i think if it were in the beginning you still had 80 something minutes to change that but in the very last minutes overtime thats that......

i heard it was 1:0 in the France Portugal match........ is it still that way??

FINAL........France wins.

Years ago I bought some tickets to a baseball game, at the end of the season.
as it turned out my team played the first place team to end the season, they were behind by three games with three to play.

Fiday night they won, I was there
Saturday, they won, I was there,
I had to work on Sunday, so just as I walked into the office they won the game..

There was a one game playoff that they miserably lost by 7 points....

But it was fun anyway!

Well, tonight, it's Germany : Portugal in Stuttgart for the 3rd place, and then there's only the final in Berlin tomorrow, Italy : France. And on Monday, the entire adventure is over.

We're hoping our team will win tonight, but still, the Germans are sad that they have missed the final. Funny thing is, all through the tournament, we had the loveliest summer weather (too hot for me, actually), but after Germany was defeated, the weather changed, and we have a lot of rain.

I took this photo today, it's sort of symbolic. During this World Cup, we have learnt to wear our flags with pride and joy, now they are down in the pouring rain...

From the shouts downstairs, I suspect that Germany have just gone one up! It's great that so many have turned out to support their team in the play offs.

I expect that Lily is at the match?

You up there in Northern Germany may have rain- we in the South still have the best weather ever.
I liked the good atmosphere all that brought over to our country. I feel most people had not expected our team to go so far. Of course I'm NOT watching the game- as I didn't see the others either

Only one more to go, Barbara, and the fever will be over for another four years.

Well apart from the Europeans, all the club championships, the normal league games .. blah de blah de blah ...

3:1 - Germany won!!!

They were wonderful tonight, if they had only played like this in the semi final! *sigh* But then again, you're always as good as your opponent allows you to be. One last time, we hear the car parades outside (well, unless the Italian community here has a reason to celebrate tomorrow).

Only one match left (the final), and everything is over. Like Barbara has said, this World Cup has brought a great and positive atmosphere to our country, and even when you're not too much interested in soccer, it has infected you. It was phantastic, and I'm sad that it's over now.
