What an asshat.
The comments on the Corriere della Sera website were of three kinds:

20% This is disgusting, he should be rebuked/fined/kicked out of the team.
30% Who cares? His playing count, not his thoughts.
50% Great to see someone who has the courage to say what so many think.

And Germany-Netherlands was great! [And to quote my Hous-y son, Mario Gomez is really good-looking.]
