    Meh, no I didn't like them. My fave Italy kit still is the one of Euro '04.

    Great game for Rossi. Changed the Azzurri's face when brought in. Hope he can keep it up.

    Nationality debate

    Not on a professional level, he was 13 when he started playing for Parma... Saying Rossi played in the U.S. is like saying that Messi played in Argentina. It was ages ago. I do get, i made my remark about the Scots, Irish and Brits which came up as a sidecomment. In our continent bloodlines...

    Nationality debate

    Costa Rican actually, but I think most of our continent shares the common history of being a mix of what little natives remained, colonial powers [Spanish mostly] and what they brought here, and whatever else fled for whatever reasons from Europe or Asia. I took Argentina as the best example of...

    Didn't know that all your bloody history [no pun intended, really!] goes that deep to actually get pissed off because of the origins of players playing for your nation's teams. I guess I'm just the usual Latinamerican who's used to being a mix of essentially everything. [Though it'd be fun...

    I agree, it's the opposite situation with what Ghanans would think of Freddie Adu and Mario Balotelli. Rossi has stated always his desire to play for Italy and represented them from U-16, and now plays for La Nazionale. He's not ever even playing in the U.S. I can understand the...

    Real Scraps

    I'm guessing Tuttosport logs on to the forum, reads some random wishlist posts then translate them to Italian, photoshop a picture of the player and then make a lot of money selling the papers everywhere. :lol:

    Real Scraps

    I agree. I wonder how Ferrara will handle this, given it is WC year, I'm guessing all of them will want to get enough playing time to get a call from Lippi. DP might not want to start as a sub too much and Iaq will want a lot more playing time, especially after his strong ending last season and...

    Serdar Tasci and Sami Khedira

    Is Tasci really coming? With Stuttgart play CL next season, and having already made enough money from selling Gómez to Bayern I wouldn't think them keen on the prospect of letting a good CB go before a really tough season.

    We need a new centre back any suggestions?

    I'd be happy with two out of these players for CB [Criscito, Tasci, Zapata], with Olof certainly on the way out. Though I have my doubts with Zapata coming. [D'Ago and Zapata, with Pozzo already making demented demands for D'Ago, he'd probably want Buffon and Diego + €65 for Zapata].

    Partly we should. It's bad taste, and a cheap attempt at humor. Simply taking some real problematic and twist it as a joke is a symptom of how cynic and jaded we have become. I cannot deny that I've laughed or at least smiled at some cartoon/video/etc of the kind. But I do feel repugned when...

    I didn't refer to you, but we get lots of turists here, and if you talk to them they don't like it how they are 'bedevilled' here or treated as complete ignorants. And they aren't really. (At least not those I've met). Edit: Just wanted to rant a bit about stereotypes, and that essentially...

    Essentialy it all comes down to symbols, and how much they mean to people. While religion has lost some of its effect in Europe, and the U.S. (being a Costa Rica, I can say that religion is still pretty strong here in Latinamerica), symbols regardless of their kind will trigger a whole spectrum...

    [ITA] Serie A 2007/2008

    He definitely was. Had he really meant it he would have mentioned himself first. Then Messi and then someone else. Mind games, I guess. Next he'll start releasing indiscreet rumors about Slutan's and Matrix's falling apart. Before matchday, the three of them will be on Jerry Springer.
