DocRKS Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Well - it took the Azzuri 120 minutes to finally put away Germany 2-0 on two really beautiful goals in the 119th minute. Italia looked like they fell asleep in the 2nd Half - but then came out in the OT and hit the Post and then the Crossbar within minutes of each other in the OT and once again gave me hope. I almost got the feeling Germany was playing (hoping) for this match to go to PKs - as their record in winning Penalty Kick games is an unblemished 4-0...while Italy has never won a World Cup Game they were in that was decided on Penalty Kicks.....their record being 0-3. So - does anyone here wish to wager against Italia with a nice 3 pak of Habana smokes (minimum of Churchill size sticks). I'll put up that stake backing Italy regardless of whether it is France (ugh) or Portugal (I LOVE Port with a cigar so I have to root for them in tomorrow's semi-final) against Italy in the Final. Anyone up for a friendly wager on this friendly board????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"FORZA AZZURI !!!!!!" aka "Go ITALIA !!!!" personally, I am hoping that Portugal makes it into the finals by beating FRA today........anyone but the French...... though in perfect honesty - they played a BEAUTIFUL match against Brasil.

As was posted on this Forum - all packages that I know of were in fact received....One of the receipients of some of our packages was injured when an IED went off as they were attempting to secure an area. He is scheduled to return to the USA for back surgery in a matter of days. He does not have email or internet access at his present location - all my communication with him has been via cell phone only.... Be assured however that even if no confirmation was received - your act of kindness is appreciated beyond words by the many soldiers who all received cigars were distributed to.

DocRKS Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 Well we are down to the Final Match of the 2006 World Cup...... Very nice game today as the Germans beat Portugal 3-1 - I confess that prior to the start of the games - I did not see Germany getting this far and winning 3rd place - they PEAKED at the absolute perfect time...... So now - in less than 24 hours - I hope to see Team Italia hoisting the FIFA World Cup in Victory ------ I then (hopefully) will be contacting my 2 'French backing opponents' with the addy I would like my winnings sent to !!! FORZA AZZURRI !!!!!!!!!!! Go Team Italy !!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRKS Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 Quick note acknowledging receipt of a MOST generous package of Churchill sized beauties from GEHRIG24 !!!!! Bro. Matt (who backed the French vs my World Champion Azzurri!!!) could have satisfied his wager obligation with 3 Habana Cigars - and he sent 2 aged RyJ Churchills and an awesome Sir Winnie !!!! However - even though this was not part of our bet - he very generously adds in 2 more Churchill sized sticks - ERDM Taino and a GORGEOUS LGC !!!!!!!! This was certainly not necessary -- but remains VERY appreciated...... Talk about above and beyond ---- Kudos to you Matt ---- Thanks for participating in this friendly wager and for the way you handled your end of the bet - Now I only have to track down this other guy who backed the French - some guy named Rob !!! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
