A mix of Italian and Swedish. Djurgården is a Football (soccer you Yanks call it) and Ice hockey team.

More usually it's Forza Azzuri! Roughly translated it's "Let's Go Rangers" if you're a NY hockey fan.

An Italian girl spent about 20 minutes telling me how Forza could not be translated into English. After that I realized how easy it is for an Italian to write an opera; when you have that much passion and descriptive power to explain the symbolic and poetic attributes of word roughly translated as "go," how could you not :)

Yes, he stole us also the capability to incite our national players shouting "Forza Italia"..... We now have to say "Forza Azzurri" (Azzurro is the colour of our shirts, light blue).

However, literally "Forza" means "Strength", but in these cases it can be translated as incitement, like "Let's go!"

Somehow this reminds me of the credits to "Reign of Terror" a RTS made by some obscure Swedish company, which included a Special Thanks to Ingvar Carlson :cool:

Thanks for that I had always thought that Azzurri was something specific about the national team, but it's just a colour? I'm :eek:o

it's like Pkunzipper said, they call it the "Azzurra", because they have light blue shirts -> Azzurro = Light Blue. Plain simple. :D
When you want to give strenght to the italian national team, you shout: "¡¡¡Forza Azzurra!!!"... :D

No, I think it's "Lega Nord" - "Northern League".

But "Forza Italia" might be their slogan, tho' ;)
