“Off-a-side-a!”

June 12 – 2008

The provenance of this video is unclear. These guys are definitely Italian, but one or more of them seems to have learned to yell at the TV from Englishmen. Is the video shot in Italy? England? New York? I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure a forensic lamp specialist could figure it out – that thing is a masterpiece.

At any rate, you can pretty much follow the highlights of the Italy-Holland match through the reactions of the viewing party: the rule-bending goal, the Italian chances followed by devastating Dutch counterattacks, and the near Italian misses. And wait, is that Frank Lampard sandwiched on the couch?
