Wow. Just… wow. This guy is a real piece of work! Just when I thought he was done spewing controversy, the coach of Les Bleus, Raymond Domenech, fires a verbal volley in Italy’s general direction. Apparently, earning a ban last time around didn’t result in a more verbally disciplined Frenchman.

Indeed, he’s chosen to continue with his mouth-running, but this time, he’s targeting Italy’s style of play. The funny part is that (and I don’t think Domenech realizes this) if anything, his comments will probably serve to motivate the Azzurri, and if you remember yesterday’s post, you know that Italy can really use an extra motivating factor these days, especially since they learned that they only need 4 points over the next two matches.

So, thanks, Ray! We need more gems like this, if you’ve got ‘em:

“How will Scotland v. Italy finish? A draw, because Italians know how to do that. If I had to bet on it, I would put everything on it finishing level.”

Suuuuuuure. Keep telling our ragazzi that they’re draw specialists, and we’ll see what transpires.

Forza Italia!
