Round of 16 Results: Day 4

David Villa is lethal in front of the net for Spain.

Paraguay 0-0 Japan (5-3 penalties)
Both teams play tentatively, even fearfully, in a scoreless snoozer. Heartbreak for the Blue Samarai's Yuichi Komano as his penalty miss gifts Paraguay the win.


Spain 1-0 Portugal
A high energy match in which Spain unsurprisingly dominates possession with their master passing. The Portuguese defense is finally unlocked with a Xavi to Iniesta sequence beautifully finished by David Villa.

I didn't think Japan/Paraguay was a snoozer...it was a fair and exciting finish to an even match, to me.
