Thanks for such a warm and life-like episode in the continuing Rossi-Hotch "relationship"! Their onscreen chemistry is obviously there - whether interpreted as just close friends or more (I prefer the more) they do make a "cute couple" and it's there in the soccer episode!

P.S. A friend of mine grew up in Cicero and personally knows Joey Mantegna and his wife (who apparently were high school sweethearts) as my friend's younger sister was in the same classes and still keeps in touch with Joey's wife. Says he was always a great guy even in high school. Drat, I grew up in Chicago and some of my best friends were Italian but I didn't meet or date no Joey Manegna!
