Italy are through! 4 - 0
Thanks to two goals by SuperPippo!
One by Di Vaio!
One by Hairy Scary Christian Vieri! (HSCV) Sorry, I can't think of him any other way anymore!
Also thanks to wonderful midfield work, including lots of lovely crosses by Totti (Good on you Totters.)
And excellent defending and keeping...note the clean sheet!
Nesta was subbed late in the second half, I'm guessing he wasn't 100% and was tiring. I'm not too worried, Italy wouldn't have risked him if he'd been seriously injured beforehand. Hopefully, he'll be able to have a good rest before next weekend and Paolo Gabriela can pamper him a bit.
Ummm Trap? Think you can give the number 9 shirt back to Pippo now?
Edit
How remiss of me to forget to thank S&M for downing Wales. I thought they might do that, a team playing for national pride can be the toughest to beat. (Hence my own earlier worries about Azerbaijan). Still, I hope Wales makes it through the playoffs.
Apparently, HSCV threw a bit of a hissy fit and tossed a bottle at Trap for subbing him? Shame on you HSCV!
