THE ARTICLE
From http://www.BreakingNewsEnglish.com/world_cup_news_2010/spain_honduras.html
Spain’s 2-0 win against Honduras puts them back in
with a chance of moving to the knockout round. They
wasted a lot of good scoring opportunities and could
have won by a bigger margin. Barcelona-bound David
Villa scored the first of his two goals in the 17th
minute. He blasted a shot into the top corner to settle
Spanish nerves. It was all Spain after that as wave
after wave of attack hit the Honduran defense. Sergio
Ramos missed a sitter from inside the six-yard box and
another Villa strike hit the bar. It’s amazing how it only
finished 1-0 at half-time. The same story continued
after the break with Spain’s superstars guilty of
missing chances that were begging to be scored. It
was Villa who struck again when his shot was deflected
in on 51 minutes. He had the chance of a hat-trick but
missed a penalty.
