Justin_3d 1,140 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Great game.But has a lot more to prove, cause he also had those great games once in a while during the season, and then faded away.Oh and the Spanish style seems not his style. 2 goals where more like Fernando goal himself.All this back passing and sideways passing is not what he looks for, was able to see it during the game in his face expression.

Jype 6,398 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 guess your going to stop complaining mateI'm a man of my word, so yes.Happy for Torres, had a great game. Let's just hope he can continue this form for the rest of the tournament and into the season playing for Chelsea when it really matters.

Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Speaking for myself, Spain's style is extremely boring to watch, same goes to Barca. If they are willing to lose some possession and place more through passes during counter-attack, Torres will score for fun. jmarlow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ignored gaping holes in the Irish defence that Torres was exploiting, ignoring him and carrying on with the Tiki Taka bull shit.

That's why they play with 6 midfielders. You are rightly frustrated cause you make 5 good runs, making yourself available but they just pass it and pass and pass ... samzilla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch Barca play every week! (only because i usually have a bet on Messi to score a hattick most weeks) so thats really the only entertaining thing for me when i watch Barca play is just to cheer on Messi! but apart from that they are so dull and boring to watch! same goes with Spain! It must be so frustrating for Torres at times playing in that team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortilla9 390 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Sometimes when I watch Spain I feel the mantra from top to bottom is "we MUST pass the ball at least X amount of times before we go forward with purpose". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormerRussianSpy 163 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 He only needs one more goal to surpass his total from Euro 2008... let's hope the next one is the final winner again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the final Villa was hurt so Torres actually played as a true 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 he doesn't need to convince you! he has already convinced the people that matter!Although that maybe true, the aim of this thread still is for users to share their opinions on Feranado Torres. And he's as entitled to expressing his opinion as you are. Totalitarianism will not work here.As for Torres he wasn't exactly excellent throughout the game, but he got the all important goals. I'm happy for him, I just hope he can build on this. I fear if he does not score in the next couple of games he'll be back to square one.

Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Very quiet in here...So it should be. Less attention he gets, the better. He scored tonight, that's what he's supposed to do.

I was more or less making a comment on how his performance in these Euros can potentially surpass (statistically, at least) his contribution from 2008 -- one which he was particularly commended for.

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Very quiet in here...No, it isn't. I'm sorry, but I said after his misses last game, that I didn't care what he did for Spain and that you can't judge a player base on a few games. Chelsea didn't get Torres to score goals for Spain against Ireland in the Euro, we got him to perform with Chelsea and after 67 games, he's been awful. He could score 15 goals in the tournament and it wouldn't change that (it would bode well for his confidence though.) This "Torres is back" based on one good game against a poor side has happened about 5 times in the past 2 years and every single time, it turned out not to be true. He won't be back until he is scoring regularly for Chelsea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPetrCechx 13,573 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 he said many stupid things in the past (after the CL final)... he is not so loyal. nachikethas and TorontoChelsea 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it, in Chelsea most of his goals where from through balls from players like Anelka, Benayoun, Mata and such where he ran at the defender and beat them?He is not into possession style if that's true.More of an explosive style like United.....he would have been awesome over there!

Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 He would have been awesome for us in the 04/05 season when we played differently - more direct, faster, with flying wingers and pressing. Hopefully next season can be his time. This is promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
