Big Soccer Game tonight in the semi finals of the#ConfederationsCup 2013 - a great contest of skills between #Italyand #Spain! Who are you cheering for?
It was always a source of pure laughter, when I first arrived in Italy.
The only time that you would see them waving their flag high and with pride - was when the Italian National Soccer Team was on the field.
In the United States the flag is a strong symbol and one that the population holds onto very strongly. In fact, the States wave their flag for lots of reason - and sports may or may not be on the list.
For this reason, I always found it amusing that the national spirit of a country with SO much spirit was most evident during the World Cup and the Confederation Cup - throw in a couple of races with the Ferrari and the list is just about complete.
Want to show your true colors - pick up an authentic Italian Soccer Team Jersey from Pierotucc.com

Did U Know this about that? (VESPA)
Did U Know? In 1946, after WWII and the total destruction of their fighter plane factory, the #Piaggio family decided to leave the aeronautical field and address Italy's urgent need for a modern and affordable mode of transportation for the masses. Thus was born the idea of the #VESPA.
