I’m in a hockey pool, which helps keep me tied into the game, and keeps my hockey fever stoked from afar. But I can’t help but wallow in the fact that I’m 44th out of 55 entrants. Us Italians were never a footballing nation anyway. We focus on football, which is why we’ve won so many World Cups. Oh, wait, I’m thinking of Brazil.
****UPDATE****
I’m now 42nd in the hockey pool, which is still shitty, but since shooting my mouth off about Brazil I’ve discovered that Italy has won 3 world cups, second only to Brazil who has won 5.
