-The Final End-..
It wouldn't have been much more horrifying even if I was left in a haunted house alone for a week as compared to the feelings I had last night during the match between Italy and France. The starting was quite exciting especially the first 2 minutes where Henry gets hurt in his neck. But then that took off badly soon enough after Zidane scored a goal for France, thanks to his penalty kick. That one kick surely did send the whole house into a silent mode. The atmosphere was so glumly; it fell like as though I was attending a funeral. Although Italy did catch up with the score hardly 15 minutes later, the tensed atmosphere in the house didn't at all subside. The fact that Italy didn't play their very best (Italy-Germany was so much better) and France doing extraordinarily well added more despair into the already miserably surrounding. (It was worse for me as my beloved Gilardino wasn't at all playing). Starting from the second half of the extra time, I could see Milan and Rahul, both starting to get extra tensed. Me too, knowing the fact that if Italy didn't score one goal now, they will never be able to win this game due to their bad history for penalty shots. True enough, the game ended with penalty kicks for both the teams, and thankfully ended with Italy wining, credit to Trezeguet , a france player who missed the goal.
I assume every france supporter would say it was italy's sheer luck to win, with both Henry and Ribery out of the field before the game ended (what was the manager thinking by taking them off field?) and Zidane, being brainless to get himself a red card for his last match (I guess he wanted to be remembered forever for his stupidity). But think about this again, the first France goal was not even meant to be there. Zidane didn't deserve the penalty. (re-watch the match and you would realize he didn’t get hit by anyone). So at the end, the only conclusion I would make is; Italy was just fated to win the finals..yea!! And I was destined to see gilardino's face for 30 mins during the closing ceremony!! CONGRATS ITALY!!!
p/s~i added three more fav player in my list=number 5 (CANNAVARO), number 10 (TOTTI), and number 15 (IAQUINTA).. obviously with Gilardino being my number 1 favorite forever...sob..sob..world cup have finally come to an end..4 more years to go..
