fpbItaly's performance has been shameful.
Having said that, there is nothing more ridiculous than the American bloggers who insist on repeating to each other that soccer is boring. Of course, four fifths of mankind are all wrong, and only a few hundred million Yanks are right. You people are like the proud mother at the army parade who said "everyone's out of step except my Jimmy." Say that it bores you, and nobody will question your taste; there are Italians and Brazilians who dislike soccer. Bit if you qualify it as boring, period, you simply certify your alienness from the human race.

If 'it' is your having 5,000,000,000 friends: what it is to me: a pleasant and wholly incredible surprise, dear boy. I'd not thought you quite that popular, by yr own account - however deserving, of course.
