Italy once again "Car Ball" Champion

[Tender Branson]

Yesterday, Giovanni Zarrella has defeated Stefan Raab (Germany) by 2:1 in the final and Italy has won the European Championship after already winning the World Championship in 2010.



Here is the video of the Final:

Congratulations, Phil ...

I forgot to mention that Germany is the defending Euro-Champion from 2008.

Then Italy won the World Championship in 2010.

Link doesn't work for me from work...is this where you play soccer in cars with a giant ball like on that one episode of Top Gear?  Looks like tons of fun if it is.

Maybe this television stuff only works in Germany/Austria/Switzerland (or Europe).

PS: Yeah, they are driving in cars and have to score goals, using a big ballon-like ball.

Clearly the English guy threw that first match.

Seems like it would be more fun with more than one car (at least that's how they did it on Top Gear).


(and my new co-worker, who has an Austrian wife, heard the excited German announcer and wondered what the hell I was watching)
