FIFA!! World Cup! Yahoo!

No contest; Italy is too much for Ukraine. Maybe they placed a slain horse head in the Ukrainian coach's bed last night....

And I guess now both Arrrrgentina and Ukraine are both sleeping with da fishes!

So who saw the hosts go down? Great game it was.

I saw the game. Great game indeed! Full marks to Italy, I think in the end, they deserved the victory and were the better team.

Italy will be tough to beat in the Finals.

I'm cheering for France. There is a huge Italian community in Toronto, the largest outside of Italy and should they win the celebrations will be deafening.

Remember, Marye, The Italians will celebrate for a day or two...the Quebecois may celebrate forever......

[Serenity]

I want to support France also but won't they storm the soccer field waving truce flags

Let's hope we see Les Bleu and not Le Blew! (or even Le Pew)

[Serenity]

Imponderables:

Doesn't "Azurri" also mean Blue? Why is that if there is no blue on their flag?

When France scored, they showed celebration in Toronto (?) Why wouldn't they show a celebration from Quebec?

The Italian goalkeeper is named Buffon; doesn't that mean Buffoon?

If Italy is closer to Africa than France, how come there are no black players on the Italian team?

Why is Henry prounounced Onray?

The anouncers said that a billion people were watching this game, How many of them are Chinese? Is that just home viewer?

[Serenity]

Why is it that the French striker who is exciting to watch has the initials ZZ?

Is the Pope watching this? Is he praying for Italy to win or did he complain in the sermon about people blowing mass off to go watch the game like they do here for the Superbowl?

[Serenity]

How can I be assured that the Security Guards are doing their job and are not going to be distracted watching the game? Hmmm...is the Security Agency American?

[Serenity]

The French coach is too much into Astrology.....no Scorpios, cautious of Leos....what does he do if today is an unlucky day? How many of the players think he's weird? Oh! We're in the 41st minute! Quick, throw some salt over your shoulder.....(preferably at an opponent's face)..........

[Serenity]

How come they don't play soccer with pads and helmets so they can throw themselves around more violently?

Uh-oh....crowd's singing.....the wine must be kicking in....

How come you never see any brawls in the stands?

Oh no..."Flacido" Domingo is singin' at half time. I wonder what he's gonna sing?

[Serenity]

What's Ode to Joy doing on this early on B.com?

[Serenity]

How come there's no Italian opera about a soccer player?

[Serenity]

I wish Brent Musburger would go away and give the microphone to Eric Wynalda or Julie Foudy.

Hey! Where'd Flacido go?

[Serenity]

I'm still wondering why Budweiser was the official sponsor of the Mexican National Soccer team and not Corona or Dos Equis or Tecate, etc.?

And how come I don't see any wine or cognac sponsors? The World Cup's rigged!

[Serenity]

You know....they could use some tailgate parties at the soccer stadium.....grilling sausages......Yum!

[Serenity]

Perrotta's out.....Doesn't his name mean "Big Female Dog"?

(That's odd, not one player is named Soprano)

[Serenity]

That's weird, except for one last name, none of the Italian players are named Tony or Paulie (in contradiction to Goodfellas wedding scene).

[Serenity]

What are Clinton and Chelsea doin' there?

How come none of the sponsors are lawn products? I'd love to know who's in charge of weed control on the field.

How much you wanna bet this game is being decided in the last minute of play (OT included) or penalty kicks
