It's been more than a year since Torres was considered a premiere striker, but I agree with the general sentiment of your post.
A real curiosity for me was the failure to play Llorrente earlier on in the tournament. In particular, I really don't get why he wasn't paired with Navas in the closing minutes of some of those games. When you get Navas on the pitch as a fresh winger, it's a disservice not to have a true finisher in the box to capitalize on the opportunities he will generate.
