"I am always amazed when I hear people saying that sport creates goodwill between the nations, and that if only the common peoples of the world could meet one another at football or cricket, they would have no inclination to meet on the battlefield. Even if one didn't know from concrete examples (the 1936 Olympic Games, for instance) that international sporting contests lead to orgies of hatred, one could deduce it from general principles." -George Orwell

Isn't there was war in some Latin American country over this?

Little Italy? Hmm, sounds like a mafia hit or something! jks!

[manmanny]

I know its Off-T. But why the emotions are high everywhere is because of this. Form Toronto Star.

And get this Its Italy and Ireland. Arrogant and dirty genius players Vs. Hotheads. (Sorry of Stereotyping)


So, bad memories of math.

But here’s how today in Group C plays out.

The current standings:

Spain — 4 points

Croatia — 4 points

Italy — 2 points

Ireland — 36 points (what the heck is this 36 point? Typo I guess)

Italy is in Poznan to play the Irish, while Spain plays Croatia in Gdnask.

Italy — must win; and hope that one of Croatia and Spain wins;

• if Croatia and Spain draw 0-0 while Italy wins, Italy goes through;

• if Croatia and Spain draw 1-1, Italy must beat the Irish by 3 goals; and they would be through.

• If Croatia and Spain draw 2-2, Italy is out no matter how badly they whip the Irish

Croatia — win and they’re in, lose and they’re out if Italy also wins

• Draw 0-0 – out

• Draw 1-1 – if Italy beats the Irish by two goals or less, they’re in

• Draw 2-2 – They’re through

Spain – Can only go out if they lose

Ireland – Can score 173 goals tonight, and they will still be in Dublin by noon tomorrow.

I work in a newsroom, you're guess may be accurate based on what we're hearing.

Stop trying to link the incident to soccer, you're letting the media brainwash you again.

what media? It may or may not be related to soccer when the facts come out but it's hardly a crazy assumption that this shooting, in broad daylight in little Italy during a soccer game in which Italy is playing is related to soccer.

Awesome quote, squaggles.
