I’m not sure about Italian Flag etiquette. I don’t know if it’s a tradition to blow your nose on the flag when celebrating a World Cup victory. Perhaps it is, I dunno.

Great reason to have a TiVo, here’s a video of the Italian guy blowing his nose on the flag:

Heh, funny stuff. He looks right into the camera and has a big blow! Yummy snotty Italian flag!

Anybody know who the player is?

Congratulations anyway, Italy, great game and great tournament!

Here’s a neat optical illusion that tricks you into thinking you’re seeing a colour photo, when it’s really a black and white one.

And since the World Cup is on, it’s a photo of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Portugal’s made it to the next stage of the World Cup — its first time doing so since 1966.

And speaking of goals, here’s a great article on Maradona’s “Hand of God” goal.
