WHAT WILL IAMTHA1 DO IF ITALY PLAY AUSTRALIA ?
(yeah I know... the white text below doesn't stand out much)
AUSTRALIA
OR...
ITALY
On one hand we have Italy. The European landmass that brought us such fine things as pizza, Rome, Pavarotti and
gruppa - or however else you spell that strange homemade Italian wine.
Her extended family reside there (maybe). They grow olives. Russel Crowe was once in a movie staged there. One great scene had him fighting lions in a little-known tucked away landmark one can find if you have Italian friends "in the know"....
Locals call it the
coliseum.
(pronounced "cough-liue-sea" the 'um' is silent)
Others call it the "Vatican". An easy mistake to make since both are "things you look at".
On the other hand we have Australia. The true home country. The place where iamtha1 was born (maybe), has grown (maybe) and lived for all of her 16.5 years (maybe).
The land of kangaroos and bush tucker. Ernie Dingo, hearts of gold and plucky 'can-do' spirits.
A place where "soccer" was admittedly thought of as a bit of a nancy Eurosport (much like other famed European games such as
"Frisbee", "Fly Fishing" and "
War"), up until.... well.....roughly
three weeks ago.
The previously mentioned AwesomeScene which presented a scrawny mean toothy lion fighting a dinky di Aussie battler Russel Crowe
(new zealand is close enough) in a stadium could not make for a more apt metaphor for the hopefully upcoming italy VS australia match.
How can one choose between the two great nations?
Easy.
Just glance over the unbias images below
Pick wisely young digger Nay. I know you will make a true blue decision. Onya.
