After Croatia went to England in a meaningless game for them and punched them in the mouth, should've known to take Croatia yesterday. The Croatian B team dominated Poland in a game that was nowhere near as close as the 1-0 suggested...Germany scraped by Austria on a beauty from Michael Ballack...a 1-1 day with Pinnacle, and the account sits at a paltry $22 on a 10-10 record. Today, going to play the Holland draw with Romania (+286) and will be utterly stunned if Italy can't beat France (+148)...guess JP Losman's push for a trade from the Buffalo Bills hasn't exactly progressed…further evidence Leafs fans will go to any length in search of hope: there is talk the Leafs haven't won the Stanley Cup since CBC brought on the famed and overly-discussed-of-late "hockey theme song" and that now that it's off CBC, the curse is gone. Yeah, either it was that or decades of mismanagement encouraged and tolerated by the stupidest group of fans in sport...Johnathan Papelbon says the Red Sox are not done paying the Rays back for the brawl a couple weeks back. Somewhere, Todd Bertuzzi's ears just perked up...Aaron Rodgers told The Jim Rome Show that if Brett Favre is playing this year, it won't be for the Packers. Good for him...after weeks of silence, and after the Yankees lost Chien-Ming Wang, Mt. Steinbrenner Jr. erupted on the subject of pitchers hitting with this gem: "My only message is simple. The National League needs to join the 21st century...that was a rule from the 1800s." On that subject, I tend to agree. There's nothing more painful than watching a pitcher roll up to the batter's box, hitting .180, and go down on three pitches while trying to drop a bunt...Wang, out until September, leads the majors in wins by a pitcher since 2006, with 46. With no Wang, there is no October for the Yankees, not the way things stand at least...Tiger Woods does it again, going into sudden death after he and Rocco Mediate were deadlocked after 18 playoff wholes yesterday. 14 majors and counting...Philadelphia Philly Ryan Howard has four homers in his last four as he starts to heat up. Guessing he's now got more total bases than whiffs?...Chad Johnson is no longer fun. In fact, he might be crazy...the Mets axed Willie Randolph at 3:15am today. Willie deserved better than to be left twisting like that for that long...have a great Tuesday.
Worth a view from the weekend. The Texas Rangers go slip-n-slide at Shea, and win over the fans.

Good news from the world of sports media. It sounds like the Chicago Bulls aren't willing to let Suck Chwirsky become the guru he thought he was in Toronto, bulls.com is only letting him blog once per week.
Dear Chicago Bulls,
We thank you.
Love,

Betting on Italy to beat France? Did you know that Italy has not beaten France in regulation time since 1978? I somewhat agree though, that Italy has looked a bit sharper than France so far, but though history to overcome.
With Riberry now out and Abidal picking up a red, thinking the Italy selection is looking real good, even at only 1-0.
Holland threatening Romania repeatedly last few minutes.
Holland game was great...Italy meh..all goes back to the pk.
Italy had enough chances to make that game a laugher. What was Henry doing on that free kick? Trying to direct it in the net, or scared of the ball?
no mention of Javon Walker and his carrying of the flag for the proud Raiders organiztion?
Al Davis musta pooped in his depends undergarments when he got word of Javon's Las Vegas beatdown .... another wise Raiders investment.

the italy pk was totally legit.
ref had no choice.
luca toni couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat.
yes, his near goal with the side-of-foot volley would have easily been the goal of the tourney, but he had several point blank chances and couldn't even hit the net.
in the fourth minute he had a 1v1 on the goalie and decided to pound it from 22 yards out when he had a host of other (better) options.
Sadly I didn't see the game. So I havent heard about that pk till now. Was talking about the Romanian PK when they had the chance to close the casket.
YF,
Unfortunately the Italians have had a monopoly on the undertaking business.
My support (not my money) is on Portugal. I've also always enjoyed the Dutch's offensive. Wouldn't be upset if they won. Italy would disgust me though, I can't believe they pressured Netherlands into playing am "A" team.
And AMEN to seeing Suck Chwirsky widely abused!
And this bukkake guys cool, he should meet my sister.
But tb, i'm disappointed with the change from MK.
You sound so infectious now.
Infectious...exactly!
Good to see you here, ROTR.
