Joseph Lanza

Born and raised in Edison, NJ by my Italian family, but I like warm weather so I moved down to Orlando, FL first chance I got. That's where I call my home now.

@_Zeets Nailed it.

@ussoccerfeed He only played in one World Cup. He was more of a character than a player. He scoffed at his college team (Rutgers) in a recent documentary. Criticizes players who achieved more than he did. Yeah, it's real hard to understand why people don't like him.

@dingilusberrius @ussoccerfeed He was literally on the worst team in the Serie-A. To say just because you were playing in the Serie A in the 90s made you a good player is a ridiculous statement. He was nothing special. Sat the bench through the entire 98 World Cup.

@classicshirts @shirt_x @FootballCreatio @thefootballsc Anyone else still have these classic #WorldCup CDs? #Nike

@Capitante_ Interestingly, I believe Totti is the only Italian to ever wear the number 10 at two World Cups (The only two he played in).

[Joseph Lanza @JosephALanza]

@TatticaPassata Very well said! It’s nice to read a reply from someone (like me) who actually watch the careers of these two.

[Joseph Lanza @JosephALanza]

@The_Kitsman Yes they do buy new kits, but not all fan bases. If you go to sports stores they will carry new kits for each season. The quantity is just much less then you might see in the UK.

[Joseph Lanza @JosephALanza]

@iJonniM @Footy_Headlines Actually cheaper. https://t.co/p8VC1L0JqW ran a promo where if you bought 2 Italy jerseys they were only $30 each.

@ten_tele @JuventinaHannah Again, please provide your source. This quote from Pele was from after the tournament. There is nothing to suggest it was specifically about the final and not the whole tournament. He also returned to the National Team well before, and played in 6 qualifiers.

[Joseph Lanza @JosephALanza]

@SerieAScout_ @PatVella18 Even odder is the fact that it’s for every other Euro21. Italy has only done well in the Euros when qualifying didn’t count, which is why they haven’t been to the Olympics since 2008.

[Joseph Lanza @JosephALanza]

@ten_tele @JuventinaHannah Please provide me with the source of that ridiculous “50%” statistic. Brazil was was a pre tournament favorite, here’s a quote from Pele:

[Joseph Lanza @JosephALanza]

@JuventinaHannah Let’s see if they mention how Italy’s semifinal match against Germany was called the “Game of the Century”. They were heroes, but that Brazil team was great.

@The_Kitsman Look again, the middle stripes are off center. Adidas better not make this mistake in production.

[Joseph Lanza @JosephALanza]

@consumertc I wonder if this is from a location inside a theme park, like one of the many that could only sell Coke products.

[Joseph Lanza @JosephALanza]

@Footy_Headlines Am I the only one who notices that the design is off center? Is that on purpose, or just a bad error?

[Joseph Lanza @JosephALanza]

@SelecaoTalk Yeah well, Ronaldo traded shirts with an Italian player in 1994, and he played Zero minutes.

@retroist The twist ending between the ex-spouse and uncle was brutal. (Rip Torn was a great villain)
