South Philly for Italia
Salvatore Frank Fasano, aka Sal Fasano of the Fightin' Phils, was asked yesterday, after another loss, a shellaccing by Tampa Bay (loss #5 in a row for those following the downward spiral of the Phillies as managed by Charlie "English is not my Mother Tongue..Spanish neither" Manuel) as to today's USA-Italia World Cup match. Mr. Fasano, born in the heartland of USA (Chicago, IL) and wearing a pulled over-his-eyes woolie with Italia emblazoned on the front, went into a long spiel as to how he's followed the World Cup for years. Aside from being well-spoken in general, he actually knew his football stuff. (Dave O'Brien better watch out.) He was doing quite well on dribbling through the pointed questions. Finally, the interviewer posed, "O.K. Sal. Who are you cheering for? Italy? Or USA?
"Well, being my parents, from whom I was born, are from the old country, my heart's with Italia. I hope that team USA somehow makes it to the next round, but they really got a raw deal being in the group they were." He then launched into quite a nice little analysis of the group, the players, and FIFA in general.
So, Sal's for Italy. I'll go with him, the adapted son of South Philly. Italia 3-0.
