I am going to be really pissed if Italy win this final.

---

It's amazing how a multinational event can bring people together. Not just people from different countries, but even people from the same country you'd never see together under normal circumstances. The truck driver and the businessman. The insurance agent and the pest killer. Two lawyers. It gives people something to talk about. Obviously, the English are the best at this - They still go on about 1966, acting like they actually have a chance at every worldcup, and like every year is "England's chance to break out". Why, if they ever win anything beyond the Tiger Cup we'd never hear the end of it. Multiple National Holidays, national Steven Gerrard Day, Frank Lampard Day, Paul Robinson Day, heck, even Owen Hargreaves Day. In addition, the way the EPL is covered in Singapore, it gives Singaporeans the illusion that England is actually a strong favourite to win, so most of them wind up supporting England. The night at John's house actually proved that.

Thankfully, that kind of thing doesn't happen, since England takes penalties about as well as I do pull-ups.
