There were games that really shocked me with their results, for example:

Lithuania 2 - 3 Netherlands

Honestly, I didn't expect the Netherlands to concede 2 goals in that game, because they weren't playing against a strong opponent; on the contrary, they were a very weak opponent. That was another game.
Netherlands didn't impress me in this week's games. First, they were held to a draw by Poland whereas they were the better side. It's just like they don't know how to take opportunities into their hands until it's snatched off from them. At least they could win this game, but if they had relaxed too long I feel that they would have been held to a draw.

Turkey 0 - 6 Spain

How the hell did Turkey concede 6 goals? We are talking about a very important game, a World Cup qualifier, but they conceded 6 goals, they couldn't score at least 1 goal. How was that possible? Turkey was supposed to be the second strongest team in that group, but after that defeat, I see them with little chance of qualifying.
I'm really surprised about the scoreline but then again, this is Spain we are talking about. Time and time again they keep proving why they deserve all the trophies they have gotten and I need to commend Luis de la Fuentes on his ability to maintain such a fine record. He's the only coach with the least record of losses since he took over the job as coach. Turkey played fine football but they were often leaving too much gaps open on their defense and playing against a team that is well coordinated like Spain, that's a very poor thing to do.
