Everything in it's right place

They said he wouldn't make it back...

...14 World Cup goals. Here's to all those happy fuckers who said it wouldn't happen.

Italy vs. Australia just then. THE. SCARIEST. MATCH. EVER. No, not really but scary enough.

0:0 all the way with Italy playing one man short. Surprisingly enough, Australia were the better team for most part of the game. 90 minutes with 3 minutes stoppage time. Grosso takes the ball into the box and is tripped up by Neill at - get this - 92:52! THAT'S 8 SECONDS from the end. 8 SECONDS!! So what happens? Totti takes the penalty and fires one in for Italia. The game's over, 1:0 to the azzurri. If Neill had been where he was 8 seconds later, it'd be a completely different story. I can't complain - I wanted the Italians through - but it's hard not to feel for those outback-jack people. Neill's trip-up wasn't even intentional or severe. However, I did hate that asshole - John Aliosi - who thought he could cruise on by with his good looks. Damn - a good soccer game and Chinese pudding all in one night?? There's only so much excitement my heart can take!! I really do love this game.

And it's not over:

I just reread over your last last post and yes, you will be forced to watch American football in the US...and even worse than that: They will insist on calling it soccer. You will no longer be able to call it football without being shouted at. Eek.
