Glad although too much noise was made last night, at least until 4 am. I feel lousy this morning not having slept enough.
Lousy but happy. Sweet to beat the french after the deeper pleasure of beating the germans. The Italians always make me suffer though. I am actually beginning to like Lippi ("Paul Newman"). I kind of detested the guy but really do think he did a very good job. I do believe the italians played well in this tournament as back home there is a soccer scandal blossoming and many of these new world champs probably wanted to show how much they were worth before their teams are sentenced to play next year in lower leagues. I was pleased to see they didn't loose their nerve (several smiles during the game! and no mistakes during penaltly kicks). I think the early-in-the-game french penalty game ruined the match. Zidane? Even a great man can behave like a great jerk. I am curious to read frech headlines and see how many will justify him. Ah la grandeur....
