The tv i saw has this new (to me) 3D technology, where they spin the capture to the offside line, marked on the screen. in super slo-mo, you see the moment of the heel kick, where Villa is a full stride forward. No way humans can do that in the normal play of the match.

In other words, yes offsides, but on a very well-earned goal. What's perhaps more important, is that Villa stayed on his feet enough to follow through on the rebound. awesome.

as if Spain shouldn't have had 3 more goals.  Though Portugal also had a few sorry finishes to their breakaways. Pretty entertaining, though not as pretty as the teams are noted. my amateur impression was of a truly hard fought match, with the ref allowing a lot of fouls, like a champions league match.

Spain follows with a training match against Paraguay. We must face the hand of Argentina.
