I must admit\u00a0I’m not a big football fan. However, there is something special about Il Mondiale<\/strong> (The World Cup), and as we don’t have a televisione<\/strong> we usually go round to my parents’ apartment to watch the more interesting partite<\/strong> (matches) with my dad, who is an enthusiastic\u00a0‘couch footballer’.<\/span><\/p>\n
