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 (fourteen years ago)
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 (fourteen years ago)
almost the rare 11 from Nando
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:41 (fourteen years ago)
he'll run the full gamut before the end of this game
― pandemic, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:41 (fourteen years ago)
8?
― boxall, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:41 (fourteen years ago)
why does de rossi have one long sleeve?
― Merdeyeux, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:42 (fourteen years ago)
since they've had a CF Spain have created some clear cut chances. Unfortunately the CF is Torres.
― pandemic, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:43 (fourteen years ago)
Ah, would've been perfect
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:44 (fourteen years ago)
That would have been some goal

i could do with this going to extra time
― pandemic, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:45 (fourteen years ago)
kinda unnerved nobody's calling this dull tbh
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:47 (fourteen years ago)
clocks disappeared
― pandemic, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:48 (fourteen years ago)
That was great, I'd've loved another half-hour too.
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:50 (fourteen years ago)
on the replay torres could have slipped that into navas on his last chance
― pandemic, Sunday, 10 June 2012 17:57 (fourteen years ago)
that was a fun game.
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 10 June 2012 18:01 (fourteen years ago)
blimey that croatia team looks attacking, modric, perisic, mandzukic and jelavic
― pandemic, Sunday, 10 June 2012 18:03 (fourteen years ago)
only playing 4 players a bit arrogant tho

corluka and schildenfeld must be slowest cb pairing in the tournament
― mizzell, Sunday, 10 June 2012 18:17 (fourteen years ago)
just as well they're up against keane/doyle really
― pandemic, Sunday, 10 June 2012 18:20 (fourteen years ago)
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 (fourteen years ago)
don't tihnk so, reckon he'll be the first sub
― mizzell, Sunday, 10 June 2012 18:37 (fourteen years ago)
Come on Doyler

Perisic will score tonight I reckon
― pandemic, Sunday, 10 June 2012 18:46 (fourteen years ago)
Hopefully
Wow, sounds like there are a 100,000 Irish fans in the stadium!
― HO WBEAUTIFUL IS THE GENTLYFALLINGBLOOD? (Le Bateau Ivre), Sunday, 10 June 2012 18:47 (fourteen years ago)
no that's just darragh

weird goal

Yes!

oh that was classy
Was that noise dmac shooting himself?
― jabba hands, Sunday, 10 June 2012 18:51 (fourteen years ago)
I think Jim Beglin just said "the Irish had the better of it up to kickoff".

have just been informed that italy/spain/ireland/croatia are the 'group of debt'

this whistle is pissing me off

Beautiful delivery.

Was just coming here to post the same, extremely annoying
Great goal though!
― HO WBEAUTIFUL IS THE GENTLYFALLINGBLOOD? (Le Bateau Ivre), Sunday, 10 June 2012 19:06 (fourteen years ago)
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 (fourteen years ago)
me too
― mookieproof, Sunday, 10 June 2012 19:07 (fourteen years ago)
old habit for me - my mother always hushes us after goals in case they're offside.
so happy
― gyac, Sunday, 10 June 2012 19:08 (fourteen years ago)
if only there were vuvuzelas to drown out the whistles
― Ludo, Sunday, 10 June 2012 19:09 (fourteen years ago)
ireland actually having more possession than i thought they would
― pandemic, Sunday, 10 June 2012 19:09 (fourteen years ago)
This has the air of an FA Cup classic, Ireland underdogging it like no-one's business. Vedran Corluka is actually going to start crying in a minute, isn't he?
― William Bloody Swygart, Sunday, 10 June 2012 19:15 (fourteen years ago)
I am enjoying this demonstration of HOW THEY CELEBRATE IN IRELAND.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 10 June 2012 19:15 (fourteen years ago)
Tydlesley is in such patronising full flow you wonder if he turned up in a comedy leprechaun's outfit.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 10 June 2012 19:16 (fourteen years ago)
Now, I know Peter Drury's not the most enthralling commentary box presence. But that's just rude.
