Group H Results: Spain win, Chile hang on

Spain-Chile began as wide open as promised, and in the early-going, it was Chile who looked looser and bolder. Fernando Torres continued his tentative play, and even Iker Casillas made some basic miscues in the opening 20 minutes.

My season was, uh, memorable; how was yours?

Let's see.... debts ballooned to £350m. Steven Gerrard played like someone peed in his Cheerios. Every morning. Fernando Torres missed another half-season with another injury, only this time he started to figure out that playing as a lone striker in the down-and-dirty EPL might be why it feels like crowbars have been taken to his legs every weekend. In other Rafa-is-a-genius news, Lucas Leiva played all season and had precisely 2 memorable moments. Coincidentally, the only link between defense and offense this season seemed to come through Glen Johnson, who did eventually bleed goals at critical times. Liverpool finished 7th. They went 0-0 with the likes of Wolves and Burnley and were arguably the worse side. They were certainly the worse side when they lost to Portsmouth. And Reading. Even when they weren't the worse side, beachballs would descend from the heavens to deflect in goals. Something like 14 players scored the highlight goal of their life against Liverpool, particularly in the first half of the season. Oh yeah, and David N'gog is still the #2 striker.
