It reminded me of what Ricardo did for Portugal against England in the penalty shoot-out--not a chip shot, but taking his gloves off to give his team the psychological edge.<br /><br />Very excited for what lies ahead...thank you for the comment!Hasan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05169509006779026419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511853346696528507.post-60501129131291112932012-06-26T18:46:45.191-04:002012-06-26T18:46:45.191-04:00Huge Italy fan here!

So many games are decided by one moment where a ball squeaks in the net and finished 1-0. For some reason, Italy did not find that moment despite chance after chance. But they utterly dominated that game. England's effort was poor. They just threw themselves at the ball in the box. It worked but it was not good soccer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511853346696528507.post-19143169862563631652012-06-26T15:36:02.439-04:002012-06-26T15:36:02.439-04:00Hmmm...tough to say...I want Diamanti to stat, but...Hmmm...tough to say...I want Diamanti to stat, but how often is it the case that a player does well off the bench but fails to impress from the outset of a game?<br /><br />I thought Montolivo had a good game despite his misses...Hasan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05169509006779026419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511853346696528507.post-71969903064325667002012-06-26T15:33:18.073-04:002012-06-26T15:33:18.073-04:00Thank you!Thank you!Hasan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05169509006779026419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511853346696528507.post-14355266014688838622012-06-26T15:17:45.930-04:002012-06-26T15:17:45.930-04:00Good one - reflecting the status of italian and en...Good one - reflecting the status of italian and england football in terms of prowess,tactics and strength..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511853346696528507.post-33456675110246546232012-06-25T21:04:20.843-04:002012-06-25T21:04:20.843-04:00For the next game
