Well, personally, I think when it comes down to looks Del Piero and Nedved are the real winners of Euro 2004.
Yeah, hopefully she wont have his intelligence and Mickey Mouse voice

Speaking of Nedved, I think he looks really good right now. His hair underneath is dark and light on the edges. Looks much better than it did most of the season IMO. I think that shows his long hair look can be successful with a little work.
Btw cannot tell you how much of an urge it is for me to laugh at myself writing the above.
I remember CLEARLY the reaction by the English media to Italy's elimination in WC 2002, because I was in England at the time. Maybe I'm being a little over-sensitive but I was disgusted and offended by their their silly little creasy wop attitude.
Sorry, but I had to highlight the hypocritical attitude of the press. We couldn't complain about 5 offside goals wrongly ruled offed and the Moreno fiasco, yet it's OK for the English to moan about Meier?!
Still..Campbell did foul someone in the box BEFORE Terry's inexistant foul on Ricardo. So there was a foul, but I don't think that's the one they called. Thus in a way you can say England were robbed. Especially since the linesman was already running towards the middle. Italy were denied to complain about 5 disallowed goals, England now should be denied to complain about 1. Nonetheless their complaints are very understandable.
And ill stop with the 'you fockers are wrong about england reactions' bullshit now. I mean you are wrong a great deal, but its like running into an french bar with a st georges flag, it dosent work and it cant result in anything positive
Im not offended or something in any way, infact i usually enjoy anti-english things as they are usually funny and totally off the mark.
We're just getting a very hard end of the deal here, thats all. But then again maybe people who live in barbados etc no more about England than someone who lives in London.
My lil bro was watchin tv bbc or itv dont know but the england players were talking about their fav musicians. Almost everyone said MJ-Bad was the best and Lampard said he liked New kids on the block Now them boys were bad.
One thing bout Becks theyre saying why his fitness levels were so bad. I think training in Madrid is a light jog around the shopping mall, tan on the beach then finish it off with a photoshoot. 4 real though he started well enough in Spain but I think he should head back to England.
It's just the tabloids who are so extremely strange and biased. Look at BBC, they actually stood by Italy in the World Cup. I remember several BBC-reporters saying it was very strange how Italy went out and that they really felt for them.

Yeah the bbc team are proper safe. Gary Linekar, Ian Wright, Alan Hansen, Gordon Stracham. And they can crack jokes as well.
They were dicussing the Totti spitting, and Gary goes I had a manager who told me whenever someone spits in your face you should swallow it and not let it get to you The Itv are bias bastards. esp' to Italy, Germany, Spain when they played defensive vs Portugal.
No need for me to heed your advice, I don't 'read' that crap anyway. In my opinion, the worse offenders are ITV. It's usually bad during Champion League matches (Ron Atkinson for example) but I really blew my lid after Andy Townsend's (2nd rate player, 3rd rate 'pundit') comments after Italy's elimination, even Des Lynam looked a bit shocked.
I know what the media says isn't what your average football fan thinks, my rants are solely aimed at the media and not against the English.

Yeah remember that well, as an italian sympathist (if thats a word) that pissed me off big time. I emailed them a complaint but then i've done that before after several comments i found to be rather racist by the commentators. Not that anything was ever done about it mind. Thats ITV for you. I'm sure you know we're not all such narrow minded tossers as Andy Townsend and co though!
