Euro 2008

[Adrian II]

Boy did Italy get pwned. If they aren't the gamemakers everything falls apart.

They always have been, even in games they lost.

Remember the Italians have a harrowing soccer season, never a day's rest, and every day brings a new scandal as well.. Not the best of preparations.

But they have four days to go until Romania. All they have to do in that game is set up Del Piero, who has quicksilver feet and can shoot at goal from any position as we saw yesterday, make 2:1 and they're back in the tournament. I'd hate to see them drop out so soon.
