Full Time Spain -v- Morocco

Thats it, 0-0 result in what looked like soggy underfoot conditions but nice afternoon sunlight in Manchester.

Busy afternoons work for the Aussie crew, 23 fouls and 9 offside decisions, and just the three yellows from the first half and on balance a fair result for both teams.  Spain did have one or two clear cut chances that they couldn't convert, but perhaps is indicitative of their performance at London.

Nice moment caught by the cameras as they walked off, with Pim Verbeek saying something to the guys and smiles all round - Pim was formerly Socceroos coach and no doubt knows Ben and the guys well. 

Perhaps he was wishing them well on appointments into the next round.  And as do I as I sign off for tonight and hope to bring you more coverage in Knockout round.

Goodnight
