sounds like your priest when you were an alter boy coming through there nicky, did he make you one of his "special boys?"
@gep-lay off fliakis it was a deserved comment
@greg aye i am pleased for the jambo's in the lithuainian squad but they may have just poked teh bear as now italy will feel they cant make another mistake
He's American, might have something to do with it. In my experience they usually have a hard time understanding some nations don't expect to go for gold in every single sport because, quite simply, they can't. I once spent a full half hour trying to explain to an American friend of mine that Andorra didn't care they were highly unlikely to ever qualify for a major football tournament and would do everything in their power to hinder Holland. That they would approach it as a major game despite it 'just' being yet another WC qualification game for the Netherlands.

Well.. the American point of view might not be so bad in this case. After all you should never aim at second place even though it's more than likely you won't get gold.

where should we aim though? italy, france, ukraine, scotland. im sorry but ill remain fairly pessimistic about us topping the group. doesnt mean that the lads wont give their best, but seriously.

miko was our best player last night (bar the goalie of course) and cesnaukis was rather poor for most of the game. it was the first good game from miko in lithuanian shirt.
