Return Of The Azzurri

By: Chris | June 1st, 2007

Tomorrow is the massive Italia – Faroe Islands derby, so here’s a little video to get everyone back in an Azzurri mood. While you’re at it, check out Inzaghi’s goal at the 1:53 mark. Notice how wide open Barone is to the right and how Cech came within inches of getting the ball. Chooch. And my vote for best celebration of all time goes to Grosso for his goal against Germany. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen someone so happy to score a goal in my life, and justifiably so.

If you click anywhere on the video it will take you to the dailymotion site for this video. Below the video is a flagged warning: This video may offend!

Suck it up, pansies.

Quick trivia: Who led the World Champs in scoring last summer?

Answer: Luca Toni & Marco Materazzi (2)

I’ll admit it, I completely forgot he scored the first goal against the Czechs. What were the odds of The Matrix winning that honor pre-World Cup? 100,000-1? 1,000,000-1? 999,999,999,999-1? I vote for the latter. Really wish I had bet on that.

I miss the World Cup. Can’t wait for South Africa.

Sorry, but I can’t get into Euro 2008 if the incumbents are Greece. It’s like going car hunting, falling in love with a luxury car and then seeing the kid from the mail room pull up in one the next day. Really loses its allure, ya know?

  I think the Spain – Latvia game is on tomorrow. Which is good with La Liga still going, I’m sure the stars will play. Germany – San Marino is on FSC as well. Italia game is being streamed here:

  You can’t fault Greece for having everyone underestimate them. They truly played a team game and were cohesive enough to get through the tournament on pure teamwork alone.

  Hey Chris. I figured you’d look here first, so here’s the info. The Dortmund-Roma friendly is supposed to be July 29 (it may get moved up a week if BVB plays in the Emirates Cup) and I THINK it’s gonna be at the Westfalenstadion (but don’t count me on it). If I find out for sure, I’ll let you know.

  Steven, Thanks. If I can I’m gonna do everything I can to go.

  Mauricio, I didn’t mean to take it away from Greece. I just meant to say they aren’t nearly in the class of previous winners or the teams that should win.
