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 wide1 poor touch, goalie gathers2 dallies, defender gets back to make tackle3 shoots low, like an idiot, into the goalkeeper's legs4 blazes wide5 good save by keeper, raises eyes heavenwards6 as for 3, but somehow goes through goalie's legs7 places beyond keeper's dive8 little dink9 takes it round the keeper, strokes home10 round the keeper, blasts home from a yard, roars through the net11 round the keeper, screws wide from unnecessarily tight angle, massive grin

a 1 maybe
― pandemic, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:40 (eleven years ago) link
I'll just consult my wallchart ... was a 1, followed by a 2. Guess those really are the wrong way round.
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:40 (eleven years ago) link
almost the rare 11 from Nando
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:41 (eleven years ago) link
he'll run the full gamut before the end of this game
― pandemic, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:41 (eleven years ago) link
8?
― boxall, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:41 (eleven years ago) link
why does de rossi have one long sleeve?
― Merdeyeux, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:42 (eleven years ago) link
since they've had a CF Spain have created some clear cut chances. Unfortunately the CF is Torres.

Ah, would've been perfect
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:44 (eleven years ago) link
That would have been some goal
― Pacific Trash Vortex (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:45 (eleven years ago) link
i could do with this going to extra time
― pandemic, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:45 (eleven years ago) link
kinda unnerved nobody's calling this dull tbh
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:47 (eleven years ago) link
clocks disappeared
― pandemic, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:48 (eleven years ago) link
That was great, I'd've loved another half-hour too.
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:50 (eleven years ago) link
on the replay torres could have slipped that into navas on his last chance
― pandemic, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:57 (eleven years ago) link
that was a fun game.
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 10 June 2012 18:01 (eleven years ago) link

corluka and schildenfeld must be slowest cb pairing in the tournament
― mizzell, Sunday, 10 June 2012 18:17 (eleven years ago) link
just as well they're up against keane/doyle really
― pandemic, Sunday, 10 June 2012 18:20 (eleven years ago) link
Shame Kranjcar isn't playing. Did he have a fall-out with Bilic too, like Pranjic?
― HO WBEAUTIFUL IS THE GENTLYFALLINGBLOOD? (Le Bateau Ivre), Sunday, 10 June 2012 18:35 (eleven years ago) link

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

I think Jim Beglin just said "the Irish had the better of it up to kickoff".

Was just coming here to post the same, extremely annoying
Great goal though!

The phantom whistler just ruined that goal for me - I thought the ref had already blown for something and so it wouldn't count
― Pacific Trash Vortex (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Sunday, 10 June 2012 19:06 (eleven years ago) link
me too
― mookieproof, Sunday, 10 June 2012 19:07 (eleven years ago) link
old habit for me - my mother always hushes us after goals in case they're offside.
so happy
