World Cup Fever

Posted in Uncategorized at 9:36 am

Tonight is the final game of the 2006 World Cup. Italy v France. In an hour and a half Italians will all be glued to a TV somewhere rooting for the “azzurri.” I’m not much of a sports fan but it is hard to not get caught up in the emotion. If Italy wins tonight, the city will erupt in one huge party.

I read an article online that said that Italy has turned into one big stadium (because so many cities are putting up big screens in the squares for people to watch the game). The same article said that if Italy wins they are expecting a baby boom in nine months!

Italians LOVE soccer.
