Today is Thanksgiving in the US, and we've decided, like most Americans will do, to go around our Offside round table and list some things we're thankful for.

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.
