A Tale of Two World Cup Finalists

Italy vs. France in the 2006 FIFA World Cup Final. V. exciting, but having a hard time deciding which team to support.

Hmmm, let me weigh the pros and Cons:

ITALY
Awesome Contributions to Mankind:

  • Pasta
  • El Pope
  • Setting for Angels & Demons
  • Julius Caesar
  • Civus Romanus
  • Neapolitan ice-cream
  • Mount Vesuvius
  • Only country that looks like a boot

Unfortunate Contributions to Mankind:

  • Mussolini

FRANCE
Awesome Contributions to Mankind:

  • French Fries
  • The Eiffel Tower
  • Setting for Da Vinci Code
  • Enigma
  • Perfume
  • Tour De France

Unfortunate Contributions to Mankind:

  • Napoleon
  • Marquis de Sade (however cool he was, he did give birth to the word sadism)
  • Racist, smelly, pompous people
  • Stray dogs and pigeons
  • Nasty uppity food, ex. escargot, brie and other despicable stuff

I guess this means its Italianoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
