Just now, aws said:

Didn't Scipio resign after being charged with taking bribes? 

 

Et tu, aws?  Then fall, Garibaldi biscuit, from thine sacredly shelved jar.

English translation

1. Brothers of Italy,
Italy has awakened;
Scipio's helmet
she has put on her head.
Where is the Victory?
Offer her the hair;
because slave of Rome
God created her.

Chorus:
Let us unite!
We are ready to die;
Italy called.

 

2. We have been for centuries
stamped on, and laughed at,
because we are not one people,
because we are divided.
Let's unite under
one flag, one dream;
To melt together
Already the time has come.

 

3. Let's unite, let's love;
The union and the love
Reveal to the people
God's ways.
We swear to liberate
the native soil:
United, for God,
Who can beat us?

 

4. From the Alps to Sicily,
Everywhere is Legnano;
Every man of Ferruccio
has the heart and the hand;
the children of Italy
are called Balilla;
The sound of every church bell
calling for evening prayers.

 

5. They are branches that bend
the sold swords;
Already the eagle of Austria
has lost its feathers.
the blood of Italy
and the Polish blood
Drank with Cossacks
But its heart was burnt.

I think I like it less now, though its far superior to god to save the queen. We should change ours to Informer by Snow and his mate MC Shan.

Strange how Switzerland could take such a good set of pens v France and such a shite set today.

Yes

Probably partly because he held to much power in the political scene as he was the man that ended the threat of Hannibal

She put his helmet on her head? Kinky bitch.

Perhaps the bank accounts in Zurich we're topped up to ensure it?

You suggesting the Swiss rolled!

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Pity it's in a half empty stadium as this is final material. Whoever wins here will probably go all the way. Hope it's Italy.

[Lee909]

Reckon theres a offside there

[Bjornebye]

Disallowed fuck off 

[Lee909]

Terrible defending there, 

[Lee909]

Looked clear straight away to me

Nevaire!  

To mix a metaphor, if I may:

Belgium looking very dangerous now. I think they'll have too much for Italy here.

[Scott_M]

Has there been nobody at the games today because of capacity limitations or because UEFA are asking supporters to travel ridiculous distances at 4 days notice?

[Lee909]

If de Bruyne can stay on the pitch think they will win

 

He is so good but seems to break down so often. Shame, he is the one player at City its hard not to like

And yet an attacker - 10 yards offside behind an unaware defender - can rob that defender who's trying to control a through ball from the opposition, and score.

 

Funny game these days, footy.

Yeah, territorially and colonially speaking, it has a Congolese rather than an Abyssinian look about it.

 

But there might yet be an invasion of Crete.

Yeah I used to think he was fine but I guess the city taint infects everybody. 

[Jairzinho]

Great game this.

You're on both, Jairz, aren't you?

[Babb'sBurstNad]

These Puma kits are spectacularly shit, they're so nondescript. It's like something from an early Pro Evo that's missing the licensing.

Still the best sports brand in the world, mind.

[Pungkoq Hang]

Italians employing the dark arts here. How the fuck did the ref missing Chiellini manhandling Lukaku there?
