So tomorrow we finally get to see some Italy action again. The game takes place at 10 AM and I’m not sure what channels it’s on.

An aside-I’m on a mini-vacation right now (hey, it’s summer) until later on today. I’m typing this on my friend’s Mac with some of the slowest Wi-Fi I’ve ever had. And to top it off, I can’t figure out how to open things in new tabs for the life of me (Damn Safari. Why can’t everyone just use Firefox?), so no pics or links in this post for now.

But where can you watch the game? Again I can’t check for sure since I’m not at my usual place, but I can think of four places where it might be:
-myp2p.eu, which livestreams about every soccer game that has a camera pointed at it;
-The Olympic channel for those of you with higher end cable. I know for a fact Verizon Fios has the channel, but I can’t check and see if they’re showing this game(The whole vacation/not being at my house bit);
-RAI International, which shows just about every game the Azzurri play;
-And by some longshot, maybe the Fox Soccer Channel if they’re not showing a 1-0 win between Chelsea and Wigan from last March.

In Azzurri news, Rossi has been confirmed fit for tomorrow’s game. The link for the story is over at channel4. It was feared at first that he might not make it but now’s he’s good to play. Which is a good thing. So no harm done there.

And I’d love to have a full, fleshed out preview for the game, but since I’m not home… I’ll post a mini-preview for tomorrow’s match:

The Azzurri to take victory in a close game, either 1-0 or 2-1. I’ve never seen Honduras play so I have no idea if they’re a good team. The fact that they’re relatively unknown is dangerous because that means they can be underestimated. But we have such a talented squad that as long as we go in hungry and wanting to win, we should be able to pull it off.

When I get home tonight, expect an edit making this post more fleshed out (I know how you kids love your pictures and videos). Again, I feel kinda bad leaving this post just text and kinda half-assed, but using this Mac is like trying to watch Desperate Housewives- it’s boarder line unbearable.

Edit: Apparently it’ll be on live at 5 AM EST on Telemundo. RAI doesn’t have the rights to it and the Olympic channel will be showing the game delayed (Thanks for Francesco for this news). myp2p.eu doesn’t have the game listed in it’s list of soccer matches so I don’t think it’s showing it on the site.

I put the link up for the Rossi story for anyone who’s interested.

And thanks for all the tips about Macs, but I’m back on my laptop running Windows now. But seriously, Firefox should be installed on every computer. And that should be mandatory.

so Honduras is putting together more of an attack now that the Azzurrini is content to just sit back with a 3-0 lead.

I know Lorenzo, it is for a good cause lol, and believe me, I would even stay up 2 days in a row if that is what it takes to watch la nostra Italia. What did you guys think of the penalty given to Acqaufresca?

Before the game, I was a bit worried about our defense, but they did very good, and it is funny how we didn’t even need Rocchi. I think he should stay on the bench, wished we had picked Osvaldo instead
