Following the replacement of texts / outbursts football of the past, now place one, also in 2004, when the Italian national team was eliminated from the Euro group stage. If you've read some of my previous publications, you know I suffer to Italy irrationally. I tifoso and good (or bad, in the eye of the beholder). This quality (or defect) carries with it a universe of particulars, the main one being masochism and veneration or crucifixion of the selectors (rarely railed against players).

is love, so corny. Like love, the beautiful game is taken away, God, pain, visceral, beautiful, intense, joyful, magical and a bit masochistic as well. And as in love, the fans like we risking. My bets for this year I hope to write soon. The thing is not so easy, you should consider many variables.

And is that when making predictions must take into account not only antics, fitness, rival, team gear and figures and DT. As noted in the preceding article , luck plays a role, and Italy often have it ... almost always. There are exceptions and here one of them:

The Squadra Assurda alla Casa

of sheath Italy always comes to the big Cups. Of beans and bean species wins, even losing, go to the next round. Once I thought that God was wearing blue shirt and that in every World Championship San Pedro reincarnated in azzurro goalkeeper as a stern watchdog that guards the goal as if heaven's door in question.

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.

The Azzurri return home despite never losing. Absurd. The large Italy finished with five points along with Sweden and Norway, but is third on goal difference in the weakest group of the Euro. More than absurd? Yes Deserved? Too.

The fearsome catenaccio was opened by Bulgaria, the team most goals in the European event (DC -8) and to the encounter with the Italians had failed to score a goal. In Italy more than 60 minutes did nothing, even with the score against. Del Piero reconciled with the program, was more time to face her that in front of goal, a frustrating and frustrated Vieri became liable to the bank only to see balls go over the crossbar. Isolation, missed passes, shopping, vacuum zero football. Need I say more?

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.

And the two Nordic say they agreed to leave out the three-time champions, as Gigi Buffon says an enraged the media. And they say that the Bulgarian penalty was no penalty . And they say that the Russian referee whistled to Italy not dangerous faults, much less within the area. And they say that the rain conspired against them. And they say many things and may all be true, but be as certain as that Italy did not play football but to mediocrity and thus, my dear (because they are) ragazzi not win the cups.
