ITALY, THE LAND OF WONDERS
Italy is truly the land of wonders. Suddenly, one finds oneself in a terrestrial paradise – Euro 2024… – where, in Adamic attire, very young, blonde, and slender beings – the ideal embodiments of Donnarumma, Barella, and Scamacca – bathe in lakes with transparent waters and ecstatically pick and eat golden apples from lush trees – the abundant and astonishing goals – while the eternal one above (Lucio Spalletti) governs justly and benignly. The national team, as is well known, is the transposition of the sanctity of life.
ITALY AND THE TORMENTS OF COACH SPALLETTI
Suddenly, we erased the stroke that was about to seize us a second before Zaccagni’s goal against Croatia, and the uncontrolled explosions of rage from the coach who demands the recognition that doesn’t come his way. First, he speaks to us of pride, emotion, dominance of the game, and the uncommon ability of his Italy to play football, and then he insists that he be judged solely by the result and the fact that he emerged unscathed from the “group of death.”

ITALIAN VERSION

ITALY IN THE MOST FAVORABLE PART OF THE DRAW
Having said that, we also have the good habit of considering the result as law (not always the truth…). The aforementioned result, in truth, only came through the inscrutable ways of the Lord. Whether you call it “it is willed so there…” or less Dantesquely “luck,” we end up in the same place. Meanwhile, the Italy coach relentlessly resumes his more classic witch hunt for spies and informers and rudely insults those who ask him perfectly normal questions. How dare you doubt me, shameless “pippe” (note, forgive me but this is the term he used…)?
ITALY AND THE COMMON TROUBLES SHARED WITH FRANCE AND ENGLAND
And why have we erased this unpleasant backdrop behind Italy’s qualification for the Round of 16 of Euro 2024? Because the highly favored France of Mbappé only made it through as second, and England with Bellingham is far from convincing. Starting with Bellingham himself, in fact.
ITALY, SPALLETTI’S LUCK, AND EVEN THE EURO 2024 FINAL…
Not only that, the notorious “luck of Spalletti” which has supplanted the historic American “luck of Sacchi” has placed us in the less complicated and easier side of the draw. Oh dear! What luck, or rather, pardon, what luck indeed!
Thus, suddenly and without any logical demonstration, I witness the spectacle of loyalists in ecstasy, struck on the road to Damascus, who, with Superman’s X-ray vision, see Italy already well past Switzerland and even in the final! Eternal Lucio, just and benign, forgive us…
