Some of the Germans wanted the stadium torn down instead of being renovated for this World Cup as well, because of what it represents.

BTW, the Olympic Games of 1936 were awarded to Berlin (over Barcelona) in 1931, two years before the Nazi Party came to power.

I never understood that. I mean first they got the Olympics before the fiasco all started, plus if you bury the past eventully you'll forget it, and then we all knwo waht happens then.

Silly people.

The blue may have historical significance, Italy after all is very young country, it was only unified in the 19th century. Or, and more probably, it was a fashion decision

Nah, and you've probably confused the hell out of him by writing that. You might have to explain it.

its been said in this thread earlier...the lead family of the country (I wanna say Savoy) was represented by the light-medium blue which is prevalent in thier jersies today.

Italy wears blue because it is the color of the House of Savoy.
