Press Conference

Now that the happiest of times have started to mellow a bit and the last of the fire works from the Olympiastadion have settled down, we at Azzurri Dreams called this press conference to quash any rumors on our prolonged hiatus from reporting the news that our growing readership painstakingly had to deal without for nearly four months.

I repeat, nothing vicious was ever said about Feyenoord's mother or sister let alone his younger brother. He never labeled me a dirty terrosist. In jest we might have kidded about swapping girlfriends in all honesty but who does not during thesemoments of crisis as our teams ascended towards the finals. Azzurri Dreams was requested from sources that cannot be named to drop the reporting on the World Cup. We were not paid off with a bribe, our phones were not tapped. But we were kindly reminded that our commentary on the game was not needed for a short while by the footballing powers that secretly control the game.

We have not received access to the deluge of emails that were sent to us during this great World Cup and we regret that we cannot respond to all of you. Thus, at the advisement of our legal counsel, we simply say that we are back to doing what we love to do at Azzurri Dreams--reporting on the beautiful game with a glance towards what might be happening next in the great leagues across Europe. As we have all learned, during the past four weeks, dreams do in fact come true. Our growing readership now knows that since we are back live.
