, (which will surely heal before Spain's World Cup opener), Del Bosque was immensely satisfied with his team's overall performance. If Spain keep their goalscoring record this way, they might end up eventual World Cup champions. There first match in Group H is against Switzerland in Durban on June the 16.
