Soccer fever’s coming on strong this week. Today I found myself watching a (few) 10 minute highlight reels of Italy in the 2006 World cup.
I sat there totally glued to the screen as if I was watching it for the first time – feet kicking excitedly under my desk & totally smiling from ear to ear. Summer 2006 came flooding back, all those tense game watches in lil cafes and bars in Little Italy, Italian flags everywhere on Collage street, the all-day car honk celebrations and the pride/amazement of watching my team win game after game…
Definitely counting down the days to Italy’s first match on the 14th.
It’s hard to beat a World Cup summer…
Also, while googling ‘Team Italy’ for some shots for the blog, I ran accross this lil team Italy pic. Greasy…
Me like!! Lol
