I love the mighty Hajduk!! I only like em cos when I was i Croatia I met these lads who were fans and I had my Arsenal shirt on and we ended up swapping shirts. Then the lads took me to a match, I'd love to remember who it was against but I was plastered. I love Croatia, that beer was heavy, started with an O can't remember the name of that either :1970_two_smileys_drinking_beer_together.gif:

Hey me too. Even though, I'm a pretty watered down version. My great great grandfather I believe it was moved over here and married an Irish woman, which then was a big no no. So in order to hide his identity, he shortened his italian last name in order to look more English. So my last name is Vinton, when it should've had something on the end of it.

I'm not really rooting for Italy though.

My grandfather was born in Brooklyn NY as, Peppino Raffaele DeMartino. I knew him as Joseph Ralph Peroli. Not sure how the last name got changed, never even knew it was changed till after my grandfather died and we saw his birth certificate. But anyway I'm about 80% Italian. My father is 100% and my mother has is about 60%ish or something. Don't speak much Italian though because the only time I was ever exposed to that was when we would go to the club downtown.

As for the national team... I don't really care all that much, but they're who I am supporting since they are the only nation that I have any connection to at all. I just hope to see some quality matches.

Even though I was elated with their qualifying flop, I am going to miss England at Euro 2008. Part of the fun of an international tournament is the excessive hype about the Three Lions beforehand, followed by England scraping through to the quarter-finals before losing on penalties to Portugal, followed by a big mad inquest on 5 Live, Talksport, Football Focus and in all the papers.

I think Germany have an excellent chance of winning the tournament but I wouldn't be surprised if Italy pulled off a World/European double.
