World Cup Final
Got up good n' early yesterday (10AM!!) to get to the Beer Garden in time for the World Cup final. Got there at exactly noon and the line was around the block! But since the place is enormous we were able to score a table, albeit a small one, right near one of the TV screens. Then we waited. Lines to get in, lines for beer, lines for food. Bah. But waiting an hour for that tasty kielbasa is so worth it. Mmmmm, beer and sausage for breakfast-what could be better?
The game was awesome, if you are an Italy fan, but I do wish it wasn't decided by penatly kicks. But we all had great fun watching and cheering with everyone. I loved the stupid ass headbutt that probably lost France the game. What a dummy! Some girl was wearing a homemade Zidane shirt and right after the headbutt promptly put on a sweater and covered it up in shame. Awww, poor thing. But that's what you get when you can't keep your anger in check you fool! No cup for you!
Afterwards headed over to Elias' Corner for some tasty Greek food and then onto Athens Cafe for some tasty greek frappe's and zeus' balls. Mmmmm, tasty doughnuts nestled in a pool of honey syrup. Nice way to end the awesome day.
Viva Italia!!!

That was such a good game! I felt bad for the guys after the first overtime, though, because they were really dragging ass out there. Poor finely tuned athletic machines! :-)
It was hard to decide who root for but ultimately I had to go with Italy, because it wasn't France. I feel bad for the girl with the Zidane shirt, but she should know better :)
come on. that game was so boring. so glad it's over now all the soccer pseudofans can go back to watching other boring sports like baseball.
the game ended in penalty kicks...the most anticlimatic way to end what is supposed to be the most popular game in the world.
stephen colbert puts its like this...ending the World Cup in penalty kicks is like ending the NBA championships with a game of HORSE.

of course, if i was there...it would have been the greatest sport ever. and i would be dead from being trampled on.
I agree the penalty kicks were not the best way to end it but what else do you suggest? These guys had been running around for 2 hours straight?! They needed some way to end it all. And the PKs were great! We were all standing up and cheering, so much tension, so nervewrecking! I loved it. You would've too if you had been with us! BAH! Go back to watching your dominoes!
