I'm with you sallyanne -
and guess what I'm doing ata work - one eye on the match and one .... ah well .....

I'm watching it too! 3-0 so far. Wish I was in Madrid's Plaza de Colón where a HUGE group of fans are watching a big screen TV.

UPDATE! NOW IT'S 4-0!!!!! GOLLLLLLLLLL!!!!

Do points count overall or is this simply a lose=elimination?

Saludos, MadridMan

You get excited over 4-0?

I had to explain to my co-worker who is into the World Cup what the word blow-out means.

I told him:

A blow-out is like a bull fight. Where the bull and matador enter the ring, there is excitement in the air and then the bull goes to sleep.

Olay!

Bill

and now 4-0!!!!

SPAIN BEATS UKRAINE 4-0! And... err... now what?

Saludos, MadridMan

puna, I'm in work too, exxcellent, 4-0, now to the next game MadridMan, June 19th, and I think that goal fdifference does count if it needs to for group position.

MM: The world cup follows the league system, through which a team gets 3 points if they win, 1 point for a tie, and none if they lose.

Correct me if am wrong please, but I think that the 2 teams in each group with the most points will play the next eliminatory round. In this new round, if you win you move ahead (so no points), right?

For those of you that missed the game you can watch the hightlights of the game here . Just click on video.

Yes, Jabch is right. Now they have to face the two other teams in their group, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia. They also played today and it was a draw, meaning that Spain is at the top of the group with three, well-earned points. It's not wise to be overconfident, but I see Spain going through to at least the quarterfinals. I want to say they can take it all the way, but I suffered when they were robbed 4 years ago in Korea.
