Poor Germany
Poor German roommate.
Germany was eliminated from the World Cup by Italy's drama team. For a bunch of guys coming from a country whose culture values manliness, toughness, and even machoism, they sure acted like a bunch of pussies out there in front of the whole world. In one instance, this Italian player falls down on the field clutching his leg in what seems to be agony, so the ref sends him off to the bench to have his injury assessed and treated. To aggravate his poor acting, the Italian player just happily gets up and runs off to his bench.
As shown by their beautiful first goal against Germany, Italy is a very good team, but they would be even better if they relied on their soccer skills, instead of their acting skills. It is totally unnecessary and downright disgraceful, and that's what pisses me off about the Italian World Cup team. As if it isn't bad enough that the Italian soccer league is now tainted with a referee scandal.
It would've been really cool if Germany won the World Cup, because my German roommate looks uncannily like German squad member Michael Ballack (#13). He knows it, and all his friends and relatives know it. Thus, I wondered why he wore a generic German team jersey rather than Michael Ballack's jersy. He cited his reason as being the high cost of the same jersey, but having a player's name and number emblazeoned on it. I couldn't blame him.
But he could've been swamped by girls asking for autographs once he landed home at the airport.
