Pictures of the Day : The Italian Team Loves Antonio Cassano and Ukraine’s …
It’s hard not to love Antonio Cassano when his number 1 speciality includes cracking jokes during the most inappropriate of situations. He is a character that the Italian Azzurri would definitely welcome amidst all the controversy in recent weeks, especially as they prepare for their crunch Euro 2012 opener against Spain on Sunday. If Mario Balotelli’s laughing, it’s probably a gem of a joke!
Meanwhile, Ukrainian authorities are planning to wheel out Funtik, a psychic pig in Kyiv when the tournament kicks off on Friday. Funtik’s primary task is to take over Paul the Octopus’ duty and predict all the Euro 2012 games from Matchday 1 to the finals. That’s a lot of pressure for a pig, isn’t it?
