Happy Tacchino-Day!

Happy Thanksgiving (or Tacchino Day) to all the Italy Offside readers! Enjoy your day and eat lots of food! I tried to find a picture of an Italian turkey, this the best I could do (or google image search could do), a turkey with the Italian name for turkey next to it.

This now leads me to my bad Italian calcio Thanksgiving joke:

Which Italian soccer player’s favorite holiday is Thanksgiving? (answer after the jump)

Alessio Tacchinardi! Get it? Tacchino, Tacchinardi? I’m sorry I know it was terrible.

By the way if you get bored today during Thanksgiving dinner and don’t want to watch/don’t like the NFL, two Italian clubs are in action in the UEFA Cup and both are very interesting games:

Milan are in England and take on Portsmouth at Fratton Park.

Sampdoria take on Bundesliga side Stuttgart at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

Both should be very interesting but they won’t be on tv so you’ll have to get a stream.
