I thought Spain pretty much sleepwalked their way through, and I totally agree about Spain's monotony. For a team supposedly synonymous with olay football, they're becoming one of the most boring to watch.
But the big shock for me was France, who looked about as disinterested as I think I've seen a team in the knockout stage. Ribery seemed about the only one remotely bothered. I knew they had some issues but most of them just seemed like they'd rather not've been playing at all. Blanc looked like a lost man towards the end. I'd love to know what the French people/media made of it all. That looked like a bigger collapse than anything I saw from Holland. At least the Dutch seemed frustrated, France just looked like they'd given up on themselves altogether as a team.
