I started getting into football in 94 world cup. all the speculation was about italy (baggio and maldini) and brazil (romario and bebeto) back then. I had no preference during that world cup, just watched games here and there. then in the final, i was watching it with all my family and my parents friends (i was 6) and all of the old persian people were rooting for brazil, and no one was going for italy, so i sat in the corner and supported italy for that game, and when they lost i was pissed off. then i didnt follow that much football until 98 world cup, when i bought a wc preview magazine. i first looked in the italy section and for its superstar player profile it had DEL PIERO and he looked really cool (this was when he had long hair and the cool sid-burn thing) I WAS LIKE THIS GUY LOOKS SOO COOL, i want to be his fan. kinda corny. then i saw that his club was juventus so i was like ok. then after the world cup in 99 i got the fifa 99 game and played italian serie a. i would rotate between, inter, ac, and juve, not having a favourite yet, then finally when i started following real serie a in 2001, i found myself rooting for juve for some reason, and then one of my friends became a soccer fan and he began rooting for ac milan, so i was like screw that IM GOING FOR JUVENTUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUVE JUVE JVUE JUVE JVEU FORZA JUVE!
