Must See TV (Sidenote)

One interesting side note to the Italy game and article I wrote. Myself, my dad, and Jeff all decided that Italy would be much better off trying to assemble a team composed solely of players whose last names are a type of pasta. Just imagine the possibilities…

“Rigatoni with the ball. He looks up and finds Fettuccine on the wing who crosses it, and… OH, IT’S RAVIOLI… GOOOOOOOOOAL! What a marvelous goal for Ravioli.”

Admit it, how sweet did that last paragraph sound. Way better than the current Italian players who have weak names like Toni and Buffon.

And since we all know that Italy will never quite be able to match up with Brazil skill wise, at least they’ll be able to match up with them name wise. If Brazil has Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, Italy would have Spaghetti and Spaghettini. There wouldn’t be enough sauce in all of Italy to cover that team.
