2 Juve legends.

 

[Alen]

A goalkeeper and a CB. I expect very attacking minded Azzurrini

 

[Bjerknes]

Good, I wish Ciro the best. But at the same time, I wish the worst for the Azzurri. Not sure how that works out, but it works for me.

 

[JuveJay]

He's Azzurrini coach, Mr. 'I Don't Hate Italy' lol.

 

[Bjerknes]

But I don't hate Italy, I dislike their national team and fanboys. You know this, Wayne.

 

[JuveJay]

Erm, yeah. That's what I mean, not the country. This is a football forum after all.

What is your nationality?

I'm seriously confused because I think you're Italian living in England and for some reason I pictured you as a Jap in the past and now I don't know how to picture you.

Post a photo of yourself, asap!

 

[JuveJay]

Don't be so gay, Alen.

I'm 'Britalian', Anglo-Italian, whatever you want to call it. Mother is Italian, father is English, born in England, also some Italian on my fathers side (his grandmother, affair with an Italian POW soldier - long story), also some Welsh and Scottish thrown in.

I think the Japanese thing came from when I posted that I studied there for about a year. I like the lifestyle though.

Why did you choose to support the Azzurri ahead of the English NT? How does the English part of your family take your support for the Azzurri?

 

[JuveJay]

I did't choose them instead, I support both teams, although like most English people there is a pretty apathetic attitude towards the England team these days. They are pretty much all underachieving scumbags.

Interesting background you got there Jay

He's the first Chink with Italo-English blood I've ever seen
And I've even seen (actually, I only talked to) a Jewish Chink from Watford.

I'm Australian (born here) but I have Italian born parents. I support both NT's but a lot of people cant get that.

And just for clarification, I was supporting Australia when they played Italy in 2006. But I had no probs cheering the Azzurri on the rest of the tournament.

 

[Bjerknes]

"I'm Azzurri through and through, unless they play ______________ ."

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Yep cause thats exactly what I said

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Oh and just to clarity something further

Juve >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Italy/Australia...any one else.

International football is fucking shite generally. Club football is where my passion truly lies.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Same. I don't have the attachment that I have with Juve.

This will get Andy really worked up haha. But apparently the voting for Euro 2012 was rigged in favour of Poland/Ukraine. And the guy making the claims is Cypriot, not Italian.

'How Italy lost Euro 2012 bid'
The former treasurer of the Cypriot FA Spyros Marangos has told La Gazzetta dello Sport that the voting for Euro 2012 was apparently rigged.

Italy's bid received just three votes at a UEFA assembly in Cardiff three years ago, while Poland and the Ukraine got seven.

Marangos alleges that four UEFA members' votes were bought for a total of €9.15m and insists that he has three witnesses and the proof to back up his claims.

“Before April 18 2007, the day of the vote, I noted strange movements,” Marangos told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “I knew that Surkis had an objective: to take Euro 2012 at all costs. And I started to inform myself.

“There are three witness. One has followed the movements of the people involved. The others can confirm the sums paid after the vote in Cardiff.”

Asked how many UEFA members were involved in the bribe-taking, Marangos said: “Four.

“One took €3.15m. The three others received €2m a head - a total of €9.15m. I know that in Germany they are talking about a fifth person, but I don't have the proof.”

Marangos then gave an insight into where and how the bribes were paid.

“I can only say that here in Cyprus €3.15m was in a big fluffy teddy bear.”

Asked to reveal what proof he has to back up his allegations, Marangos said: “Three documents. But one is sufficient to open an investigation.

“I am not scared. I want to go all the way. But I am scared for wives, kids, friends, witnesses, lawyers and also for you journalists.”
