I only saw Pool-Fulham (2-0) from minute 60 on (being occupied with child-rearing matters before then), but I saw the best part. The Torres/Babel substitutions made the difference. Torres' goal was beautiful -- Reina cleared a long ball, Torres knocked it down, away from his defender, and raced towards goal. It seemed he would blast a right-footed shot at the keeper, but he dribbled across his body, in front of the defender, and nailed a left-footed, ground level line drive through the defender's legs and past the keeper. An utterly fantastic goal, the type that shows what world-class means.

This was an important win. I think Crouchy and Torres should start as long as both are healthy.
