The Squadra Assurda alla Casa 
This time it was not. Italy is going to Portugal, despite having won today. Are useless because late late goals were. There was devastated after learning Cassano, in the midst of its conclusion by the 2-1 achieved in extremis that Swedes and Danes matched with the dreaded 2-2 that left them out. A disconsolate Nesta, with hands on hips, had its eyes on the engramado knowing that there was nothing to be done. Alone in his bow, Buffon put her hands to her head as she struggled to digest news. 
Trapattoni, who must have gnocchi by cojones, says that Italy is "with head high." I hope yours was as high as the distance to see it and be able to throw the ingredients in a salad capresse on his face. And is that a team that not even seeing the brink of elimination is able to put aside petty strategy based on defense that no longer works, deserves to go and not just with the top coat.

Portugal looked great against a rival of the great (in theory). So should be compared to Greece and Spain also had to be. Thus the forecast would not have come to ruin, and both bars have celebrated today as supplies equally. No way.
