"I've left De Rossi to boil in his own soup. He's a fantastic guy but he must change his computer chip"

BBC SPORT | Football | World Cup 2006 | Teams | Italy | De Rossi explains elbow to Fifa:

Both the Guardian and the BBC have done a pretty fine job reporting the world Cup on the internet. Though sometimes the stress on the translators begins to tell. I love this quote from the Italian coach, Macello Lippi on the BBC football site:

I've left De Rossi to boil in his own soup. He's a fantastic guy but he must change his computer chip
