              Milan99, it is crazy to have a sister who supports inter.she drives me crazy. She had a poster on the refrigerator with forza inter and the 16th scudetto when the whole family is Milanista. But the derby victory was sweet. Poor thing she was crying the whole day. We taught her right from wrong yet she chose the wrong path, I pray for her hahahhah.

                        Nina i agree, Anna is quite a character but so do you, Kenntak, milan99, our Romanista Suri and even the interista Mark. A family Italian fans soccer blog, i love it.

                        Anna i noticed you include it the link for the national anthem. Good idea because people look for the anthem and seeing la nazionale singing with the fans plus the lyrics, what else can they ask? Brava Anna.

                        Man, i am telling you guys, this blog is my number one source for my Italia. We all put our input and is fantastico.

                          Though, right now what matters is ITALIA to win the UEFA EURO 2008 and for Milan to win the Scudetto next year.
