I know it something to do with the excitement of the pending competition, but I was wondering if anyone could give me a more physiology related explaination.

In response to the "fight or flight" stimuli, adrenaline shoots through your system to deliver more blood to your muscles (so you can either run or fight), and takes it away from organs you don't need at that moment (digestive system along with salivary glands). So the saliva production is decreased, giving you a dry mouth.

Germans aren't angels themselves. I remember Beckbauer blabbering during the World Cup about England. Anyways, what Italians are trying is to get a psychological edge over the probably the strongest team in the Euro's.

most everyone still has the original 'fight or flight' response when they get nervous, it's an old set of responses designed for when we were more primitive and literally had to fight or flee in a dangerous situation. one of the symptoms is that the body will try to eliminate fluids, to make it lighter, easier to run, etc. i don't know if getting a dry mouth has something to do with that, but it might. it has to somehow facilitate the fight or flight response.
