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
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 14 June 2012 19:28 (fourteen years ago)
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 (fourteen years ago)
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 (fourteen years ago)
6 if they don't score again tonight

That was class.

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

C'mon, Darragh will be like a pig in shit faced with this
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 14 June 2012 19:58 (fourteen years ago)
the way iniesta received that ball
― pandemic, Thursday, 14 June 2012 19:59 (fourteen years ago)
This is getting Harlem Globetrotters-esque now.
― William Bloody Swygart, Thursday, 14 June 2012 19:59 (fourteen years ago)
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.
― William Bloody Swygart, Thursday, 14 June 2012 20:02 (fourteen years ago)
*sigh*

― Smothered, Covered and Chunked!!! (a hoy hoy), Thursday, 14 June 2012 20:13 (fourteen years ago)
yup, that was assured
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 14 June 2012 20:13 (fourteen years ago)
There was one earlier, Spain were only about 63%. I thought they might be exceeding a hundred.
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 14 June 2012 20:14 (fourteen years ago)
Had to laugh at laugh Robbie Keane bravely running towards the corner flag while beating off a swarm of red-shirted humunculi.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 14 June 2012 20:14 (fourteen years ago)
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.
― Smothered, Covered and Chunked!!! (a hoy hoy), Thursday, 14 June 2012 20:19 (fourteen years ago)
Truly, Torres is the world's hexedest man.

― sonderangerbot, Thursday, 14 June 2012 20:24 (fourteen years ago)
Paul Green at fault there, well in fairness he's not even playing for a club right now
― Michael B Higgins (Michael B), Thursday, 14 June 2012 20:26 (fourteen years ago)
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.
