World Cup - England or Italy ??
Who u supporting ?? I used to always have a England flag outside my gate but Italy has always been my second team, even when I was a kid. Was amazing being in Italy when they won the world cup, an experience I'll never forget !!
Today we're off to my uncle's bday bbq and will be watching the match with all the family. Hoping to get together with DHs work colleagues, all Italians, for Mondays match.
Here In Liverpool the streets are red and white, especially down by my nans, she lives in the street next to where Gerrard is from and every house is done up !!

Re: World Cup - England or Italy ??
Can i say both? Well would be good to see England win after going 40+ years without winning anything but the fact im in Italy now, being here if Italy won the WC would be memorable, just like what you were saying about 2006.

Re: World Cup - England or Italy ??
We will be buying the Italian tricolor as soon as, it's a difficult one for my sons having an Italian Dad and an English Mum, in the meantime I am flying the flag of St George (in my kitchen, I'm not daft), I was here too for Italy's win in 2006, memorable dancing in the street and flag waving from every car and roof top. I was 16 when England won the World Cup and of course will never forget all the excitement that caused. The only thing that is spoiling the game we're watching at the moment (South Korea v Greece) are those horrible trumpets that sound like a swarm of bees, it's noise pollution imho. Enjoy the game tonight everybody

England. Pure and simple. You can take the girl out of England but you can't take England out of the girl! I would imagine it won't be long before we're hiding our heads in shame though eh.

Going to iron in front of it and with more than my knickers on...! I'll leave that one to Indie to explain if she dares!!!!
Check out the Daily Show interview with the US team by their resident "English" interviewer! Hysterical!! You did all see the match with Czech Republic didn't you??!
Ah well, you can but hope they don't embarrass us!!

What an idiot that goal-keeper of ours is! I only watch football in the World Cup if I can help it.... makes me the perfect armchair critic

Re: World Cup - England or Italy ??
Quite a few houses around me have the flags outside. I got OH a t-shirt from Sainsburys which says "Godfather" on the front and has a piture of Capello on it. Watching it now.
Can I say I support both Italy and England? Much easier to get England flags being in the UK tho
I was in Italy when they won at the last workd cup and that was AMAZING!
Is there a possibility that England and Italy play each other at all?

That is SOO sexist! They like shoes as well! We were good, shoulda won. Not a great tragedy the draw though- I reckon. It'll get us going. Til we lose in the semi. On penalties. To Germany.

Oh and don't forget, to make it complete Rooney would need to be red carded in the game before so he misses the semi...
