Forza Azzurri…

…is the battle cry of Italians everywhere.
I used to love American baseball, but I’ve changed alliances. I’ve been told that if you live in Italy, you’d better like soccer.
I watched Thursday’s European championship semi-finals along with a contingency of German and Italian expats in a café in Sausalito. When Italy won I felt a warm, tingling feeling inside. I think it was pride.
Tomorrow is the meeting with destiny and Spain….
Forza Azzurri!

We’re all dying to know if they can win or not. Let’s see what happens. There will be loads of excitement in this household. We are having a family watch the match do! Forza Azzurri!
A family that cheers together, stays together. The countdown has begun. Got my seat at my favorite Italian cafe……
Heading out to find somewhere predominantly Italian to watch the match tonight! I am in Menton, France but there are lots of Italian restaurants and funnily there are also quite a few Spanish tourists about – it should be quite a clash!! Forza Azurri!!!
Have a great time….remember we have a 50% chance of winning….fingers crossed. Italia!!!!!!!!
Toni!! it’s not whether you win or lose, is it….And just as well! These moments of pride and love for a country, a culture really make it clear who’s side your on. Our inner soccer fan never lies! Jxx
