Viva Italia!

Today, Dave, myself, and many, many New Zealanders woke up at 5:30 AM on a Monday to watch the finals for the World Cup. It was all worthwhile, as a drama-packed game ended with my beloved Italy taking home the Cup after a 5-3 penalty shootout. Well done!

(Now, if only someone could tell me what the hell Zidane was thinking, with that head-butt that probably cost France everything? What was THAT about?)

Sure, but two can play at THAT game -- last I heard, Italian guys *especially* hate lewd or slanderous comments about their mothers. Instead of violence, Zidane could have taken advantage of that, if he'd been "using his head"...

Who'd have thought that Zidane's reputation could have been saved with a well-placed "yo' mama..." joke, eh? ;-)

I miss you guys lots too... I wish I was there. But, in the meantime, take lots of photos and video, eh? :-)
