Nail biting match

2006 FIFA WORLD CUP FINAL. 76,000 people in that stadium in Berlin. Tell me why this is something that I want to experience before I die. To sit in a stadium watching the World Cup with 76,000 crazy people. Well Bill Clinton was there with his daughter, why can't I go? I don't know if I'd really like that large of a crowd. Though it would be an experience.... Did you watch the final today? There were people in the crowd with FLARES when Italy scored. Flares. LIT ONES. Tell me how this is allowed. If this was taking place in the US...you know that they would be taken down within seconds by every security guard in the vicinity. But those Europeans are crazy...they'll do anything when they're excited. Hey! I'm allowed to call them crazy. I'm European. :) For those of you who don't know, I'm rooting for FRANCE to win. I am half french and say that with extreme pride. Now, if you were only sitting with me while I watch this game. I'm not a "sports" person per se...but I have gotten extremely vocal while watching this match. My neighbors must think I'm crazy. Oh well. I'll just blame Donna.

Sorry France, but Italy's got some pretty men on their team. Woo. Give me that close up again! I don't care that they're all sweaty....those are some pretty men. That's it...Mom, I'm moving to Italy! Wow, they are really pretty...the average age is 29. PERFECT! Sorry I got distracted.

And ITALY WINS in overtime. It was a great game! Bravo Italy. (Though France should have won!) ;)

28 days till I'm in France...

I'm impressed that you watched the match. I knew it was today, but I think I was still sleeping. I heard the overview on NPR this afternoon, so I feel like I'm ahead of most Americans...not that that's saying much. ;)
