Not only did plenty of support come from the Italian natives, but it also came from us students, who wore jerseys, hats, and even brought flags in order to show our love for the country. Not to mention, we were fortuitous enough to attain front row seats to the game, which was projected onto a flat screen and accompanied by large speakers.
