World Cup Final!!

Holy crap.
I can't believe it's coming to an end.

It's been a mad, mad month and an exciting time for soccer. Did you guys catch yesterday's match? The Germans, oh man, they played GOOD soccer. And that OG by the Portuguese. Yes, guess who's going home to a loser's welcome.

Oh. My. Goodness.
An own goal. In the fight for third place. At this level? I sat there, reeling a little from the shock. What a time for an own goal! Got to credit the bugger.... a comforting hug from a team-mate and he then bravely soldiered on.

Now we have Italty and France. I rememeber mentioning France as one of the 3 countries I supported. And I did. In the last world cup. This year, believe it or not, I haven't seen them play a single game. For some reason, I haven't been as interested in the French. And combined with my shift-work.... *shrugs* Them's the breaks, yes?

So.
My last chance to see the French this time 'round. And what a place to watch them in. The finals! The French last won the World Cup in 1998, on their home turf, and I wonder if we'll see something spectacular tonight.


My head tells me Italy. My heart tells me France.
