Croatia in 1998, I had just turned 11, and I was only a casual fan of football, until I saw their amazing run in that World Cup, and I became a football fan for life!!! Oh, and by the way, France's victory in 1998 was terrific! When Petit finished off Brazil in the last minutes making it 3-0, that was the best finale I have ever seen!

I've always loved soccer, I use to play as a child.
There is no particular team that got me hooked it's just in my blood..LOL
As you know my team is Italy but doesn't mean that I love soccer because of a certain team!

Probably Pele in 1970, although soccer took a back seat always to the "major" American sports for decades. Nowadays it is on an equal par with my favorite American sports. The World Cup is something I always look forward to, especially the Brasilian team, but it has been nice to see the USA developing as well.

i got my first glimpse of the WC in '94. my older brothers played football in school and my dad was a fan so WC was always a major event at home. They were always so excited, screaming, jumping up and down and cussing that i got curious and would hang around to watch for a bit. but i was only a teener then so all i liked was the pitch, how green it looked, and the players' uniforms which i thought were neat, lol. but '98 came around and i was older and could appreciate the game more. the first match i really watched throughout was argentina v. england, staying only at first 'cuz i thought beckham was cute, i was an impressionable 18, lol. but then the game really got underway and it was so exciting, so full of drama (becks got sent out ) that it got me hooked. after that, i saw brazil vs. denmark and that's where i found my team for life : ).

When I was 18 months old... Dad took me to see the Stadio Del Alpi on our trip to Italy, France and Croatia - since then he taught me too love and appreciate the game not necessarily a team, but my favourite has to be Juventus!!

Sporting lisbon, i must have been about 2 or 3 years old. The barber my parents use to take me for a hair cut was a big Sporting fan, he had many posters of the club and i became attracted to the green and white.

I have watched and liked soccer for a long, long time. However, it was Euro 2004 (Portugal v. Greece) that really got me hooked!

Italy vs France
i never liked soccer before but that game was so intresting . it had fights ( well sort of ), yellow cards and red cards, it had amazing saves, and i was on my feet when they were doing the pressure-packed penalty kick shootout
GO ITALIA!
