Keane coming back 40 yards to collect from the full back then pass to the keeper. What is the point?

Given looks like he did all year for Villa. Sadly.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 14 June 2012 19:13 (eleven years ago) link
either that or a gk whose best feature was his reflexes is done at 36
easy for a shit gk to hide behind a terrible terrible team like villa (see also paul robinson)

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
― jacob von logflume (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 14 June 2012 19:29 (eleven years ago) link
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
― Ludo, Thursday, 14 June 2012 19:33 (eleven years ago) link
6 if they don't score again tonight

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.

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