I loved the Miracle of Castel DiSangro and recommend it to everyone. I also just read Among the Thugs and it was incredible.

Ciao Jay,
Piacutto molto tuo nuovo sito Web! Sono arrivato ieri sera e ancora sono molto stanco e con un puo di “jet lag”. Spero che tu puoi capisce la Lingua Italiana. Se no, continueremo’ in Inglese.
Did you already hear that Vieri and Cassano have been left off of the Azzuri? How about the poor showing of Juvi up until the Siena match? Ibra has been really out of it. My personal opinion is that the Italians will have a lot of problems beating a lot of teams in the Mondiale and cannot seem to compete well in the UEFA and cup championship. Lots of brutal fouls which made me feel that they could not compete well with some of the UK, Spanish and Portugese teams. I’m sure that my Italian Bretheren would crucify me for my opinion. Anyway, looking forward to seeing you all soon.
Ciao
Chuck
