Soccer: an Italian Passion

Even though Italy has been eliminated from the World Cup competition in South Africa, the passion for the sport is always here! In bars and restaurants there seems to always be a screen with a broadcast of a game somewhere!

Today in the market I noticed that the labels of the Peroni Beer bottles were celebrating Italian soccer victories in pervious World Cup competitions: in France (1938) against Hungary, in Mexico (1978) against Germany, in the USA (1994) against Nigeria, and Germany (2006) against France.
