Good morning my friends!    It is my wish you are doing fine today whether ready to go to work, school, vacationing..   I am enjoying watching the World Cup games and following up the news!    Love to see the headlines encouraging the Italian National team.  Yep, Italy preparing now for the game against Costa Rica and as headlines says.. hello, hello, Costa Rica believe they can defeat Italy.  So, get ready for the game!   Transfer market headlines also going wild and it hits me big time to see the “big no” from Inter defender Andrea Ranocchia to join Juventus.  Napoli wants to get Mario Sanchez…   Headlines also for Serie A players playing in the World Cup just as Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba winning with France against Honduras.   AS Roma forward Gervinho scoring a goal with Ivory Coast against Japan.
