First
Italian fact: in Italy, we care more about football than anything else.
Here we
are, deep in the economic crisis, almost desperate to find a solution, and yet
for a weekend the world seems to have stopped. It’s been two days since the
final against Spain (that totally deserved to win, by the way) and we are still
talking- or in certain cases crying- about it. With the aid of the media, that
makes it look like the worst tragedy ever, we are all paining because we lost a
stupid football game. Well, so what? We lost a GAME, nobody died, nobody got
hurt. Get over it, Italians… We all need a diversion sometimes, but we are
crossing the line. Please wake up and go back to worry about serious problems. And
God knows we do have much more serious problems. If young people stop envying
Balotelli’s muscles and stop complaining that Italy made such a long way to the
final for nothing, maybe they will start focusing on the new Istat data, which
say that youth unemployment reached 36.2%.
In Italy, football
is the real opium of the people.
