Guys, did you notice Roman gladiator Daniele De Rossi and Fabio Grosso not getting so close to the little lion?   Better be cautius....   LOL.. I love DE ROSSIIIIII my Roman gladiator!!! Love also seeing  Nicola Legrottaglie here and Luca Toni.



Photo timeeeeee  just love it!!! See our Azzurri taking photos of the lion with their CELLULARRSSSS... talking about being "modern." what a blast! 



The guy of the moment "Forward Giuseppe Rossi" gaiig more funs in South Africa.  Pose baby....
What a magic moment for Rossi scoring 2 goals against the United States where he was born.  Yet, his heart is for Italy whenever football is involved.



Hey, awesome... look at Italy and AC Milan defender Gianluca Zambrotta getting a super close up from the lion.... why not getting it as a puppy LOL.

Oh my gosh, is Italy head Coach Marcello Lippi trying to convicne the giraffe to be a defender for the Azzurri?????

This is really awesome....  Giuseppe Rossi posing like a young kid next to a "baby lion".....



The "baby lion" gets mad and Rossi just stands up  saying "Ok, I am leaving... "  cool  bro!!!!
