Friday the 13'th - who will be unlucky?
Friday, 13 June 08, 09:57 AM
It seems like a deja vu for me. It hasn't rained here in any morning except for the mornigns Romania has played. It's Friday the 13'th and I'm having a complete deja vu to the game against France. But I'm not a perticularly superstitious person, and I don't believe in Friday the 13'th (although, Italy has never won on Friday the 13'th).
The stage is set for a good game. Italy have to win, Romania can't lose. The game is played in Zurich and the weather is 11 degrees. There is no rain, and it's not so damn hot like during Romania - France. I saw different scenarios that show that we could qualify with 2 points. I hope we don't do that, but it's possible.
I don't have much to say for once before the game. I'm just being hopeful and wishing for a Romania victory against the champions of the world. Will it happen? I don't know. Can it happen? Why not.?
I'll be live blogging the game as much as I can in the OleOle match centre. I hope we play a better game and I hope we win and prove something to the world. If that damned man Victor Piturca manages to mastermind a win, I'll hold back any future criticism. If we can do this, we can advance and make a great image for ourselves. I have faith in my country, in our players and what we can do. I hope I'm not wrong.
We're not expected to win, but I think we will. Enjoy the game, and hopefully it will be a good one this time!

Crazy italians: "We'll cancel Romania's victory."
Thursday, 12 June 08, 02:43 PM
Roberto Calderoli, the minister of reforms in the Italian Government was asked in an interview on La Stampa if the game tomorrow between Italy and Romania has political implications. The hostile and slightly inhumane treatement of romanian "gypsies" being paid back by a Romanian victory.
Calderoli responded ironically: "if we'll lose against Romania, we'll pas a decree by which their win will be canceled morally."
What an absolute wanker.

Panucci injury for Italy and Matrix speaks
Friday, 06 June 08, 02:24 PM
More sad news for Italy as Christian Panucci was injured today in training. The news is that the Italian defender has hurt his right knee in an exercise this afternoon.
This is yet another piece of bad news for Donadoni due to the fact that Cannavaro just recently left the team with a bad injury. The Italian defense is looking more vulnerable as time goes on. The likely setup that Donadoni will use now is: Zambrotta - Barzagli - Materazzi - Grosso with Chiellini as the other option.
Also, Marix (aka Materazzi) has spoken up to say that he is not a phenomenon of football (wow. what a shocker) and that the Italians don't have their own heads up their own asses so to speak because they're world champions. He said that Italy will play their hardest and their goal is to have a good time while at Euros. Can't blame him for the good PR pitch, I guess calling people's mother names is all good fun for Neo. He also added that he's already thinking of how he will "stop Ruud van Nisterloy," which will be interesting to see.
I don't see the slow Italian defense coping well with the Dutch speed Monday, but we'll see.
