I would have called it eagerness or concentration.

Sigh, why does it take so long between games… 12 aug. and still a year for the actual WC, I wish Holland wasn’t qualified already or just get this thing started already, whatever.

I have been(and will continue to be) a fan of the Italian football team from the first time I watched them play..right now they might not be on top but that doesn’t mean anything…the history of Italian soccer would fill libraries and surely their future would do to..right now it’s a transition phase for the Italian team and once they send some old folks packing and sort out the new blood they will be right up there with Spain and Brazil

..but prof Porchettaaa u don’t seem to be talking about the Italian football team..u seem to be more interested in slandering and thrash talking..this isn’t the place for it prof(In fact this isn’t the place for the Italian team as well)…go find some other place mate..this place is for true football fans..whether they be spanish fans or Italian.. quit it dude..racial prejudices show how classless a person is..well, I suppose you won’t understand it anyway..

—>You said: “Also, Iam deadly sure that Lippi will kick out useless finished aged players and will mix the talented youth with experience and ofcourse we have the most naturally talented footballer in cassano who will be in the squad for 2010″
Well, for your information, during the Confederation Cup, I did not see much of Italy’s youngsters playing.

—>There, read this article (even though it’s from Goal.com, read it Porchetaaaaa):http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/2009/06/22/1339976/this-is-the-worst-italy-i-have-seen-since-taking-charge-marcello-

2)You said:”it is hilariious to see spanish posters regarding their team as world class..Spain struggled against an ordinary Italia in the euros, it was italia who looked likelt to get the winner, if not for casillas´lucky/superb save after getting wrong footed on a camoronesi drive..Spai nwill never win anything in future..senna is ur best player”

Well, during the Confederation Cup, Italy had so much problem wit Egypt that I pitied them. Is it a problem if Senna is “our best player”? How ca it harm us? If I’m referring with “us” it’s just to simplify my writing that’s all.

Maxx said: “You’re all living off your 06′ win and that wouldn’t of happened if Grosso didn’t dive against Austrailia as they were outplaying you. You’re also thank Materazzi for being a thug and a racist. Zidane was toying with your team the whole game.”
Which is correct. Italy’s ways of winning were outrageously suspicious. They were awarded of penalties that they did not deserve. Their 1-2 touch was sublime though. However, they had to rely on dirty tricks to squeeze their way out.

You said:”SEnna will be another year old and with him waning, spain will not achieve anything”
Well, you should look at the mirror: Italy have a very high age average. What can you achieve with Cannavaro or Zambrotta? Aren’t they old? Not to mention the currently retiring Maldini. The guy had 34 years old when he participated in the 2002 world cup. So,what is your point?

3) You said that youngsters will come. I don’t see Serie A filled with youngsters. In fact, Serie A is the home of retiring players. Italians teams are being poached from their uprising star because they cannot measure themselves agaisnt the English teams and Barcelona is particular.

4)You said:
—>” not a racist here ” but you comments are filled with racist comments or heinous remarks:”an american thrash” Hey! For yor information, Giuseppe Rossi was born in the United States, but decided to play for Italy because of his Italian heritage. So, it seems that even thou you consider “thrash” you cannot keep your noise out of their “garbage”.

—>”not a true europeaN, U R A DESCENDENT OF A FLOP/CRIMINAL/BEGGAR ” What is the meaning of such a comment? Recent studies have shown that the human being has originated from Africa. So whether he’s a European or a “DESCENDENT”, we all come from the same land. LOL Such a rudimentary answer for such a stupid insult.

—>”timoty a descendent of criminal/rapist/begger/loser/flops who ran away to great pastures has really had nothing to cheer for in his pathetic, petty life…” Well, a lot of Italians immigrated in different after world war two. So, your statement has been nullified by your own blindness to admit that citizens of your own country do the same action that you are mocking at.

—>”blah..blah..blah from the descendent of a flop/rapist/criminal..whatever..Purist my pink arrse..facts r facts r facts..America is just an institution formed by the ancestors of classless/historyless” Well, Italians that have immigrated in South America were serving under the order of Mussolini. Now, their lineage are from this dark era of Italy. do we really need to discuss about history on a website dedicated to football?

—> Then, you keep saying: “sorry not a racist here” but you “unleash” comments such as:”Malouda from the african nation of Europe, France..”. What were you trying to tell us by underlining this? I really don’t understand where you’re trying to go. What if France has a lot of African immigrant in their country and that their national team is composed a lot of them?

All in all, I could have continue to reject all you statement. I must say that you’re quite a phenomenon “porchettaaaaaaa” or “9 champs leagues Milan target” as if it wasn’t obvious that you two are the same person. To cover yourself of the embarrassment that your national football team is suffering recently, you’ve attacked on, a blog spot, a cybernetic place designed to respectfully share and debate our opinion, an unknown person by saying racist comments. The funniest part of it it’s that you’ve been doing this repeatedly.

As far as I’m concerned, I have nothing with the Italian culture. This is the reason why I did not blasphemously talk agaisnt this country. However, you shouldn’t be allowed to type such preposterous posts. If this is the way you think, may it be your will. But, you should not poison this blog sot with you negative thoughts.

He was here last year when I was writing this blog and he’s here now.
So why isn’t he banned already? Why is he getting his ego kicks by writing on this football blog?

Who ever runs this blog (TheOffside, etc) needs to get their act in gear and filter this person’s comments … it’s beyond frustrating trying to debate someone who hides behind their computer and spouts this disgusting nonsense when all we want to do is talk football.

He’s getting his ego kicks out of our attention being focused on him instead of the national team.
