Thunderball, while your pessimism is a little scary, I like your recaps.
I honestly don't watch a lot of soccer so I only know the high profile NT matches that I watch, as such I don't really know what is going on other than if we win or lose, so your recaps are much appreciated.
It is handy too because I can steal your recaps and tell them to my family as if I knew it all along.
Seriously though I just want Italy to win.
