Old Trafford - 1st August 2012, Group D.

Goalless draw. Spain 0 Morocco 0.

Plenty of effort but no goals to show for it.
Decent Mexican waves though.
Strange targeted waterfall fountain from the rain soaked, over-flowing roof.
Luckily it was at half time and spectators had got up from their seats, so most of them didn't get soaked.

Neither Spain or Morocco progress through to the Quarter Finals.

Japan and Honduras go through from Group D.

Spain can’t qualify for the Quarters, Morocco still have a chance if Japan beat Honduras in the other Group D match.

Maybe Spain will have the World Cup stars out in force inc Juan Mata & Jordi Alba.

Some family coming today, don’t expect I’ll get to see them though. Maybe I’ll lie low so they can’t see my uniform.
