Don't care if no one else is interested but I'd like just for the record to note that the Albania manager scored against us 11 years ago today For those who may not remember, this was after the referee controversially awarded a free kick to Italy in the dying minutes, that killed off our chances of Euro 2008. I don't wish any ill will on the guy, but it's hard to feel too sorry for him when referee decisions went against him today. I wondered if that game would even be in his mind but interestingly it features in his wikipedia entry so his career must have benefited from it. "On 17 November 2007, Panucci managed to score his first international goal for Italy since April 2002, when he headed a crucial injury-time winning goal against Scotland in their Euro 2008 qualifying Group Bmatch. Italy then managed to clinch their place at the European Championship finals." In any case, I don't see this as payback for that day. Oh no, nothing less than qualifying for a major tournament by knocking out Italy will do for that!
