I think that had the sports authorities displayed any balls, they shouldn't have sent this team to the WC. I think that Lippi is a rude, arrogant, illiterate arse and that coaches, though they can constitute a bigger factor in a WC/Euro, are way overrated for their actual influence on a team's success. Coaches don't win games, they can only lose them. And Lippi almost did that by making three changes before extra time, two of which were just stupid. Cannavaro? Talks out of his ass most of the time, keeps a sly, tribalistic attitude, but will give you his last rolo on the bus home. Just your run-of-the-mill Neapolitan scugnizzo, really, so what's the question? Finally, I know for a fact that there are millions of Italians thinking just like me, and that this isn't a contradiction. Oh, and I am feeling very tetra.
E i francesi ci rispettano,
Che le palle ancor gli girano,
E tu mi fai : "dobbiamo andare al cine"
E al cine vai, al cine vacci tu!
Lalalalaaaaaaaaaaaa
Lalalalaaaaaaaaaaaa
Lalalala lalala la-la!
