Tonight Roma plays Juventus in the quarter finals of the Coppa Italia (As i write this it is 2-0 Juve in the 76'). The game started just as we sat down for dinner. I knew Maria Luisa liked soccer; she always had the Roma games on. But every time she heard a roar from the TV (it wasn't in view from the table) she was up in front of the television. I haven't even seen that kind of love for a team from the crazies back home. Soccer is bigger than just a sport over here, it's ingrained in the lives of every Italian.
Update: 90' Juve scores to make it 3-0 and Maria Luisa is yelling at the TV. I <3 this woman. (yes I just did that, get over it)
Sidenote: Gaetanno has FIFA on PS3 and has challenged me to a game. Its on.
