ha yes I enjoyed the ambiguous wording there

Piqué made his debut for Manchester United in October 2004, as a late replacement for John O'Shea in a 3–0 League Cup victory at Crewe Alexandra as a centre back.

I like this, you could sense the mantle passing that night

xp well apart from Torres' second chance early on Spain have tried to Arsenal it into the net somewhat

how the hell is this only 1-0?

because it's Spain, they have been scoring 1 goal per match for how many matches in a row now (EC/WC)

expect them to break the spell this match though

6 if they don't score again tonight

i love economy of effort

ugh ireland playing means they let tommy smyth out of the auld onion bag he lives in

Hahaha must you remind me of ESPN's own little leprechaun.

classy finish

that finish

talk about pass into the net

through three men

That was class.

poor deems. glad he has fervant spurs speculation to get him through the summer and distract him.

did beglin just call it epl? bleurgh.

Damn, had to step away and miss the second one.

good save

save!

sweet save from given!

C'mon, Darragh will be like a pig in shit faced with this

the way iniesta received that ball

This is getting Harlem Globetrotters-esque now.

It's not even just the attacking, either - any time Ireland get the ball, Spain just pluck it right back off them. It's like the only way Ireland can hurt Spain is by actually giving them an injury.

*sigh*

piggy in the middle

Silva winning a header on the penalty spot

And fin.

he just can't stop

another pretty one for Fernando.

there you go
moving up the klata scaleTM

oh nando, you came and you gave without taking

have they thrown up a possession stat?

yup, that was assured

There was one earlier, Spain were only about 63%. I thought they might be exceeding a hundred.

Had to laugh at laugh Robbie Keane bravely running towards the corner flag while beating off a swarm of red-shirted humunculi.

well at half-time alonso had completed more passes than ireland so i'm guessing 70-75%
xxp

Cesc's teeth are so white

pffft taking off a striker on 2 goals against a knackered 3 division quality back 4.

Truly, Torres is the world's hexedest man.

poor old llorente can't even get 10 mins

FUCK

Damn.

holy racist

...plz come back...

oh dear, that is poor

Paul Green at fault there, well in fairness he's not even playing for a club right now

absolutely painful

"One day, Spain will not have the best team in the world - then they will have to become, like the Irish, the best supporters in the world..." - if there's an upside for Ireland here, it's that Peter Drury definitely won't be commentating on their next game.

"they're happy drunks, the Irish"

"theyre happy drunks, the irish".

haha
