[tommyilromano]

I will be coming back to Messina in about 2 years right now I am in Turkey...

Spain is fuckin' amazing... Spain all the way if the keep playing like that.

Next game we (Italy) will test them. I'll let you know if they really "that" good (they are, no doubt!).

Salve! Di dov'e lei??? Parla italiano? Sono Siciliano/Castellano.. Io ho vissuto in Espana per diversi anni ma sono di Messina, Sicilia. Forza Italia!!!

Brindisi.

I don't think we are gonna medal in basketball. I have family connections with Spain though so I can't just bandwagon with them. 

No surprise. Italy is in the 8/finals with a 89-52 win against China! Impressive!!!

GROUP A:
Spain 4 0 QUALIFIED
Argentina 3 1 QUALIFIED
Italy 2 2 QUALIFIED

In the run:
China 1 3
New Zealand 1 3
Serbia-Montenegro 1 3

GROUP B:
Lithuania 4 0 QUALIFIED
Puerto Rico 3 1 QUALIFIED

+ 2 more between:
United States 2 2
Greece 2 2
Australia 1 3
Angola 0 4

If Lithuania beats Australia in the next game, USA is in.

Man, with Italy you never know. I wasnt expecting Italy to arrive in the first 8 in the last European Championships, but we arrived 3rd, 1 shot from the final by eliminating France, Germany, Slovenia, etc..

Everything is possible. Spain and Lithuania are the best teams in the competition, but if we dont face them till the semifinals, we can go for a medal.

True I dunno I am still pissed about the Euro04 I guess. They keep letting me down... I just can't take it man!

Man forget about Euro2004!

Anyway if Italy finishes 3rd and Puerto Rico 2nd, we will face them in the quarters. We can do it.
