Italy wins the World Cup - 2006 team tribute

Sep 19, 2009  ·  11 Comments

The national sport of Italy is soccer, and the country is crazy for it. If you’re there during the World Cup, you’ll find televisions everywhere tuned in, with crowds standing around watching.

That includes tourists!  Cafes post signs outside with the times different teams are playing, so that fans of the German, US, Korean, or any other team know when to show up to cheer on their favorites.

But the biggest crowds are for the Italians, and the excitement was never so high as it was in 2006 — a year when the Italian team went on to victory, claiming the World Cup in a thrilling finish.

This video tribute to the 2006 Italian team captures the passion and enthusiasm that Italians have for their favorite sport.
