Spain Burns Ukraine

Ukraine wilted in the heat as Spain struck early and often for an easy 4-0 win. Shevchenko, warming up for his role at Chelsea, was non-existant. The entire Ukraine team put in a pathetic effort, and Spain just coasted.

It was only 2-0 when a horrible call gave a penalty to Spain, making it 3 and Ukraine was a man down. They seemed like they were about 4 or 5 men down from the start, though. They were never in it, and the only question was how many Spain wanted to score.

It’s hard to tell if Spain are really clicking or not. They sat Reyes, and Fabregas and Raul only made a run-out to stretch the legs late. Ukraine wouldn’t have beaten anyone today.
