In some fighting words, the Italian ambassador to the UK also criticised British people for putting pineapple on pizza.
’s coming home’ – you’ve probably heard that roughly 1,000 times or more since the Euros started.The Italian ambassador to the UK has clearly taken that on board – but isn’t keen to get behind the sentiment .The Azzurri will win the Euro 2020 final 2-1 this evening at Wembley against the Three Lions, he predicted.
Of course, it was all good natured and he did acknowledge the special role England had in the game’s development – suggesting that maybe football had several homes. But the ambassador, who will be at Wembley for the kick-off at 8pm, told Times Radio that while football was invented by the English, ‘it’s coming home also if we win, because after all, you know, we have in our palmaris, as we say, four World Cups, already another European cup.
He added: ‘He has been quite impressive I’d say all along the championship, all the different games that he has been playing.’The ambassador also criticised British people for putting pineapple on pizza, joking it ‘is definitely not a Neapolitan, not even Italian way of making and eating the pizza’.
