Since I’m in an “uploading-pictures” kind of mood, here are selected snapshots of Euro 2008’s France vs. Italy match two days ago. Emphasis on “selected” (i.e. by me, because I thought they were funny and because I just can).

Also, since every self-respecting picture should include a caption, I have provided two for each. By hovering over the picture, the real (serious/boring) caption (as well as any photo credits) will pop up. Below the picture, a funnier (I hope) version of the same caption by me.

Note that with regards to the match timeline, pictures are in no particular chronological order.

Enjoy!
.

Lucky bastard…

.

Italian play on words…

.

Benzema (looking at the scoreboard): “Hey, if I close one eye I can cover the “2″ and we still got a chance”

.

Gattuso: “Damn Claude… you stink worse than one of your shots on net!”
Makelele: “Oh come on! It’s just a little body sweat!”
Referee: “Get some Febreze over here. NOW!”

.

Where’s Massimo Oddo when you need him?

.

Cassano: “Alright! ALRIGHT! I won’t strip this time, I promise! Get off me!”

.

Gattuso: “Don I swear… if you touched that last slice of mortadella in the fridge, I’m gonna fu**ing kill you”
Donadoni: “Teehee… easy Ringhio. There’s still some prosciutto left. I think?”

.

Makelele: “Mine!”
Abidal: “NO! LEAVE IT TO ME!”
Cassano (to self): “And I’m the child?”

.

Ribery: “Wait! Wait! I still haven’t finished my crossbar challenge with Luca…”

.

“The Arc to you, Triumph to us”. Indeed.

.

The ball hit Makelele so hard his head disappeared. Turtle-style. Pretty much like the rest of France..

.

Les Bleus are eliminated. Some French players have fainted. Buffon tries to revive Henry by giving him the kiss of life.

.

Gattuso: “I fu**ing hate prosciutto! I swear man, I will pound you harder than I ever did Marcello”

.

Cassano: “Pleeeeeeaaaase?”
De Rossi: “Goddamnit Antonio! I said NO!!! Keep your damn clothes on!!”

.

Henry: “Serenity now… serenity now… serenity now…”

.

Grosso: “Tag! You’re it!”

.

Cannavaro: “Hey Eric, Lilian called. He says ‘good job’.”

.

Donadoni: “Ok Antonio… whatever you do, DO NOT take your clothes off!”
Cassano: “Ao ma vaffanculo! Won’t you guys stop breaking balls with this sh**!”
Guy with the creepy smile in the back: “Come on Bobby! Let the boy have his fun!”

.

Cannavaro: “Whoa! Easy Gigi! I saw what you did to Henry…”

.

If you don’t speak Italian, too bad because that is a good one.

.

No comment necessary.

.

Despite all the warnings, Cassano still manages to do his thing. Somebody call the riot police…

.

Can you imagine Italy with two Gattuso’s? Scary, I know…

.

Can someone draw red horns and a pitchfork on Panucci?

.

Nº10 in its glory. Francesco would be proud.

.

It’s a Bird… It’s a Plane… It’s Superman.

.

Call the Vatican. Surely something can be arranged.

.

Buffon must have forgotten about Toulalan…

.

Cassano: “Aha! Take THAT biatches! (feels an itch) Damn are these tight!”
Coupet: “Kill… me… now”

.

Bianco-Rosso-Verde on a black & white background. Not really a pic from the match, but who cares. Bravo to the photographer (or PhotoShop artist, whichever)
