Forza has a nice ring to it.
Though Dante would be nice too, in a Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch’entrate! kind
of way.

All three are great but I really like Team Allegria and Team Forza.
Please could someone also explain to me how I set up a new log as it's the first time I'm
creating one and I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly.
Grazie mille

Thanks a lot for the feedback suzukaze! Looks like my knowledge of these "informal" conditional forms isn't quite as good as I thought. |

You're welcome, I'm glad I was able to help! As it probably happens in other languages as well, some wrong forms/expressions made their way into everyday language and are widely used. Still, it makes sense to use those "wrong" forms in media (books, films...) if they aim to sound realistic, as in the case of "Io non ho paura".

Exactly, that's another thing to keep in mind: regional or, more broadly, north/south differences. I come from Lombardy, which is in northern Italy, while all my university friends came from central/southern Italy (mostly Lazio/Campania/Puglia) and we did us different expressions or words to say the same thing. For example one of my friends once said "Esci il formaggio dal frigo", which sounded rather odd to me the first time I heard it since I would have said "Prendi il formaggio dal frigo".
Also, if you read non-contemporary books, even from only 50/60 years ago, you can notice how much the language has evolved.

You have to start a new post in the Language Learning Log forum found here: http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_topics.asp? FID=4&PN=0. If you belong to a team I think (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) you have to include your team(s) name(s) in the post title, such as: StarcrazyAngel TAC 2014 Team Forza. Regarding your log contents you can take a look at other logs to get an idea of how you can organise it.
P.S.: I'm not really a team member, but I like the name team Dante. He is one of my favourite Italian authors though, so I may be a bit biased :P

I'll be observing your team for the first part of the year, at least. Or, as Kerrie put it, stalking (that should be a new category). |

Pssst. "Observing" is a positive rebranding of stalking.
My log is here. This is the page where 2014 starts.
As a huge football fan (and Serie A is my favourite league), I prefer FORZA ;) or Roma, even though I support Fiorentina.
I haven't read any Dante yet :S

@ Suzukaze: Grazie. I think I managed it. I'm just unsure now how to add tags to my post
title.
