I would like to see Italia win, because it seems we are always the bridesmaids, but never the bride. It has been a long time coming, and I think Italia is due.

It's been such a long time coming that Italy has walked away with the cup in hand. They have managed to play a phenomenal series despite all the talk about the scandal back home. It seems this time they are playing more for pride than just winning...they have a solid line-up...Sunday will prove to be a very interesting game...and fingers crossed the Azzurri come out on top...forza Italia!
