I'm sorry to keep blabbering on so much about sports, but it's just that kind of summer. And as I mentioned in a previous post, I was withholding judgment on Italy and the Azzuri at the World Cup, but the early game this morning changed all that. New Zealand, underdogs extraordinaire managed to get an early goal and even though Italy equalized on a PK shortly thereafter, the All-Whites played magnificently for the rest of the game to preserve the draw.
For New Zealand, glory, for Italy trouble! I don't know what it is about the European teams in this World Cup. France is a complete mess. Germany looks vulnerable. England has one last change to get their collective s--t together and Italy just looked uninspired. Perhaps in the same way England did against Algeria, but nonetheless, New Zealand deserved this one! (In fact, they deserved to win, but I'm sure they'll take the draw!)
Congratulations to New Zealand and the All Whites! Beat Paraguay and you're into the round of 16!
