Re: UEFA Euro 2012 Official Thread - Discussion, Analysis, Predictions & All News!
But getting back to what I saw, he got a big striker ego. Like all strikers he want to keep scoring but like all 'great' strikers, he also like to score in more complicated fashion rather than opting for simplicity.
In the first goal, he demonstrated his power but his shot was on the GK. His best choice would be to put it near the second-post but he went in force. Getting on his second goal, he did a classic run but while many would have dribbled the GK or fooled the GK, he tried a fake faint (which made him lose a split second) and shot in force again - where there was few space between post and GK. So, he likes risk like big strikers but for a player who needs to regain his old form, that seemed like over-daring. In a good day, his risky decisions pass but in another bad day like against Italy, his choices doesn't pay off. He's not a bad player or in lack of confidence but his future will depend on his efficiency. The more he'll score, the more he'll feel acclaims but the more he misses, the more he'll be buried under pressure. This Euro is like a Century-old Wooded Bridge for him. Cross it successfully and re-gain your position or perish with repeated mistakes.
Oh you know, given that Shakira's couldn't reach Ukraine with her private jet, your defense was relatively good, if you know what I mean
I noticed something else with Torres. Wait, was everyone's eyes simply scrutinizing Torres's moves in this match?

Maybe the year I was born, but not sure.
