MY SOCCER TEAMS

No surprises for the reader: my preferred soccer teams are the Azzurri of Italy and S.S.C. Napoli.


Italy is the 2006 World Champion of Soccer! Watch this video on how the Azzurri eliminated Germany in the semifinal:

Napoli has a long history in Italian soccer, and is worldwide famous for

having had Maradona among its players from 1984 to 1993. S.S.C. Napoli won two italian 

titles (1987, 1990), one U.E.F.A. cup (1989) and three Coppa Italia (1962, 1976, 1987).

Watch the sequence of games leading to the first Italian title (1987), in chronological order (from La Domenica Sportiva):

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (Juventus-Napoli 1-3), 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 (Napoli-Juventus 2-1), 17,
