ITALIA 2 - 0 Deutschland

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!

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

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