Amazing Azzurri!

Its 7.30pm and I'm still standing. After only 2 hours of sleep last night.

It was the result of an event that happens once every 4 years. Last night was the night the World Cup 2006 final match was played which saw Italy's Amazing Azzurri win the World Cup after a penalty shootout against France.

I supported the Italian team. For sentimental reasons - i supported the Italian team the first year i started to follow the WC, for the fact that they turned out to be an excellent team this year, and mostly because the Azzurri have great hair and great tattoos.

The heated drama-filled match which started at 2am ended at close to 5am. We watched it at Slippery Senorita (again) where a table was booked a week ago. And having a full day at work today, I have survived the day with endless cups of coffee and doing brainless work.

And with the end of the WC, I feel a sense of emptiness... we are left wondering what do we do now when we hang out. What were our nights before the WC? What will we talk about during our lunch breaks? When will I take my huge WC chart off my office wall?
