I'm surprised they are not going with Negredo. Hopefully Torres plays well

Torres ripped that, but Shay Given got beat near post, not exactly covering himself in glory this tourney

Why did Xavi and Iniesta swap shirt numbers when they play for Spain? Gets confusing at times

That looked like they were playing FIFA on amateur mode, the whole defense was just standing and waiting.

Given having a mare, keeps punching everything, you'd think he'd catch a shot by now.

As I say that Silva just scored on a Given punch

I just hope that Given survives the EC w/o any mental damage. He already suffered hilarious goals vs Croatia, and now that last goal :X

I just realised how futile the Irish "let's just hammer a long ball to Keane" tactic is when Keane (1.76m) has to win headers vs Pique (1.92m).

at some point of the competition Spain gotta start shooting. can't pass your way into the goal against Germany.

Well, Torres waited with the shot until the LAST fraction of a second. Still 3-0. Given w/mother of migraines.
