I have thought about it “long and hard” and decided I will be supporting Italy in Euro2008. Why? Well I could claim it is because of certain player which takes my fancy or the talent of the team… but it is because of the food. Sounds sad I know, but it is a great way of deciding a team to support.
Their fixtures are shown below:
9/6/2008 – v Netherlands @ 20:45
13/6/2008 – v Romania @ 18:00
17/6/2008 – v France @ 20:45
So in true (fake) Italian style I have even learnt the words to their national anthem:
“Italian Brothers,
Italy has awakened,
She has wreathed her head
With the helmet of Scipio.
Where is Victory?
She bows her head to you,
You, whom God created
As the slave of Rome.
Let us band together,
We are ready to die,
(repeat)
Italy has called us.
(repeat previous four lines)
(repeat entire song)”

Who are you supporting? Do you ever care now that England won’t be playing? Let me know.
