Mostly ppl from Italy, but also many fans around the world b/c Italy is one of the TOP 5 national teams in the world--along with Brazil, England, Germany, France. (I am talking about best over the last 50 years, consistantly.)

1930 was the inaugurating year of the event and it's host Uruguay was also the first winner. The 1932 competition, first to introduce qualifications, also saw its host win the cup; set in Italy during fascist domination, there was much controversy regarding Mussolini's influence on the referees' decisions that led to Italy's victory. Because many european nations had snubbed the 1930 World Cup, in 1932 Uruguay decided to not participate as a sign of protest. The 1938 games were played in France, where Italy retained it's title of champions of the world. Fearing a european monopoly of the championship, this time both Uruguay and Argentina decided to not show up.

Anyone who supported Italy wanted them to win for sure! But hecks--not me! Germany deserved to win the World Cup, but it didn't happen that way. Oh and I missed that game, sorry dudette.

it is really funny thing for Italy to win the world cup because the real thing they get lucky (( very lucky )) or may be to equilize the number of world cups between the europeans and latins.
it is really strange to see from 1958 to 2006 that the world cup is jumping form latin to europe each 4 years -- first Germany in 58 then Brazil in 62 then England in 66 and again Brazil in 70 and so on ....
and now in World cup in 2010 I think that Argentina will take the cup in order to complete the chain of the jumpig cup

Sorry... i think France should have won they only won the world cup once in 98 and Zidane is just an amazing player and thats a fact you cannot take that away..........the main reason that France lost was because of David Trezeguet he missed the penalty kick, now i bet if Djibril Cisse didnt get injured thatn that would have been him taking that kick and making it in...
