SportsFilter: The Wednesday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Am I weird that every time I hear or read his name I sing "Ciro Immobile" to the tune of "La Donna e Mobile" to myself, and I wish someone would rewrite the rest of the song?

Not weird at all, I do the same thing. Except I don't get very far with the rewrite.
Wait, I said you're not weird because I do it. Okay, maybe it's that we're both weird. I'm willing to accept that possible interpretation.
I've been waiting for someone to spontaneously replace "Messi Messi Messi Messi Messi Messi!!!" with "Verdi Verdi Verdi Verdi Verdi Verdi!!!".
It won't be Ray Hudson. I think he's still hung up on Bernini.

England makes a major tournament finale.
The Toronto/Montreal Stanley Cup streak is broken.
I...I just don't know how to handle these momentous historical anomalies...

Tampa has forever doomed their chances at another Stanley Cup championship. You just don't go around screwing with history like that

Not to be outdone by Spain's use of Olmo as a false nine, Italy comfortably employed Chiellini as a true Immobile.
