The End of the Game

WOW! Who would have thought? 2:0 for Italy! The game was so close to ending at the dull 0:0, but in the end, weeee, the Italians scored two great goals! Sorry, Germany. I guess that the "host must win" thesis was wrong in this case. Maybe there was a bit too much of the "host sucks" involves in this game. Whatever it was that made the Italians win also made our neighbors (Italians, too) very, very happy. They started singing victory songs and shouting like crazy. They'll have a good night's sleep.

The surprising result was disappointing to my family in a way... I guess none of us are good at sports bets... :( No one won anything. Mom's result was the closest one, but unfortunately the cruel ruls of betting state that unless the final score is exactly as predicted, there is no winner. Sad but true...

By the way...
Happy 4th July! It's actually the 5th now, but the Blogger date will surely say July 4th. So enjoy the rest of your day and smile!
