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.

NBA Buffs Anticipate Nowitzki's Copycat

The NBA, just like Hollywood, is flocked with a number of players coming from different countries -- giving diversity to the principal professional basketball league in the world. NBA had no major attraction and solely depended on players' individual and team-based fans as Michael Jordan, called as the greatest basketball player of all time, retired his jersey. There is no leading influence like Jordan who can gather fans all over the world.

With the opening of the new season, NBA buffs will be watching new breeds of players and one of them came from Italy. Italian 7-ft forward Andrea Bargnani, the NBA first draft pick happens to be the first European player to be drafted first overall, is being equated to fellow European player Dirk Nowitzki because of their height and outside shooting competence. Still in my point of view, Bargnani is purely puff and not a player to watch out for even if he plays like Nowitzki. He is too soft for a big man and I'm sure other big men will not take him seriously; so this Italian player must prove to NBA players and buffs that he's not all about puff. If he wants to reach what Nowitzki has reached, this youthful Italian has to work doubly hard because the NBA has no spot for a trying hard copycat.

Yummy Spaghetti and my Early Years

I do not know the explanation that I don't prefer the kitchen and other cooking stuff that much. I can't express if it has something to do with my early years when I got used to my mom cooking for me and for the other members of the family. I can barely retract when my mom cooked spaghetti during my thirteenth birthday and all of my classmates were welcomed to join my party. Realizing how terrific my mom as a cook and how yummy that spaghetti was, they even me if they can take some foods at home.

I was just hooting that time because I didn't know that most of my classmates prefer eating Italian foods like spaghetti. While my mom was preparing for that birthday, I was actually uneasy that my classmates would not be able to value our foods. I was very thankful that they were all gratified and amazed after the party. Thanks to the the spaghetti recipe of my mom that she learned from her Italian chum who inculcate to her when she visited us years ago. I was not startled also when I noticed that there was no more spaghetti left for me because all of them were eaten by my classmates.

Slander and Blasphemy Legalized in Italy

The next time someone calls you a fatherless, you have the right to call him retard, but only if you're in Italy. And if he threatens to charge, get it to court. With luck, you just might be freed, and Win a settlement. In a prominent case in Italy, a man lost and paid a 500-Euro fine after it was disclosed that he was the first to insult the woman whom he was suing. The court decided in favor of the defendant on grounds that she was in fact, eligible to give equal measure after he insulted her tribe.

It's such a shame that after all the struggle done to boost the justice system, we are going back to the Dark Ages to settle disputes. Who knows, no doubt in ten years Italians can be entitled to avenge oneself in advance and get away with it.
