The Final Nail In Antonio Cassano’s Azzurri Coffin
Whaddya know, another goal, another meltdown from Antonio Cassano – proving he’s just as boiling hot and icy cold as ever. Talentino started the meltdown off in splendid fashion by scoring his 3,147th goal in the last month (or so it seems). Then he kicked out at the corner flag, as he’s been known to do, and the corner flag hit back, cutting him in the lip – proving that the corner flags of Serie A aren’t going to take his shit anymore. He got a yellow for the celebration to add insult to injury. Apparently Tony then said not nice things to the ref and got sent off during injury time. Cue the insanity. Cassano went all kinds of apeshit, fired his shirt at the ref and headed down the tunnel to wait for his suspension.
As far as the Euros go…..he’s done. I’d been wavering as I’m sure many who actually have input have, but this was the final straw. In a tournament where one game can decide survival, you can’t have a player as mentally unstable as Antonio anywhere near the pitch. And in the event that he’s brought and benched, you can’t have a guy that insane anywhere near your locker room in case he gets all babyish about the benching. One similar outburst could decide the Azzurri’s fate and that’s way too big of a risk, especially if Donadoni is looking at “semi-finals or bust” with his employment. Some day he may grow up and be given another shot, but it won’t be before the fall, that’s almost guaranteed now.
Oh, and the game ended in a draw, but you knew that already because Torino was involved. 16 and counting.

Damnit man, somebody needs to put this kid in some severe anger management or something because he is so friggin’ talented.




if only we could sedate him inbetween games…




Cassano can’t be allowed any near the National Team. He’s a train wreck and the unity of World Champion Azzurri Team cannot be disturbed.
I feel somewhat bad for him –as bad as you can feel for someone making millions playing football. He is such a talent and a pleasure to watch but unfortunately has to many personal demons to deal with.




Thank you, nice post, very informative. Regards.
