Good morning my friends.  How are you?   I am so nervous awaiting for the mega World Cup Semifinal Brazil vs Germany!   Headlines calling the game Colossal… and you bet it is.  What a pressure for Brazil without the ex AC Milan defender Thiago Silva missing the game after getting the second yellow card.  Moreover, forward Neymar also missing for injury.  Lazio forward Miroslav Klose will look to score his 16th goal for Germany in   World Cup.

Love the headline on Coach Roberto Mancini saying to lead Italy is an honor.

“Brazil lost Neymar. Zuniga threats problem. Higuain goal for Argentina. Osvaldo-Vargas for Prandelli. Netherlands in, Costa Rica eliminated,” Front Pages La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport, Sunday 6 July 2014

Good morning my friends.  How are you?  Any plans for Sunday?  I have a busy day and planning for a barbeque with some friends.    So, allow me to offer you a cup of coffee or tea and share the news.  Wow, mamma mia.  I am in total shock after reading the problems going on for Napoli midfielder Juan Camilo Zuniga receiving even death threats after committing the foul on Brazil forward Neymar resulting in a fractured vertebra.   It’s just sad because Neymar will be out at least for 2 months.   The incident happened during the World Cup Quarterfinals game Brazil vs Colombia.  Zuniga publicly apologizing stating that it was not intentional, but threats continue.

On the other hand, my friends, I am very happy to see the headlines praising Napoli forward Gonzalo Higuain!  Wohooo! Yep!  Higuain scored the only goal for Argentina against Belgium to secure the victory and qualification to the Semifinal after 24 years!  Imagine, just how proud I feel and you bet all Napoli fans to see one of our Serie A players being a protagonist in the World Cup.

Serie A transfer market news are still going up and down….  It seems the biggest news for the moment is AS Roma getting free Ashley Cole as he no longer associated with Chelsea!   Hum…  Forward Alberto Gilardino seeming to join Lippi and go to China……  what? Inter defender Walter Samuel to Sampdoria??? oh well…. just a rollercoaster…..
