ITALIA 2 - 0 Deutschland

[mcgillianaire]

FORZA AZZURRI!!!

Holy fuck. What a stunning last few minutes of extra-time. All said and done, Italy had the better chances. Also, where was Klose tonight?

You know you're back in Montreal when there's a shitload of car honking and random yells of appreciation after Grosso's clinical finish and Del Piero's counter attacking knockout punch.

Less than 12 hours ago I was transitting in Frankfurt. I've never seen so many Americans in an airport. Apparently 20,000 Yanks attended the World Cup!

Zizou. Please.Destroy.Portugal.
Wouldn't you rather play Portugal in the final?

At least if Portugal plays Italy in the final, I won't feel like I'm missing too much by sleeping early (have to be up early for my visa interview the next day). If I want to watch the World Diving Championships, I'd much rather see the version taking place in a swimming pool..

HAHAHA.
You know when I found out Brazil would have to play France in the final I assumed Brazil would win and then they'd have to play Portugal and would kick some Portugese asses. However, France won, but I really hope the Portugal team get damned. Those dirty bastards! Honestly, Figo should have been suspended for his stupidity in the Netherlands match!!! My respect for that fool has gone down the drain.

However, like the above commenter said I think Portugal vs. Italy would be a more entertaining match to watch.

Yes Italy were the better team.
The German team were so out of it I think they assumed they'd win by going into penalties.

I hope you're not referring to me. :) So that we are all clear, I hope that France make the final. I suggested to mcgillianaire that he would prefer Italy to play Portugal because Portugal is not as good as France, and so his team (Italy) would have a better chance of winning.

Allez les Bleus !

Heh. I thought you said that because some people tend to support the team that defeated their own. As it stands, England have always been defeated by previous champions in the knockout rounds of a World Cup. Portugal have never won before and despite the history, I don't want them to win this one. In time I might get over it and admit that England only always loses to the ensuing champion...

Having said that, I'd rather France win. Portugal would be the easier opponent but France would provide the sterner test. Sure, I want Italy to win but not without playing a good match against a good team.

After all, there is that business of 1998 and 2000 to deal with. Especially 2000. Revenge will be the sweetest antidote to the pain of those two memories.

Ooooooops I did refer to you hahaha
Sorry I just misinterpreted what you had written!

No worries, when the explanation of a comment is three times longer than the comment itself, the original comment probably wasn't clear....
