‘Member? There’s No Going Dutch In Soccer: Italy Pays Dearly.

Whas Happened In Sports Last Night

• Euro 2008: Italy allowed two goals throughout the entire 2006 World Cup tournament. Yesterday, they allowed two goals in five minutes, albeit one was the equivalent of a foul ball in baseball being called a homerun. Is this the end of the Italian side in Euro action? Prego. Netherlands 3, Italy 0. [Telegraph]
• MLB 2008: Ken Griffey Jr. is among the greats for good. He sent a towering drive into the stands yesterday for the 600th time in his career. How many times did you try and emulate his left-handed swing when you were younger? Cincinnati 9, Florida 4. [LA Times]
• Euro 2008: The group of death stunned us with Italy’s loss, but France and Romania bored us enough that we began to watch “People’s Court.” How did Frank Ribery not scare the ball into the net? No one knows. France 0, Romania 0. [ESPN]
