Big falling out with Marco linked out of decisive on the bench against Portugal. No strangers yeah to controversies. That's Italy on the move Marc Van Bommel ditched. Van Nistelrooy touched gamely to stay up. Just manages to put his hand in the way super piece of play. Buffon did very well to avoid any sort of contact.

Throw in blues Azzurri. Fouls fouls everywhere blasted Italy. Buffon - ggggooall. Ruud Van Nistelrooy. The Dutch! Orange shirst in one of the worst decisions you will ever see.

Touch to Gattuso. The claps and the ooohs. Luca Toni down no decision in the referee great closing Van der Vaart again a cool little on the arm good decision. Such an aura of pessimism surrounding the Dutch. Pirlo rolling balls beneath his foot, Beatles mop-top hair shambles along. Slide tackles slip into advertisements.

Dare I say almost total football. In BASEL. Buffon defend. Beauty ball-passing. Old Italians. Gattuso not so inventive ball-winners Ambrosini. Last 35 minutes brilliant orange. Good goalkeeping that. Halftime.

Pretzels. Buffon surrounded by oncoming orange suns. Blasts the ball into the sky. This is a don't lose group. Why is that not a foul? Explain to me. First goal allowance guilt. Feet flying Ambrosini against. Gattuso. Lack of goals. Winding out. The cheer coming Del Piero on the bench. Donadoni turns who to first ten best out, tentative little protective to jeep on the game. Cross the refs consistent just let the game go. Kuyt taking time you know how much has been made Arjen Robben, fifty minutes in Kuyt has been any better from a by position wingless wonder one tackle too many. Break the choreography cam. Network seeds four interfifa. Dutch and ditch and struggles. Materazzi tumbled over good decision Materazzi free kick Kuyt. Corner. Ruud, thigh pain, grimaces on his face the shirt pulling.

Half-moon touches on the end at speeds, tight angle tough shot to beat Van der Saar. Elbow to the face of Schneider jumping headers elbows to faces. Rosso on for Materazzi. Marco. Left back. The logical case. Much like 9 minutes to make a change could have been had. At halftime. Talismanic figure for Italy. Ten minutes gone in the second half. On the righthand side. Whistles and jeers from the crowd. Pirlo in the platform Massimo De Jong. Didn't see the Dutch pinned back now firmly on the backfoot. Age of 37 foutry-sixth captain night. Holland passing passing passing put pressure on, the Italians. Evasive againstation. End result: a yellow card caper. Kuyt's clearance Camoranesi hasn't factored. Encouragement the last five minutes.

Lost Cannavaro front line defender. Helm of the Dutch to manage Ajax. Del Piero for Italy slips when he shoots. Bend it back in wide Del Piero off the post ten seasons 51 goals scored in top flight. Flicks and flaps. Much easier Marco Van Basten. Camoranesi counter-offensive two nil goals. Grosso again back in the thick dramatic game winner, Dutch just want to get to take keep out for as long as possible. Van der Vaart spinning Ambrosini. Commended great skill. Dead-ball situation for Schneider. Day four group D. Defending champions Greece Sweeden. Was that the moment? Great first touch Del Piero Ruud runs out, for Van Persie. Yes.

Look at Van Persie he's on here comes Cassano for Camoranesi. Third and final substitution from Sampdoria. Toni onside Luca Toni shot overrushed it. Just makes Dutch through. Boularouze pretty good job you have to say Johnny Hightinger. Engalah. Saved. Fabio Grosso beaten away by Van der Saar. Coldblooded clearance the Dutch don't know how to defend.

Counterattack masters, the Dutch. Beautiful. 5 foot 6 Gio. Van der Bigbird best goalie. Kuyt out. Bigbird saves Pirlo starts counter scores goal. Total football. Back to front. Got there early Grosso dig out. Going for goal fishes across the goalframe. Probably wishes he hadn't freekick Pirlo. Italians don't suffer this this is an old side. Dutch didn't just shut up shop. Non-Italians. Clapping brilliant orange chorus. Player lying behind the goal still considered active. Still at a lost lying down defender still on the pitch off the pitch injured. Van Persie tricks through shoots. Girl hands. Inflict further damage but not quite 90th minute Materazzi's health Dutch firmly sole position group C. 3 minutes stoppage start major tournaments fizzle then Spain great point important to grow into them. Introduce yourselves. Delivering the cross dealt with such contention suspect backfour. Whistle Dutch to outscore due to defense. Toni on the turn time stoppage deep in the corner.

The Houseword Jumble : College Station, TX

Everything is all right I was trying to cool your room off. Beethoven. Wine. Fruit Flies. Red lip stains on the ceramic mugs coffee cups. Drips down slow. Viscous adventures. Opera sings opera. High voices of bending language. Paul on the computer. Headband hair. Hammock hanging lax limp. Might be an early light night for me.

Where is the...where are the potcutting scissors? You want to cut some pot? I want to cut a bracelet. Yeah, way we almost bought new potcutting scissors. Really? Very expensive brand. Cece, flowered dress.

Fruit flies eyeing their death around the lipstained redness. Thought I heard someone knock. Leonard Cohen. Cece reads Salinger's Nine Stories. Dude I got a quote from Ronaldo uuhh whose...where are the. Oh, soccer injuries, YES!

Aviator fan on the DVD shelf void of the DVD's. American flag spiked through the spokes. So long Maryanne. Oh awesome. Haha. Wine going sour? Had a bad drought. Wait a little. It's time that we began.....and laugh about it all again.

On the key-nails: a key, a bull, another key (mine). I'm hot. I'll just pull my chair over.

Fruit fly back again just like Marryanne. Fixed. Kitchen bugs hey that's no way to say goodbye. The ink I see. Switch the rotation. This house is moving away.

I'm watching the funniest shit in the world, mainly soccer, people hitting and sports injuries. The dialogue dances between my mouth the words from my head the words and mouths of others. Leonard Cohen also.

Beirut niwbnnnnnow. Meow, cat is here, David Bowie eyes. The May will change in four minutes. You guys ready to go out again? The limits come from geography. Geography and time. Accordians and organs digesting horns. Cat sat watched me type. Very curious. Cat sat sitting on the table. Whiskers whisking air and chopchopchop. Twitching whisking ears. Fascination fumbling. The type and look at the sat same time. Eyebrows are whiskers. The cat plays with the typewriter. Why? Why do they move? There is no way to catch them all Ziggy Stardust! Cat cat attack is bored moving on to better things.

So that isn't electronic? no electricity at all. Clang clang bottles. You know where our tiny little screwdriver went off to? Meeeooowww. Meaarmmw. To the blinds the cat goes. Up the chair, on the sill. Pull the curtains apart there is the cool night window. It has been May 24 for 12 minutes, 08! That is good because I have a typing machine! exclamation point hey? Have you seen my hammer? The one that I left right there? I seem to kind of need it right now. I guess I'll just use this wrench. It is large enough, I just don't want to damage any of the mechanical parts inside.

I am excited. Bunny ears have always haunted me. ALWAYS! Even now they haunt me. From...that is where they end. From...oh damn they haunt me. Like arrows pointing away pridefully. No one is there. She won't be there for long. Upstairs neighbor woman. Get out of here. WHORE! I know why there are two periods and commas. So when the caps lock is on you can still use the buttons.
