Sheffield isn't a major Western city true, but Montreal? Of course it is!

No offense, Paul, but Sheffield is not a major Western city, neither is Dublin, and neither is Montreal. I see your point about London, but other than that, come on, get real.

I agree with Paul. There are so many Italian people who have emigrated around the world that they and their generations still have deep roots to Italy.

London has a lot of Italians and even has a Little Italy section, just as one example.

Well I live in Sheffield and they were partying all night here, The BBC showed pictures from New York, Los Angeles, London, Dublin, Paris and even Montreal all showing Italians dancing in the streets. They are also have the widest spread of any European nation in regards to immigration.
Apologies for using facts. :)

Well, maybe not *full* ... but enough to make a little noise.

Are Italy doing their usual slow-starter act?

Really? Amsterdam, London, Brussels, Copenhagen, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Berlin, Stockholm, Lisbon, Boston, Los Angeles, etc..all full of Italians, right, ok.

Maybe Chicago and New York, but other than that, sorry, that statement doesn't fly.

Well, every *major* city in the Western world would have its share of Italians living in it, no?

"The sound of car horns blaring could be heard in every major city in the Western world as Italians celebrated a historic win and looked forward to a new golden age of football for their country."

What are you talking about??? The Italians have NEVER been that popular; no one nation is that popular for that matter.

I'm not sure where you get some of your ideas, Paul.

Raymond Domenech is a goal down in a must-win game. Naturally, he takes off Samir Nasri and brings on Jean-Alain Boumsong.

I am just so glad that will be the last we'll see of the freak.

Yup, Romania ended up runner's up back then, but did you really believe Holland would let them breeze through just because they already secured a place? We've got 23 great players, not just 11. Too bad Italy went through, they don't really deserve it, but then, France didn't either. Go Holland.
