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 !!

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.

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!!

Spose i would back England as my mates are here watching the match right now and would get slaughtered if i put an Italian flag up outside. but i dont really like football much
petrol runs through my veins and football aint fast enough

Well at least I now know I'm not the only person who irons only in their knickers with the fan in front of the ironing board in the summer!

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

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?

Cant watch it as only have satellite freeview tv and it is scrambled....Local'ish bars in town do have big TV's and do big pasta grub when Italy playing...may go and eat, drink and be merry on Monday

Mr Posh

1st of all what are women doing on this thread? if you did not know ladies its about football!!!!

Carry on with the ironing and pasta making

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.

Well, here we are, both in Puglia, and both remember the last time England won (I was 14, nearly 15, so we must have very similar memories). I missed out on being here when Italy won, but my son actually flew in with 3 friends the night of the final - got talking to an Italian on the plane, and ended up watching the final in his apartment in Brindisi before going on to our house. He said is was fantastic, driving from Brindisi to San Vito Dei Normanni with, as you say, all the flag waving from cars etc.

Please don't let it be true this time.

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...
