Azzurri messed up (again) Tuesday, 24 June, 2008

And so it was that they lost the game and went home! Argghhh.  So unpredictable is the Italian game that, amongst sparkles of brilliance, sometime they mess up. Badly. They gave the game away to Spain, they really did. Italy didn’t play badly. Not at all. They just didn’t play and Spain took advantage, of course. As you do when you are in a competition. Maybe the word ‘competition’ escaped my fellow countrymen. Maybe they forgot the meaning of it. All I know is that every Italian with an azzurro heart (quite a few of us) were gutted. Now I am supporting Russia. They had a brilliant game vs Holland and I think they deserve to win. Turkey is not bad either if it wasn’t for the fact that the Coach cannot find enough players for his team. But that’s another story! England didn’t qualify, so my choice for supporting Russia can be fully explained and justified. Go Russia, Go.
