In fact I was supporting Italy against Germany and the Italians played the best game of the tournament better than any other team in any other match.
Nonsense as usual. Italy were merely average but produced two sublime moments of skill.
What a great bet I made! I am sure you will be delighted to learn my each way bet guarantees me a pay out now that France have reached the final. And when they thrash the Italians, I will get even more!
I can only commend you for supporting Italy, just as you support our Commander-In-Chief.
Loyalty, and similar respect for superior firepower, have a lot to do with my support.
