Achieving the Most Impressive World Cup

Two European teams were left, both were seeking glory for their own homeland, both wanted to become the paramount in the world; still, only one could bring home the elusive trophy, the money, and pride at stake in the competition. All these were secured by one auspicious group of athletes, the Italian National Football Team.

Barely a month ago, the whole world was waiting for the end result of the crucial 2006 World Cup championship game between two equally-great teams, France and Italy, that was held in Germany. After the battle, Italy surfaced as the conqueror via a 5-3 penalty shoot-out to win the much-coveted and most prestigious sporting event in the world which only happens every four years.

However, Italy's win would not be possible if they lose in the semifinals against the hard-hitting and highly-supported German football team who obviously had the home court advantage. Still, Italy went on with the competition and reigned in the end setting a finals match against Zidane-led team. The accomplishment gave the country its fourth World Cup honor making Italy the second best team, next to Brazil with five championships.

But settling for the best is not enough, the team desires to continue its legacy of terrific football skills; so expect more from them.
