in Bocca al Lupo

As the first-born, first-generation American son of an Italian immigrant, it is incumbent upon me to comment on the extraordinary success of the Azzurri! I cannot remember the last time I witnessed such a dominant defensive combination as Fabio Cannavaro and Gianluigi Buffon. Their performance was truly a pleasure to behold from the friendly confines of our local pizzeria here in the dirty jers.
