Thanks Rhye for clarifying this. I was just so used to the Italian soccer player's preoccupation with their hairstyle, that's why I was wondering. And maybe read too much about Di Canio and feared about othersJuve players shaved their heads to celebrate the scudetto (as long as it's assigned to Juve), that's it. It isn't even stylish here actually....
Though I don't like very short hair, I appreciated the fact that they weren't so polished as in Euro 2004, where they probably thought they all were stars and their hair was the most important thing.
Anyway I wonder how you can see fascist (???) implications in this. Shaved heads can be related to neo-nazis. Not even nazis or fascists (who, the latter, could be recognized from wearing in black.)

However, the Journalist was still confident as both Italy and Ghana are below the US in FIFA ranking so the US should beat them !
Rhye said:well probably you are right, I was just anxious and couldn't watch the game with objective judgment.
Even todays newspapers prove me wrong (but I still think to Nesta saving us from a counterattack with the heel...)
Rhye said:I jsut found this forum:

very funny.
Now it's a tragedy, but if you browse back some pages, you'll find a load of statements like these true gems:
"We will win. There is absolutely no reason to believe that the US will not win the World Cup."
"12% of the Americans say they will win this World Cup"
Usually Yes. But after the brasilian performance yesterday...SoCalian said:Edit: Is it a crazy thought to think that Australia just might beat Brazil?
woodelf said:In another fit of poor broadcasting they said yesterday that if the US ties Italy and beats Ghana then they're definitely through to the next round. WTF? Maybe if they beat Ghana by 6 goals. These idiots assume that because 4 points worked last WC it's guaranteed to work again.
Beat Italy, beat Ghana, end of debate. I don't see 4 points after losing 3-0 doing the job.
'Cause Sweden and Denmark fixed their resultRhye said:Italy was out with 5 points last Euro (2004)
