Viva Italia!!!

Was it worth it to sleep at 10 P.M., woke up at 2 A.M., watched the game till 5.30, couldn’t sleep till at least 6, woke up with a headache, all this trouble just to watch the Italians beat the French? The hell it did!!! Against all the criticisms back home with the announcement waiting for them after the match, they did it, after 24 years of waiting. On top of it, every single penalty counts! The cursed of Roberto Baggio has ended, I think J.

They never failed to make it to the finals every 12 years, I kept my fingers crossed though during the penalty shootout. I’ve been expecting Euro 2000 playback, although it went a little differently. Here, the French scored first, the Italians catch up again with a header from Materazzi. Materrazi is a very important man in the finals yesterday, don’t you agree? It was he who gives the penalty to the French, it was he who scored for the Italians side, and it was he who make Zidane been sent off, and that’s an Inter player for you, hahaha.

Regarding the head-butt, I think Materazzi was making a joke. It was typical of him to make a joke almost about anything, although he has always been the one who’s been send off, but he was a great friend nonetheless. He kept in touch with Figo during the finals, and always texting Cordoba whose country failed to show up in this final. It seems Zidane doesn’t took it very well, and yeah, it shocked everyone for what he did, no one expected it, the ball was never near them at all for a start.
Anyway, it was a great first half, the second half sees both sides playing conservetaly, the only action that really worth gasping was during the time Luca Toni scored (offside) and the header from Zidane. During the shoot-out, I hold my breath during Del Piero’s and Grosso’s kick. Del Piero, after all this year, managed to not fail the fans again. He was a great player, although he doesn’t show much of his worth during world’s finals, but he somehow, an inspiration to all the fans. Viva Italia!!!!
