Fernando Torres

[CHOULO19 24,332]

None of the spain players look their best, heat taking its toll?

Heat? It's winter in Brazil!

[Kish9 50]

God knows whats going to happen in Qatar.

[Jase 43,479]

Heat? It's winter in Brazil!

Not everywhere in Brazil is!

Heat? It's winter in Brazil!

Yeah, "Winter is coming" and all that malarkey, unless you live on the freakin' equator!

I felt he did alright, though he looked very exhausted out there, but considering he has played an incredible amount of games in last 2 years I can understand that.

Still at 29 years of age I feel his best years are way in the past and no matter how well he does, we should look to sell him while we still can. We do not need a high earning player who depends a lot on his pace and is almost 30...

Heat? It's winter in Brazil!

It was 29 degrees Celsius out there, not exactly a cold winter evening.

[zolayes 14,489]

Its still fucking winter in Ipswich

[Rmpr 8,977]

Not everywhere in Brazil is!

Yeah, every host city for the World Cup is in the south hemisphere, so everywhere teams go to is winter!

However, it is not even the heat that bothers, it is the stupid high humitidy in the Northeast (Fortaleza, Recife and Salvador) that will fuck with the players. It prevents you from sweating, which prevents you from coolin down, meaning you will get tired a lot faster and you will need to constantly drink water!

I get what you were saying and you are right, but it is still winter and it is more the humidity than the heat itself!

I thought he played well.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

It was 29 degrees Celsius out there, not exactly a cold winter evening.

Still not exactly unbearably hot.

I thought he did very well yesterday. Definitely one of Spain's better players while he was still on the pitch.

Well for me it would be like dropping into a pool of lava!

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Well for me it would be like dropping into a pool of lava!

Well for me it's spring

[haranr 485]

Torres is in form but he will lose it soon.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Well for me it's spring

Spend a winter in Scotland - and I will consider you a man

He isn't, an in form player will never be replaced up front with a CDM which just happened to him last night. I think this tournament was his last chance to prove to Jose he could still flourish but he threw it away. Think he will be sold in July/august.

Still not exactly unbearably hot.

Not if your chilling out on the beach but If your doing something physically and especially mentally exhausting it is.

he was replaced because he was past knackered spent most of the last 15minutes of the 90 hunched over hands on knees

Nonsense, Soldado & Villa are both on the bench you know, it's entire a tactical sub by Del Bosque.
