EURO 2012

such a good finish. Take note Robben

first time pirlo has ventured frwd and BANG!

Robin xp

beautiful

False nine ftw.

lol

FANTASTIC

"pure class"

great game

luvly.

Nice

giovinco on!

I'm glad Spain have something about them, I want them dethroned properly, not going out with a whimper

Zonal Marking suggested that silva maybe doesn't fit it the team and navas gives them more purpose,

Giovinco on *rubs hands*

ah great set up

oh nando

Buffon did so weirdly well there

maybe,maybe the ball thru could have done with more weight. but really..
not sure where that falls on the Klata Scale.

ah great ball giovinco

keepers making good saves in non-keepery ways is a small private football pleasure of mine

His first touch looked so heavy, but only because I thought Buffon was too far out to start with. Everything looked wrong about that move basically. xp

Yes, yes, yes - but where is it on the scale?

That one where Gregory Coupet heads onto his own crossbar is one of my favourite things xp

Maybe the weirdest thing about Torres is either around 1 or 2, or 8 or 9, on the Klata Scale, and almost never in between:

0 takes it early, rolls pitifully wide
1 poor touch, goalie gathers
2 dallies, defender gets back to make tackle
3 shoots low, like an idiot, into the goalkeeper's legs
4 blazes wide
5 good save by keeper, raises eyes heavenwards
6 as for 3, but somehow goes through goalie's legs
7 places beyond keeper's dive
8 little dink
9 takes it round the keeper, strokes home
10 round the keeper, blasts home from a yard, roars through the net
11 round the keeper, screws wide from unnecessarily tight angle, massive grin

a 1 maybe

I'll just consult my wallchart ... was a 1, followed by a 2. Guess those really are the wrong way round.

almost the rare 11 from Nando

he'll run the full gamut before the end of this game

8?

why does de rossi have one long sleeve?

since they've had a CF Spain have created some clear cut chances. Unfortunately the CF is Torres.

Ah, would've been perfect

That would have been some goal

i could do with this going to extra time

kinda unnerved nobody's calling this dull tbh

clocks disappeared

That was great, I'd've loved another half-hour too.

on the replay torres could have slipped that into navas on his last chance

that was a fun game.

blimey that croatia team looks attacking, modric, perisic, mandzukic and jelavic

only playing 4 players a bit arrogant tho

on the replay torres could have slipped that into navas on his last chance

Could've? Should've!

corluka and schildenfeld must be slowest cb pairing in the tournament

just as well they're up against keane/doyle really

Shame Kranjcar isn't playing. Did he have a fall-out with Bilic too, like Pranjic?

don't tihnk so, reckon he'll be the first sub

Come on Doyler

Perisic will score tonight I reckon

Hopefully

Wow, sounds like there are a 100,000 Irish fans in the stadium!
