world cup

its pretty inevitable that the fever does get to you one way or another.
mine's Forza Azzurri aka Italia.

the first time i shouted and got up my arse celebrating a victory in a Mamak was when Italy won Australia with a late penalty.

today's match was flippin' amazing.

was rather hesitant to go down the Mamak at 2.30 am this morning [to grab good seats] but did it anyways. it wasn't necessary in the end as the crowd was less than usual [thanks to the early exit of Brazil, England and Argentina].

Semi Final : showdown between Italy and Germany.

Germany's World Cup dream was destroyed by 2 Italy goals at the end of extra-time as Fabio Grosso and Alessandro Del Piero struck to secure a place in the final.





i absolutely loved the fact that there were quite alot of Italy's fan down at my appartment.
the atmosfere during that 2 late goals were just down right crazy!
Fans screaming their hearts out [most probably out of the money they won from betting]
but still, strangers standing on their feet and cheering on Italy! it was a moment to remember.

got a simple sms from Richard Bain [fellow Forza Azzurri fan] after the match,
which was : oh my god!
what can i say..? he's right.
