Allow me, if you will, to take you back in time; back to the 2006 World Cup. We all remember how much we wanted Ronaldinho to make it to the finals and how much people kept praising Brazils amazing talent. Well we all remember how they lost and how everyone was a tad shocked. People remember how much Renaldo was criticized for being overweight and of course that had something to do with them losing I'm sure, but it was just reported that the Brazilian soccer team was drunk between matches. Holy Crap, drunk. Your at the freaking world cup games here, you wouldn’t drink if you had work the next day, but oh all they had to do was play in the worlds most watched and loved sporting event that basically gives a country the ultimate bragging rights. That makes me quite upset considering everyone was curious as to how they could have done so badly. Well now we all know, they were drunk or hung over. But in reality, considering the way they were playing, finding out that they were drunk helps them out. It would even be nice to find out that England was taking bong hits in-between matches as well. It really goes to show you that any country can think so highly of themselves that they play like they’ve already won. But that’s what separates the men from the boys. France came eager to play and they worked hard at making the finals, I would say the same for Italy but when your team motto is “fall in sight of the referee” well frankly, I have no respect for you. Overall, it’s a matter of dedication and how much you are taking this whole thing seriously. It’s the game of a lifetime not just a match ever four years.
p.s. Italy’s motto is not what I claim it to be. It really sounds more like grown men on scooters saying Ciao.
