The world cup experience

Mid-dehera t-Taljani jaslu sal-finali tat-tazza tad-dinja kull tnax-il sena. Din l-istatistika tgħid ħafna dwar kemm qed jitgerbeb iż-żmien minn fuqi. Il-bieraħ kienet it-tielet finali li rajt lit-Taljani jilagħbu. Fl-82 kont G'Mangia, fid-dar ta' xi ħbieb tal-ġenituri li kellhom reception tat-televixxin tajjeb (araw hawn dwar ir-reception tat-televixxin fis-snin tmenin). Fin-94 naħseb (nenfasizza l-kelma "naħseb") li kont ir-Renos Bar, Tas-Sliema, mal-ħbieb. M'għandix tifkiriet ċari ta' dak il-werld kapp. U fl-2006 kont it-Tube ġewwa Lussemburgu, l-uniku partitarju "Taljan" ġo bar mimli Franċiżi. Tant hu hekk li xi nies (li dwarhom tkellimt fil-bloggata ta' qabel) ħasbuni Taljan ta' vera u jiena ma ppruvajtx inbiddlilhom il-fehma...
