Great finish to the ODI, England need 12 from the last over and Malinga bowling it

[Mickey Rosa]

He had his fairytale in Paris, sad end to the best sportsman this country has ever produced imo.

[oleras]

Nice try.

[CHDad]

That is a typical Irish way to end his career.

[Jam-Fly]

Llorente and Negredo cut from Spain's World Cup squad, but Torres included. Didn't really expect that tbh

I know Del Bosque is one of those coaches that likes certain players, but how can you justify Torres over Negredo. Negredo is pretty much better in every single aspect (experience is the only area I can think of where Torres can be argued).

Since it's the done thing now...

edit: also surprised Navas isn't going. He didn't have a great season, but I pace is so important these days, you'd think a place in the squad would be warranted just for an added dynamic if nothing else.

Guy in the apartment next to me has been attempting to play The Godfather theme song on his electric guitar for hours on end for the past few days. He's fucking atrocious, sounds so bandy. Good mind to go round and dish out some Don Corleone treatment if the guitar wanker doesn't STFU.

Torres has won the last two golden boots in international competitions he has competed in.

not sure if you're trolling but...

the history books will show he won two golden boots alright, but everyone remembers the impact he had in those tournaments. The last two years since the Euros also heavily point towards Negredo.

I'd imagine Torres' points per goal ratio (or whatever it's called, basically, a goal to make it 2-1 is more valuable than a goal to make it 5-1) is awful for Spain I'd say. Similar with Chelsea too I'd imagine, I can't remember many winning goals he's scored, alot seem to be the gloss goals against weaker teams.

click the date of the tweet (often like 21h or 10m for tweets not older than a day) and the URL will have 18 digits at the end.

lol, read someone mention 'Torres' ridiculous lob vs Bolivia' and googled it. Found the penalty he scores where he puts it down the middle and thought 'ah here, that barely counts as a lob and it's definitely not ridiculous.


That however is more like it. It'd remind you of pressing the wrong button on FIFA.

Crucial first goal against Ireland in the group game in 2012, when Ireland had been threatening to rip them apart for the first two minutes.

In case anyone in the world was still in doubt what absolute self-serving cunts the Quinn family are.....

Cell. Key. Throw Away.

Meeting a friend tonight who wrote a book on them. Rant awaited.

Cue Sean Quinn falling off a boat or being involved in a fatal car accident in Moscow.

I blocked that from memory. If he didn't score then we surely would've won Euro 2012, one of those 'so close, yet so far' moments.

Goals win matches which win tournaments.

Torres has proven himself to be the top international striker about at his last two tournaments.

Golden Boots.

Was in Spain for a week during Euro 2012 and had a rant about him after one of the matches in a pub to a few lads beside us at the bar.

Turned out two of them were his cousins

Still stand by what I said.

You'd think so.

I remember now it was after the Spanish match. We left the bar and got egged by a passing car of young Spaniards. Cunts.

Both Setanta channels. One of the Italians got injured early and they all backed off and we're making them look like us while we ping it about like Barca. Playing good stuff tbh.

Aquilani now off injured so they will back off completely now out of fear of injuries.

Italy always come good at business time, they'll top that group.

Yeah, our second home Craven Cottage. Think we've used that 3 times in recent years when Thomond was probably an option. Temporary seating in Tallaght would even do.

I'm pretty sure we organised the game and not Italy.

not delighted he got injured (which i was semi pleased about, esp seeing it wasn't serious).

Im delighted that he got injured by, scoring try - obnoxiously booting the ball into the sky/crowd and in turn pulling a muscle.

Epitomy of the Aston/Farrell attitude.

This is absolutely disgusting.

What the fuck is wrong with people?

Why is their such strong racism up north? I remember being in Belfast one time and their was a group of African drummers busking. People were throwing bananas at them.

Am I wrong in thinking this is primarily a loyalist thing?
