sono americano

world cup 2002 remembered:

italy vs. south korea. quarterfinals. everyone leaves work/school to watch the match. i'm at a bar in orvieto, italy with some of my classmates. the game goes into overtime. everyone is nervous. italy scores three times, but each one gets called back for offsides (that year, world cup was in korea and japan...rigged? maybe). everyone is pissed. somehow, the south koreans finally score a goal and the game is over. everyone is furious. AT ME. I scream, "sono americano, sono americano!"

even italians think we all look the same. heh.
