Everything in it's right place

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.
