CBC NEWS -WINDSOR – For the second time in eight years, Italy didn’t qualify for the FIFA World Cup. Watching the soccer players run across the big screen at Gennaro’s Café & Coffee Company on Erie Street, just won’t be the same.
It’s a sad start to the World Cup for Windsor’s Luciano Verardi.
For the second time in eight years, Italy didn’t qualify for the FIFA World Cup. Watching the soccer players run across the big screen at Gennaro’s Café & Coffee Company on Erie Street, just won’t be the same, he said.
However, the lifelong soccer fan said he will be rooting for Canada, who did manage to make the cut.
Canada plays its first game Wednesday afternoon.
“I am very upset because at my age to see two World Cups with no Italy makes me sad, but what are you going to do?” said Verardi.
