"I am such a football illiterate that when the last World Cup took place in 2002 I actually asked my husband which team would be playing first!" confesses Bipasha. At her comment her husband Tauquir Ahmed laughed his head off and answered that this was not cricket and that the rules were actually different, where both teams would start at the same time.

However, though not the most knowledgeable person on the rules of football, Bipasha does have a favourite team which happens to be Italy. Once again her reason happens to be interesting to say the least. The glamourous actress supports Italy because of its ancient civilisation and rich culture. She feels that the players will also be very cultured and have a mystic element.

Her husband Tauquir usually roots for the underdogs. He always empathises with them and hence generally starts off by supporting the African nations.
