Spain Vs. Italy, Euro 2012: David Silva Takes A Shot! Then Another!

Update: at 9 minutes into the match between Italy and Spain, David Silva took a shot! That's right, the Spanish midfielder deviated from the plan (the plan is pass, pass, pass your opponent to death, by the way...or at least the commentators tell us so) and let his shot fly from the edge of the area. No repercussions for Silva, though, as he wasn't actually paying much attention to what he was doing. This time, he'll be forgiven for such cheek.

But then he did it again! Spain caught a bit of speed, with Cesc Fabregas tearing through the Italian midfield. Daniele De Rossi slid in, but Fabregas managed to get a pass to Andres Iniesta, who quickly slotted over to Silva. But goals are just so classless, aren't they? It's much better to send the ball straight into Gigi Buffon's hands. Otherwise this match just wouldn't be fair.

Gotta wait until the end to score, guys...
