 The
traditional jersey color of the national team (as well as of
all Italian teams and athletes, except in motor
sports) is sky blue (azzurro, in Italian), and
therefore national team members are nicknamed Azzurri.
Sky blue was the color of the Royal House of the Kingdom of
Italy. In its first match, the Italian national team wore
white shirts with shorts from the club of each player; the
sky blue shirts were introduced in the following match.

You may also know that football, or in the
U.S. it is called soccer, has become the most popular sport in the world
now. Every four years FIFA held the FIFA World Cup participated by
hundreds of countries around the world. The final round of FIFA World
Cup 2006 is the world most watched sport event, viewed by more than a
billion people either directly in the stadiums in Germany or through TV.
When I began to write these letters on
June 21, 2006 there were still 16 teams of different countries having
their matches, and there were some favorite teams that people wish to
win, like Germany, Argentine, France, England, Italy, Netherland,
Brazil.
I was choosing the blue color for the frame
of these letters without thinking about which two teams would reach the
final match. Later on, one by one most of the teams were tumbling, and
only two of them left to meet in the finale, France and Italy. And both
of them known as having the nick name related with blue color,
France "les bleus" or "the blues", and Italian "Azzurri"
or "blue prince".
So what could be the message about this.

astronomical terms, at least -- of crashing into the Earth
early on July 2.

An asteroid has missed its collision with
earth on July2, 2006.
According to the news, US scientists have
said an asteroid hurtling through space came within a hair's breadth --
in astronomical terms, at least -- of crashing into the Earth.
Like reflecting the "closing the window of
disaster", hopefully it would followed by other failures of other huge
disasters.
