Sorry too interrupt this asskissing to Torres and Spain, but New Zealand defence was extremely bad, the Spanish had way more time and often more space than our forwards had against Scotland, Iceland and Norway. V.Persie, Huntelaar are able to make those goals too. Keep in mind that Oranje hit the post an crossbar about 8 times the last two matches from not always easy positions. You can see that as a sign of their inability to finish or purely as very bad luck. And let’s not forget, the beautiful combination and V.Persie goal that was unfairly dissallowed for offside.
However, Torres clearly is a very good striker, I agree on that.

It actually took him only 11 minutes to complete the “true” hat trick. His first goal was in the 7th minute.

Now, New Zealand with all due respect are hardly world beaters outside of rugby, but that to me is the definition of being “effective”…

I think he only got the 3 chances and scored all 3. At least not many other big chances.

Yeah, it showed nicely the difference between Holland and Spain as well, they have a topclass finisher that only needs one good chance and it’s gooooooooooooollll!

We miss those chances cause BvM hasn’t seen the value of Huntelaar yet or Huntelaar isn’t good enough at the moment because he doesn’t play enough amongst other reasons.

Where you see Torres scoring needing just a reasonable chance (1st goal, just a little space needed, 2nd goal, good positioning, 3rd goal, advantage of height and good aerial capabilities), you see David Villa and Riera for example just missing in similar ways as Robben, vdVaart, Kuyt and Sneijder for example often just miss a reasonable chance (and when they’re not playing well, they miss huge chances as well). It then looks like they’re playing well, and creating many chances, but JUST missing is still missing. It doesn’t say they can’t score, they might score beautiful goals even, but they just need that extra chance to do it. While Torres yesterday was extremely effective in his chance/conversion rate. Until the job was done at least, which was already done after 17 minutes, wow.
