I don't understand that

I don't understand that Italian celebration ritual. What does it mean? "I love you so much I am now going to snorkel the snot out of your prodigious Roman nose and we can pass it back and forth, forever"? (With apologies to Miranda July.)

For you to want for anything

For you to want for anything on Father's Day is an outrage. An outrage!

it turns out the goal scorer

it turns out the goal scorer feared he had stomach cancer and went in for a endoscopy just before the tournament started. the only thing they found was a big lump of cocaine.

they removed it, he made the plane and the score is 1 all.

as you of all people can well

as you of all people can well imagine it's a full month of father's days over here.

What!? Has Italian football

What!? Has Italian football fallen so far that its stars have to mule their own snow on international flights? Aren't there hangers-on eager and willing to perform that risky service for them? Although that does clarify the gesture. Perhaps it meant, "You are so cool right now you are like high-grade cocaine and I am going to form a big tube out of my hands and hoover up some of that good stuff and then go off and score a goal of my own with that newfound energy." Such a rich, nuanced culture.

Does anyone have Adrian

Does anyone have Adrian Mutu's number in their iPhone? He could really clear things up for us. And then of course there's the infamous robbie fowler goal celebration.

And it came from a penalty. Spooky.

And so, as we meander along,

And so, as we meander along, we stumble across the moment when things began to go terribly, terribly wrong with British football, when the hard men up from the Cornish mines who ran about in the rain and kicked each other in the shins as hard as they could and laughed at how much better it felt than a punch in the face from their dear old da' were slowly replaced by the whiny, indulged preeners who shame us all today.

But I digress. Forza, Azzurri.

Dude, you've clearly never

Dude, you've clearly never knocked back an 8-ball in one night. For men like us it would be like cooking up all your father's disappointment and injecting it into your veins.

Those were some hard, hard, spice boys.

If it could take away my

If it could take away my sorrow about Cameroon BLOWING UMPTEEN CHANCES in their game and getting eliminated early, again, I would totally do it Italian style. Damn you Denmark! Then again, I saw a really hot band from Denmark yesterday, so I am conflicted. And thus I reach my five comment limit.

G-g-g-o-o-o-al™ out.

you've been a ray of sunshine

you've been a ray of sunshine on this dreary match. what is wrong with the favourites this year?
