Yep, that's what I remember. I did read online yesterday that one of the Italian players was warning his teammates that it could be a very hard game and that the French will be charging from the beginning. Could be bloody.
Yeh, why don't you?? It will be a tough game because both teams want to go forward. You root for France and I hope you have no Italian neighbors who know what you did!!!! As we say (but do not think if our team loses) "the best will win"
Boy, do I hope they lose!!!!! Have you heard of "malocchio"??? (evil eye) NOW be careful, because it works long distance!! Ah, ah. Well, even if Italy loses, it is still THE WORLD CHAMPION. FORZA AZZURRI. Ciao
Mon ami, your tinfoil will do absolutely nothing to block the "malocchio". !! ah, ah This waiting is wearing me out. Cannot even pay attention to my work. Ah, malocchio to France and Romania. Vive l'Italie. Ciao
Now, this is "really" scary. I'll take my malocchio away but I'll leave it for France and Romania. I must say you do have some interesting neighbors. But no italians?? How boring!! Ask my neighbors - ih, ih!
Ray I just read a joke on a french magazine regarding today's game:
The picure is of Zidane (the guy who butted Materazzi) banging his head against a TV monitor chanting: Italie,( BANG) France!(BANG) Italie(BANG) France! (BANG) A friend tells him: You are taking things too seriously, Zizou (nickname for Zidane).
I grew up near some Italians and not far from the Italian part of town. In fact, it was a hotbed of mafia activity in the 50s and 60s. My neighbors across the street were good friends with a mafia lieutenant and I knew him by name, Jimmy.
You take this game seriously??? I never would have guessed. x:D
Ray I do not discuss much about "mafia" because there are many aspects to it and its history. So that is another topic (have you heard of the new film presented at the Cannes festival last month titled "Gomorra"? It is about the mafia in Italy and it is based on a book written by Roberto Saviano who is publicly exposing the mafia and its mafiosi. The guy is always travelling with body guards and is costantly under surveillance. Very serious stuff) Do I take these games seriously??? YEEEEEEEEEEESSSS, very much so. If we lose today I'll be in mourning for a year! No kidding! If we win the world will know. If you see Jimmy tell him you rooted for France!!
well, I didn't intend to discuss the mafia nor was my intention to cast all Italians as mafioso. I just said that to show I have had contact with some serious Italians. Quite near to me was the site of the largest mafia bust back in 1957. The house where they met recently was sold and it went for about $100k over assessed value just because of its historical value.
I don't think Jimmy is still alive and if he were I wouldn't admit to him I rooted for France.
Actually, I'm a fan of the English, I hate the French. Oh well. But, I'm keeping you entertained.
Well, aren't you full of surprises!! Now you tell me you like the English. Too bad they did not make it to the European championship! Do I have ammunitions to shoot now!! What fun. Hey Paul I am really having fun with whole this: I am serious about soccer but it is still just entertainment. Look how many topics we covered!! I wonder who bought that house. I would be afraid to dig into closets!! (ih, ih) Still FORZA AZZURRI. Ciao
As Voltaire said, “Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her: but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.â€
Me too..... Go Boston Celtics ! I wish I could watch it. We recently had a deranged deer get in our back yard and it managed to adjust one of our satelite disks enough that we can no longer pick up the local stations which include the big three. We need to get back out there and see if we can adjust its aim enough to pick up the channels again.
Good morning. I hope every Celtic fan is happy today, at least as I was yesterday with Italy's victory. Next step for us is Sunday: Italy versas Spain. so again FORZA AZZURRI good day and ciao
Yes, I will hiberanate until sunday afternoon. The italian flag, hat, and FORZA AZZURRI flag are ready. I will watch the game with my family in Italy via skype, so we can cheer together. I expect my husband to go somewhere in the pm, it is going to be noisy if we win and if we lose it will be "tears". Of course I hope for the win!! Have a good day everyone. FORZA AZZURRI always!!!! Ciao
