So one of my friends at work who is a huge soccer fan asked me if I was following the Euro Cup and naturally I said "not really" but then he mentioned to me that the two semi-final games will be Spain vs. Portugal and Germany vs. Italy and that roused some of my attention. I don't really care who wins in the Spain vs. Portugal game but I guess I feel obligated to root for Italy against Germany since after all, my dad's side of the family is from Sicily.

SPOILER: Me anyway, probably... Yeah but if you end up sleeping on the couch that means that Italy won so it would be well worth it!

Hey, if Italy plays against us like it did against Spain (and thereby wins), I'll gladly sleep on the couch.... But if the Squadra plays like it did against England, and wins, I will burn my "Germany" jersey and never eat Pizza again! Ever!  Honestly, Komemiute, I really was disappointed by Sunday's match. I was hoping for a better game, considering how weak England played. 35 attempts, and still no goal! Pirlo was great, as usual, de Rossi ok, and both Balotelli and Cassano harmless. But I really was missing the clever, flexible gameplay like the team showed against Spain. You know, with the 3-5-2 system during the offensive game phases, and 5-3-2 when defending. That was very, very effective (but I imagine very exhausting to play like that). BTW, I was watching with my ex girlfriend (we still are close friends) and her Italian family.

@Panzer: yeah well, not necessarily. Germany could win and therefore I'm not qualified enough to share the bed... @JayHawk: all you wrote is well under the paragraph of personal opinions and therefore well accepted! Can't wait to see the match! Where's the Ex family from? She isn't called Virginia, right?

Her father is from Sicily, her mama from Calabria. So I really had to behave myself, or else go swimming with the fish. She never thought my Godfather and Soprano's jokes were very funny. Her dad always laughed at them, though.

So she had no sense of humor. I guess it's best that things didn't work out.
