Will history be made tonight? It's estimated that over a BILLION people will be watching the finals of the World Cup all over the globe.
Inquiring minds want to know...
- Why does Italy play in blue and are called the "Azzurri" when the flag is green, white and red?
- Will Italy win the finals for the first time since 1982?
- Have they been working hard enough? (New cute commercial from Fiat featuring the team!)
- Or will the Azzurri choke on the penalty round, like usual?
- Will busses be overturned in the aftermath? Trains assaulted? People - God forbid! - killed?
- And last but certainly not least, will Dale continue to indulge his newly-discovered inner European as a die-hard Italian soccer fan?!
These mysteries and others will be answered only at 8 pm, Central European Time (or 1:30 pm Eastern US Time)! Don't miss it!!!!!!!!!!!

What was the reaction in Venice to the joyous news? Overturned gondolas? Watertaxis burning off the shoulder of Orion?
Ah, yes... after a game which was applauded by all as being so sportsmanlike, world soccer superstar Zidane seems to have just lost, well, his head in his last game before his retirement.
"He told me Materazzi said something very serious to him but he wouldn't tell me what," agent Alain Migliaccio told BBC Five Live Sport. The BBC continued,
"Sources in France say it is believed Materazzi insulted Zidane's family."
See the whole incident (without the offending line, whatever it was) on video here on YouTube.
