There was no way he should have stayed down for that long. Torres has constantly shown in the Premier League he simulates and this isn't surprising in the least.
 
I'm watching this on a delay and just seen the red card. Ruined the game. Torres is an absolute **** for staying down after tripping over his own leg. ******* disgusting.
 
torres should have been sent off as well - he barged a player off the ball, when xavi was taking a free kick, that would have been a yellow. then another yellow for simulation - staying down for 3 minutes when he tripped up.
 
The more times they show the Torres incident the worse it looks. Pique was almost as bad pleading with the ref for a card.
 
There were quite a lot of nasty tackles in there. I think it's quite an amusing response to such a simulating team like Spain, if you're gonna stay down then give them a damn good reason to Chile. ;)

Not Cesc though.

Dont worry, there is still time for the ref to send Torres off.

In the meanwhile Spain are 2-0 up , wahey !! :D
 
I know how much ye love RTE here so...

The panel thinks the sending off was probably right as he knew what he was doing, including Ossie Ardiles who knows a thing or two about professional fouls and was hoping for a south american win...
 
i thought better of him and rated him highly, his play today has been shocking, hes went down a few notches in my book.

your obviously watching this with your red tinted glasses

Giving a defender a bit of his own medicine (after being barged himself) and then staying down after being fouled and you're crying your eyes out? I missed your post comending him for not making the meal out of the penalty he probably should have had when he got barged in the area.

If Torres has gone down in your opinion based on that 45mins then god knows what you think about a lot of the other players in this tournement.
