Sorry to nit pick this out of the conversation, but that's utter BS. Baggio didn't fvck anything up for us. He singlehandedly raised a slightly above average team to the finals on the back of his brilliance, and then playing hurt in the finals did all he could to win it. His miss is the last...

Amauri is far supperior to Iaquinta if that is the comparison everyone is going to make here. Iacrappa has nothing to his game but speed. His finishing is terrible and so is his technique. He would never see the pitch if I were the manager, and I don't know HOW he gets call ups to the national team.

It could have been easier, but it also could have been worse. I'm not confident about it with the way we're playing though.

Stuttgart - Barcelona Olympiacos - Bordeaux Inter - Chelsea Bayern Munich - Fiorentina CSKA Moscow - Sevilla Lyon - Real Madrid Porto - Arsenal Milan - Manchester United

As I've said, I'm second generation Italian-American, and I will one day be moving to Italy. I have always identified myself by my Italian heritage, it is who I am. Nope. For one I couldn't give a p*ss about any sport other than football/soccer/calcio. For another, when I DO watch something...

Don't want him, can't stand him. Not for the Azzurri. It may be pot calling the kettle black to you, but the difference is a guy like Rossi has close Italian ancestry and grew up wanting always to play for the Azzurri. He turned down chances to play for the US hoping and waiting for a call up...

I have several friends in Milan, as well as a little northwest of there in Domodossola. I actually would like to live in Rome though as my first choice, or I also have some connections in Napoli, although I'm not sure I would want to live there. The Amalfi coast is beautiful, but Napoli itself...

He's allready been saying things at/about me, but it really doesn't phase me in the least. This is hardly the only football message board I take part in, and it certainly isn't the first time I've taken crap for my allegiences to Italy. It doesn't bother me in the least.

Of course it's not likely that they ever make it to that level, it's called a hypothetical. I don't put that kind of expectation on them, we play the game for fun, and hopefully they develop a lifelong love and passion for the game.

Or because his job moved him from Chicago where my family is from to Milwaukee, to Ohio, to Michigan, to Oklahoma City, finally to Houston where I have settled in now for the better part of the last 25 years or so (minus a year spent in Wyoming).

Not much. My father moved me out of the neighborhood when I was very little, so I didn't really learn it like he did. I'm self teaching right now (with Rosetta Stone) in preparation for one day moving there. I'm about 9 years away from my time frame of actually moving though, so I'm not rushing...

I would argue that De Rossi is as well. We have others with the potential to be world class, but no there yet as well. As for those of you with problems with my support, it's not like I haven't taken crap for it before, you won't be the first to dislike me for it. But as a second generation...

First off, it's not ItaliaN, it's Italia, no 'n' in there my friend. Secondly, yes, as a second generation Italian-American, I am proud of my heritage and do support Italy over the US. I also plan on moving there as soon as I am able, though that is a few years off in the future still.

Do you think I care? I do support and like the US, but I am Azzurri first and foremost myself, and if any of my kids ever made it to international level soccer I would be pushing for them to choose Italy over the US myself.

Dru and myself ... who's the third?

Yes please! I would take him in a heartbeat, I think he's better than Kjaer frankly.

That should read we BEAT the other European underachiever ...

Bud, Miller, Coors ... pretty much any mass produced american beers are little more than wattered down pee. Horrible stuff.

That's cool. We have some really great friends up there, not to mention travelling there for tournaments all the time, so we spend a lot of time up there. I actually love Dallas and would move there in a heartbeat, but my wife and I both have very good jobs and especially in this economy are not...

I would love to see the 4-3-2-1 with Diego and Giovinco playing off of Trez, but I don't expect it at all. We have to have enough to take these guys out though, I mean it's just Catania. Please don't send us into the winter break with a loss to these jokers ...
