The man just does not stop smiling. Is there anyone else you’d rather play for?

I bet he’d make you feel better about touching yourself at night. What a stand up guy.

Canna has a special pass that he could be at the bench for Holland game. Not sure about the other matches.

Italia 1 – 0. Expect both teams to pay a cautious game. The result from France vs Romania will impact on the psychology of the game. If Romania wins (which they could) both Italy and Holland will feel the pressure to win this game.

Italy is known as slow starters but i have a feeling this is going to change.
The Don even mentioned Italy will come out hard out of the gate and also dont think they will pay too much attention to the outcome of Rom-Fra game when they should be concentrating on their own game.

3-0 Italy.

Man, I’m getting frustrated. Most of my comments are being “temporarily” moderated and I can’t even get trough on some threads? Why? Am I missing something? It says to contact the admin. but I can’t find any contact info.
I’m missing all the fun!

Match Holland – Italy.
This Match EndScore is to good to be true.
People did Black Magic ( VOODOO ) on ITALY, because they are jealous that Italy is World Champion.
Captain Cannavaro get injured and cannot play, also by Black Magic.
And the Referree was very generous to Holland, also because of Sneijders birthday, so he gave them this match as a present, also by giving Italy the yellow cards instead of Holland.
This is the first time in history that Holland got this onrealistic miracles score of 3-0 against Italy.
So this miracle is definitely the cause of Black Magic !
I wish the Italy team & Cannavaro very goodluck, and may God Bless them all to become the winner of this UEFA EURO 2008 !
