France lose, Italy celebrates..(Been updated again )

I am convinced that I cannot pick winners! Never have any luck with stocks, lotteries and now with world cup winners. Started with Ghana, then moved to Germany and finally France. Even with a 50:50 chance, I still could not pick the right one. As for the game, very befitting final albeit the drama in the end with ZiZoo. With Macbethian finish, Zizzo walks by the Cup that he will not be taking home this time and descends into the locker room not be seen for rest of the game. It was as if the fate of France was already decided. Priya still has not recovered from the shock. If you have not recovered from it either, try this link http://widelec.org/zidane.html

Thrid place is better than no place, Germany save face with the 3 goals they pumped in to the Portugese net. After the loss to Italy, things went back to preworld cup days. The shopkeepers took posters down, cafes removed big screen TVs, no more world cup menus, mentioning football was taboo, and anything Italian was shunned. Basically we returned to pre-world cup days and believe me life without the ball to entertain is no fun. We are suddenly going to have all this time in the evenings, should think of something to do to keep us gainly occupied. Priya thinks swimming is a good idea?

I am going back onto the road for a few days, another trip to Malaysia. More when I am back.
