Italy and England will meet in the final of the European Football Championship on Sunday evening.
The game will be watched by many football fans, and fans in Tölzer Land are also cheering for their favorites.
Bad Tölz / Bad Heilbrunn - The courier asked Italy and England fans how they think the game will end and how they want to celebrate the victory of "their" team.
"England is good too, but I think Italy will win," says Rocco Angelillo, junior manager of the Ristorante Milano in Bad Tölz.
“My guess is that it will be 1-0 for Italy after extra time.
Maybe there will be a penalty shoot-out, but we have a good goalkeeper. ”Angelillo wants to watch the game in his own place.
“We close at nine on Sunday evening.
The whole crew then looks together. ”Once a year on such an occasion, it can be done.
"If Italy wins, we'll have a glass of wine, or maybe two."
"It will be a difficult game"
Luca Lento, owner of the Pizzeria Da Luca in Bad Heilbrunn, has a clear idea of the final score on Sunday.
"Clearly, it will be a victory for Italy." Italy should win 3-0, without penalties if it was up to them.
“I wish that it would be over after 90 minutes, but it will be a difficult game.” Lento watches the game in his own restaurant, where he has a large TV.
"And if Italy wins, I'll spend as many rounds as there are goals for Italy."

Angelo Cannata, owner of the Tölzer Café Heimat, also has a good feeling for an Italy victory.
“I think they'll do pretty well.
I think it will be 2-1 for Italy. ”Cannata, who lives in Bad Tölz, wants to watch the game at home if he makes it.
“If not, I'll be sure to hear it when we win.
We're Italians, we're always loud. ”On the other hand, Cannata wants to celebrate the hoped-for victory for Italy rather cautiously.
"I'm more of a quiet person, we might toast, but nothing special is planned."

Michaela Schamberger, who lived in England for 20 years but now lives in Bad Tölz, is hoping for a victory for the English. “We're all England fans, of course,” she says, referring to her three boys who were born in England. “We hope that there will be a lot of goals - that makes the game all the more exciting.” However, neither she nor her sons can give any tips for the final score. "They all have different opinions, we just hope that enough goals are scored so that there are no penalties." They watch Sunday's game with their best friends - who are Italians, however. “We decorate everything, and the flag has been waving from the balcony for a long time anyway. If England wins, we will have another pint and there will be more shouting than already. "Michaela Schamberger is of the opinion,that the Italians need one less victory, "but it would be great for England, especially now after Brexit and the pandemic".
