Italy fans, lets weep together. ....and, now who are you going to root for?
Heh. I must admit that I was only following the Dutch team. I'm a very shallow voetbal fan. The next thing that interests me a bit is how Germany and Turkye will fare. Germany because it's our traditional nemesis. Turkye because everytime they win all bigger cities in the Netherlands are filled for hours with honking cars because of the people of Turkish descent.
Well, weds game should be good for you then. :) You know what would be interesting - Russia vs Turkey in the last game. And then Russia wins! They've never made the top three (or am I confusing it with the world champions now?)
You're not. But since I drowned my sorrows in grappa last night, today I keep cursing Donadoni every 5 minutes and can't focus long enough to decide who to root for now.
I'm an Italy fan, but for purely shallow aesthetic reasons, so I didn't feel too bad when Spain won - they played the better match all the way through.
