World Champions

Ever since I was little there is one thing I always wanted to witness, at least once, and that was for Italy to win the world cup. As the time crept closer to the world cup I become more and more disappointed and more weary, thinking that I would just get excited for nothing. Now was I wrong or what!? I had the time of my life when italy finally pulled through. Here in windsor there is a large italian community, so we have our own little itlay. It is something comparable to greek town or mexican town. There were so many people all over erie street (little italy) you were shoulder to shoulder with the people next to you. After they won everyone rushed the street and we started chanting, shouting, dancing, and having an all out good time, all followed by the much hated parade. Every time Italy would win everyone with jerseys, flags and a car would pile into anyones care and we would all drive in a large parage all over the city screaming and yelling, cheering our team on. Im sure everyone in the city can't stand it when we do it, but we just have to! The parade was so large we had windsor police that came out to direct traffic so we would be able to continue in a straight line! Now that I have finally wittnessed a win, I can't wait until the next one!
