Zico critical of Man City midfielder David Silva

Brazil legend Zico has criticised Manchester City midfielder David Silva after Spain's thrashing by Holland.

Spanish football is still reeling after their World Cup thrashing by Holland.

Zico said: "I was not counting on the Netherlands to begin with. I thought that Chile and Spain were the favourites and Chile would face Brazil in the next round, but the Netherlands had a good game and proved that they have good players.

"Spain dominated the first half and had a great chance to settle the game, but maybe Silva tried to do too much by himself; he tried to score too beautiful a goal."
