God is Italian

Every 12 years Italy wins the world cup.

This is the 12th year and they won again.

Ever since high school my bestfriend and I have rooted for Juventus and then Italy. We loved del Piero coz he was so handsome and played so well—even till now he impresses us still (but honestly more with his skill on the field rather than on his looks—bullsh*t!;) and we remain loyal to our roots, ofcourse. I guess for soccer we all have our reasons why we cheer for specific teams.

Sadly, here in Manila people aren’t so into soccer unlike us back home. They root for England because everybody knows Beckham, they root for France because why would they root for Italy after all when Zidane is in France?? (well, he is dang good! and, I rest my case, Zidane is the best, even at headbutts—ooohhh, that was low! ;p), they root for Brazil because they are well known...but most of them lack the passion, and the understanding of the game—no pun intended. Coz well, the hard truth is that they like basketball more. You will find bigger crowd volume on a UAAP Basketball finals game than you would on a Bush concert…can you actually believe that??

I just wish we could share the same passion we have for soccer to the underpriviledged. Then they will understand why i am willing to lose my job over the biggest sporting event in the world.

It only happens every four years anyway....with 32 BILLION people from all over watching it at the same time.

To all the true-blue Italy fans thanks so much for all your support. Soccer is not just a game for us. It may be just a game to most of you but for us the greatest sport in the world is our lifestyle.
