match night
0300: feeling dozey as the germany vs italy match kicks off. thinks to self if going by past few matches and knowing germany and italy, will probably end regulation time 0-0. slipping in and out of consciousness knowing that i won't be missing much.
0345: feeling more awake after munching on potato crisps with tabasco sauce.
0400: match re-starts. the feeling that there won't be a goal dwells on. starts slipping back into semi-consciousness. being jarred into a state of semi wakefulness every few minutes due to puja's comments.
0445: expectations met. 0-0 full time score. damn!! should have bet. couldn't be arsed to though.
0455: feeling quite awake after chugging down a can of red bull. we are all hoping that italy scores in extra time, because got a feeling that if it comes to penalty shoot outs germany would win, due to klinsmann's study of opponent's penalty kicking patterns and lehmann being a good 'keeper. extra time kicks off.
0510: needn't have bothered with the red bull. with the near misses that have come along. hardly any midfield play. all the action at both ends. all sitting on the edge of our seats cursing when it looks like germany might score, and heaving sighs of relief when they don't. ready to jump up and down and scream when italy almost scores, but ending up in moans of frustration.
0527: italy scores and we go wild!!!! jumping up and down screaming. looks like no penalty shoot. out. germany scares us by almost equalising. italy counterattacks and del piero seals the fate of the germans with a clinical strike, as the dying action of the match. talk about adding insult to injury. YAY!!! hugs all round. puja and i are especially overjoyed. we got crap luck. the teams we support never make it until now :Þ huge adrenalin rush :D
