David Villa (5ft 9ins) tonight scored the goal of the World Cup so far, slaloming past two Honduras defenders before belting the ball into the top corner.
But for ITV commentator Peter Drury this was a perfect opportunity to patronise the short man (as a footballer, Villa at 5ft 9ins is small).
Drury, the cretin, said, 'He [Villa] had to beat two defenders, both of whom were twice his size, and he made them both look very small.'
So despite David Villa being perhaps the most prolific striker in the world today, Drury could not envisage him taking on, and beating, two defenders, even if they were from a low-ranked country such as Honduras.
Perhaps Drury should put the matter to Villa at the next Spain press conference.
Drury: So, David, you scored a great goal. Were you surprised you managed to take on two such big defenders, considering how small you are?
Villa: No.
Drury: But surely you must have been? I mean, you are tiny, and they are giants! It was incredible!
Villa: (rolling his eyes). Next question.
