Brilliant academy performance. For such a young team the U18s showed great team work, lovely strategic play. Add some speed and they have a winning formula.
And, now, we have a coach: Gerardo "Tata" Martino, who brought Argentina in to the Copa America final.
Ready for 2017

USTA in Atlanta
That time my husband entered a USTA tournament and I channeled Marcie Tidwell and Jerry Maguire to become the perfect agent.

Iddio la creó
Ah, povera Italia.
We are out of Euro 2016. But with our heads held high.
It's a double whammy as Germany has broken our winning streak against them, great team that they are they had never beat us in a competition game. Until now. Having said that, we tied on the field. We lost in penalties after 18 shots taken. You can't call it more equal than that.
A few comments - Buffon, what a captain. Conte, I love your coaching style; coach as MVP. Pellé, too bad about the pre-penalty over-confidence, you played a terrific tournament. In the words of my passionate and wise husband: "Pellé le prende tutte!"
Grazie Azzurri, ci avete dato orgoglio nel calcio italiano.

Euro 2016 - and we begin
With France-Romania
Haide Romania!
Respect Romania, some great chances and you made them sweat and that made me happy. We also found the most amazing Romanian supporter who was wearing France's colors and thus is either a trolling genius or completely clueless. Take your pick.
Today, at the airport, streaming Albania-Switzerland, as you do.
EUROS MY LOVE !
