Tonight I have to watch Italy vs. Ukraine.....and I don't like Italy.......very hard when you are surrounded by Italians....well I will get a nice pizza and stay in the house on my own with a few nice cold beers.
On the other hand, it is apparantly also economically very important for a country to win the WC, so in that sense I do hope Italy wins of course...this country needs some good news.
Gianluca Pessotto a former Juventus player, since one month working in a staff position in the Turin club, tried to commit suicide a few days ago and is still hospitalized and fighting for his life (I wonder what that means in such a situation). Apparantly he couldn't cope with the big responsibility he had now. Several Italian national team players are close friends of this guy, and as you can imagine are quite shocked.
