Default Forza Italia!

I'm actually pumped to watch this match. Hopefully, the Azzurri will get their 4th World Cup title.

I realize there are some here who will root for France over Italy - and that's ok, I suppose - but once again, the Simpson's shows us why most of the world will be pulling for France:

Hank Scorpio: By the way, Homer, what's your least favorite country: Italy or France?

Homer: France.

Hank Scorpio: (chuckles) Nobody ever says Italy.

Was that the Italian National Anthem or the Pet Shop Boys? No offense intended.

No offense taken. We'll just chalk it up to good ol' American attitude.

And Archaea is correct - Cokes are on me. (No Pepsi - I only buy caffeine that comes in a red can.)

It was a serious question, was the the Pet Shop Boys or the anthem, cause it sounded exactly like "Go West" to me.

It was the national anthem of Italy - "Il Canzone d'Italiani" aka "Frattelli d'Italia". It's actually a great anthem.

BTW - I love the Pet Shop Boys. "Go West" is a great song too.

Good match, although Italy seemed lethargic the whole second half and during the overtime periods. Paris is subdued today, people talking about the match and wondering what was said to set off their beloved Zizou.

While we were joyous in our household, my youngest ended up crying himself to sleep over sympathy for the French. I've got to get that kid out of here.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion.

Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
