FOR CICCI--世界盃完全交戰手冊

Cicci asked me to write in English. She said otherwise she wouldn't have a clue

what I was talking about. Anyway, I guess it will be a good idea to learn some

Italian as well since I am supporting Italy now. I know many friends are supporting

Italy, so let's learn some Italian and on this Sunday final game, we can all shout,

swear, and cheer in Italian.





So, firstly, if you want to say Totti 加油，or Totti 快快快， you will have to say

"Vai vai, Totti" or "Dai dai, Totti."



If unfortunatley, there is no one in front of the goal to score and you are very angry,

you may want to say something like, my grandfather is always ready in front of the goal

keeper to score the goal, which means 我阿公都已經等在那邊進球了噎。

這句話可以在空檔的時候，球員跑太慢來不及進攻的時候說喔！





"c'e' mio nonno davanti alla porta."











And, if you want to say to your friends like, Cannavora is very handsome or Totti

is very good looking.如果要說Totti怎麼這麼帥，或是說，Cannavora會不會太好看，



you say,"che figo!!!!!"





Of course, when you meet your friends in the pub before the match starts, you will

have to say this in a very proud way.



"vinceremo" which means "We are going to win."







Some additional useful sentences and phrases you may find it very handy when

watching the game.





"tira quella cazzo di palla" ===== kick the fucking ball.



"arbitro cornuto"===========you say this when you find the referee is unfair

and remember you are very angry so you say this to mean that

"you(the referee) have horns" which means that

"your wife (the referee's wife') is cheating on you."

這一段比較難，意思是說，如果裁判的判決讓妳很不服氣，妳可以說，

你頭上長角喔，意思是說你老婆在偷人喔，你帶綠帽喔！







and then, if you want to say to Buffon, to catch the fucking ball,

you will have to yeild to him and say : para!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!







well, after taking my first italian lesson, I am very conviced that

italians are very passionate. Just look at how many swearing words

they have. hahaha....





now, some nicknames of the footballers.





del Piero is "pinturicchio."



Totti is "er pupone" which means "big baby" in Rome dialect.



Gattuso is "ringhio" which means "bulldog."







---------------------------------------------------------













It's sad that I cannot watch the final with Cristina and Vanessa.

As they said, I am Italy's lucky star, every time I watched with them,

Italy always won.







Dont worry cicci, I will watch the game on Sunday night.

And we will celebrate when I come back!!!!







Viva Italia!!!!!!!!!!!!!
