I think Silva has had a poor season for City, not sure he has been fit for most of it. The shot he pulled is entirely in keeping with his season.

Well, this is looking more and more like a 0-0.

Especially after the disappointment of the World Cup, I really expected Spain to turn it on this afternoon and put on a bit of a show.

The performance has been okay but they just don't look like scoring and they've nearly been caught out themselves a couple of times.

Yeah when he is back fit, he should be our number one, he is better than Hart, and has a better presence about him.

Another great chance missed.

Yeah, I agree there, I thought that by his high standards of recent seasons, last season was perhaps the worst since he signed for City.

What a vital tackle that was!

For one moment, I thought Iniesta was going to go round all of them.

Shoot ffs!!!

Fantastic, perhaps goal saving challenge there!

Thought that was the moment.

One of those days for Spain.

Their style doesn't work anymore. Teams have learned how to defend against it. They look no different than they were 2 years ago.

They take too long to do anything and it allows teams to organise.

Great tackle. Czechs hanging on again.

I'm beginning to wonder if he's starting to decline. He's looked decent enough today but hasn't done anything out of the ordinary.


They still seem to be in the tiki-taka rut that everyone else has moved on from. They're a team of playmakers and passers with little inic is forward drive.

Amazing last ditch tackle!

iniesta tried a ricky villa... but without the shooting bit.

Is De Gea having a nice kip, as he really is not having much to do at the moment.

Yeah perhaps now might be City's last chance to get a big fee for him, as he does still have a reputation, the longer he continues to have poor form, the less money thatched could be looking to get for him.

Finally!

Fantastic ball in from Iniesta

**** sake.

About time

Game over, three points to Spain.

yasssssss on yourself pique

Finaaaaaaaallly! Spain 1-0.

Mr Shakira breaks the deadlock.

Czechs fall asleep right at the end.

Shocking defending there, left Cech with no chance.

Boooo. Was still hoping for the Czechs to knick it.
