Let the games begin...

With the WC about to kick off (literally) in a few hours time, I am all geared up for late night TV and pizza! As usual rooting for Italy (of course!) hoping for a second successive crown (might be a bit too much to ask though) so if the Dutch or the English win, I would still be happy - relatively. :)

FORZA ITALIA!
