Spain striker David Villa rued his penalty miss against Honduras yesterday, a miss that could have nabbed him a hat-trick, and blamed the pressure of the occasion for the slip up. The Barcelona striker fired a second-half penalty wide of the post having already secured a brace -- the first a superb display of fancy footwork and deadly finishing.<br /><br />"I missed that penalty due to pressure with the scoreline on 2-0," Villa said. "I have been shooting penalties all my life that the miss was may be because of the pressure."<br /><br />"Our loss to Switzerland is water under the bridge," Villa added. "We talked about it and bounced back today. We always play under pressure, this is a World Cup and every game is tough."
