I thought it was a pretty even matchup. During the first half I was thinking this will go down to penalty kicks in the end, but the silly mistake by Puyol by tackling Henry and poor defending cost Spain the match. Ribery should never have been allowed to equalise...but it was an excellent goal nonetheless.
Talking about tough nuts to crack, France meets Brazil in the quarters. The first QF match is Germany vs Argentina though.
