First congrats to The J on graduation....next I would like to put the focus on the AZZURRI for those of you who are not world cup fans that is what the Italian National Team is called. They play this sunday against looking like the french right now(half way thru the game right now....PK by Zindane). They have allowed one goal which was a own goal against the US of A. Everybody should tune in on Sunday and pull for the azzurri to win there 4th championship which would put them second by themselves behind brazil for most all time who has 5. These games have been nasty good its incredible. So join me in cheering widly for ITALIA...especially if its against france.....On another note we should all pay our respects to Kenneth Lay the founder of Enron who passed away. He was a visionary with his manipulation of accounting policies that brought down a corrupt big 5 and opened thousands of auditing positions nation wide...good way to avoid jail i suppose...and im not sure if alex is on this blog but this is for him cuz he was hating on the italians.
ESPN article on the game...alex claims Italy is the only team who takes dives
Players from both teams dived and over-reacted to the slightest bit of contact.
Michael Ballack often seemed happy to tap the ball to one side and fall over the nearest opponent. It would be nice if he could copy his national team manager Klinsmann and drop the diving habit when he moves to England.
Italy kicked the ball out for an injured player and Germany refused to give it back.

Go Italia!!! (Especially since as it turns out they will be going up against France) That was an amazing game against Germany they had too.
jenny picked italy after usa was out, i picked brazil (grrrr). it pains me to admit she was right but god knows i can't cheer for france.
PS: i don't know if alex is on here, does anyone have his valid email address?
