That sounds almost familiar.

Last night I got home, channel flicked for some news and ended up with the last 20 mins of the Italy-Slovakia match. Rarely have I derived so much pleasure from a bit of football. From the Italy games I watched years ago I remember indescribably boring teams kicking the ball around in their own half for 85 mins and then snatching a goal.
Last night for about 15 mins of the last 20 the Italians for the first time in my life actually attempted to play football and it was a joy to see them getting what they deserved from a team that actually was prepared to play.
But what stuck was an incident which reinforced why I dislike football so much: the scramble in the back of the net between the Slovakian goaly and the Italian forward. The Slovakian waved his hand at the Italian in an incredibly girly manner and the Italian promptly went down like he had been shot. Pathetic. They are simply not men and that IMHO is what is wrong with football. Roll on the rugby. I've no wish to wind genuine football fans up and so will probably not contribute again but I think that that had to be said.
