You know what, I think I'm even more annoyed at the inclusion of Monty than I am at the exclusion of Pazzo. Of course, I'd prefer them both to go (or neither, so I can imagine them spending the time decorating Monty's new house and ignoring all of Gambit's text messages telling them he is going to go INSANE if Gattuso does not SHUT UP), but if only one of them gets to go -- FFS, Lippi, Pazzo's been much more on form than Monty, and this is from a slavering Monty fangirl. Pazzo's even scored for you, while Monty's done bugger all. I'm beginning to believe all those whiners over at the Azzurri Offside are right about you after all.
*chokes on drink* It's so, so depressing to admit, but the absence of Krol helps everything. (It's not our rather shaky defense I'm worried about, though, it's our COMPLETE LACK OF STRIKERS.)
(You do realize that the opportunity for angst inherent in two Denmark-Sweden games is what made me decide to support Denmark in the first place, right?)
(Poor Gambit, thinking he was finally going to have peace with them out his hair. The fool!) Lippi definitely LOVES Monty, he talks about him all the time. It did look for a while there like he really like Pazzo too, though, I wonder what's up. Could it be down to where they play, do you think? Like, he wanted one more midfielder but not another striker? Or just random Pazzo!hate?
(I had no idea that was the case! So you started like Denmark to spite Sweden, or what?)
I really don't get it, which is why I feel myself, regretfully, starting to lean towards the general Offside opinion of "Lippi has gone totally bonkers". If you look at the choices he had with strikers and midfielders, Pazzo was one of the best of the lot, whereas Monty was middling to 'notably more full of suck'. I don't get it. Or, rather, I don't get it from an (admittedly external) rational view -- I think it honestly is that Lippi just sticks with people he feels comfortable with, no matter how old or full of suck they're getting, and that really, really bothers me. That bothers me despite the fact that I don't like the Azzurri and don't support them -- even if it didn't involve individual players I care about, I don't like seeing a team run badly. (Ok, maybe Juve
( ... )
(I didn't even realize you hadn't supported Denmark forever! Are you going to stick with them after the WC is over, or will they be on their own after the Swedes have been vanquished or at least badly bloodied?)
(I don't know! I expected to dismiss them after I had used their thumpings by Sweden as an excuse to immolate myself in a fiery, passionate death (which Celts just don't get to do, we're all ash groves and mournful dirges, it's so unfair), but they have so far inspired in me some quite misguided flames of misplaced patriotism. I'm sure Sofie would laugh at me. I've only ever been to Denmark twice.)

Maybe things will go well for Denmark, though! The absence of Krol should help a lot, right?
