Lead From The Front: You're A Fool If You Think Italy's Soccer Reporters Are Nervous About Them Being Drawn Into Euro 2024's 'Group Of Death'

That is Tanya La Gatta. Everyone say hi to Tanya. Now, this is important because it's yet another entrant into the Italian soccer TV reporter Royal Rumble. We already know about Diletta Leotta and Giusy Meloni, but in case you missed those blogs, say hi to Diletta and Giusy

Shame on me for ever thinking this could only be a 2-person race. We're talking about the proud history of Italian soccer here. Sure, they haven't made the last couple World Cups, but they won the last Euros. They have the awesome blue jerseys. They had Buffon singing the hell out of the anthem on TV every match. 

Speaking of which, it's where we tie in some sports here. Italy got drawn into the group of death for next year's Euro. 

Nothing easy coming out of a group with Spain, Croatia and Albania. But do they look scared? No they are leading from the front. They are going about their business because they know of Italy's history in the event. At least that's what I assume. That's why I decided to check their Instagrams. Had to make sure the country was acting calmly and doing things like showing up for work or taking a vacation. Can't be panicking about next year when we still have the holidays to get through. Good to know they are showing the rest of the country how to act. Like you're the reigning champs.

Rarely do we get the triple who ya got, but my hands are tied here. I'm starting to think the only person who can upstage them is our beloved Christian Pulisic who has Italian announcers screaming about the USA 

So congrats to Tanya La Gatta. Ain't nothing wrong with being the 3rd entrant, 3 is a lucky number. Fitting since Italy is going for their 3rd Euro title.
