(C)Captain †Man <strong>of</strong> the Match<br />
I thought we gave everything we had to give. We had<br />
our chances but unfortunately Spain went through and<br />
not Paraguay. That's football. Chances were created<br />
and one side took one <strong>of</strong> the few that came along. I’d<br />
like to thank the players for their commitment. They<br />
gave their all.<br />
Gerardo Martino<br />
Spain weren’t better than us, anything but, and we<br />
had our chances during the course <strong>of</strong> the game.<br />

We didn’t play well and we never looked comfortable,<br />
but that was partly down to Paraguay. Even so, I think<br />
we deserved to go through and the best thing about<br />
the game was the result.<br />
Vicente Del Bosque<br />
We knew it wasn’t going to be easy. It wasn’t exactly<br />
our greatest game ever, and they ran hard. You have<br />
to congratulate Paraguay for what they’ve done.<br />
Iker Casillas
