So, at the moment there is the EURO 2012 going on, football practically every night. Italy passed second in their group and since England passed first in their group, these two groups will be facing each other on Sunday. This means that next Sunday, in Malta, it is going to be like World War II, with people shouting at each other for being so stupid for supporting Italy, if the supporters are English or vice versa.
For someone who was not brought up in this country, it may sound crazy, and well indeed it is, but for someone who has, well supporting Italy or England was something we were brought up doing. Maltese football team never made it to such cups, and so people always found the need to support other teams to get that feeling, that buzz, during such events. After yesterday, when it was official that England will be playing Italy, all you could see on facebook, was comments like, "We're coming to get you", "Prepare to go home", or something like the below.
Needless to say, the supporters of the team that looses on Sunday, will be made to suffer poorly, and the result of this game will be talked about for the century to come. In future games, even when England and Italy won't be facing each other, people will just say, "Don't you remember Sunday 24th, where you lost to us".... hahaha hilarious... will be fun to see. ON MY PART.... OHHH WELL I HOPE ITALY WINS :)
P.S. Against all odds... Italy did win against England... it also won against Germany and now is heading to the final against SPAIN...
