Yes i know it was a month ago but hey i am sure you guys are still thinking about it.
(i play the italian world cup song in the car every time i drive)
So whot did you do that night when Grosso fired in that last penalty eh?
should be fun
c/mon everyone put your ten pence in here

Was it a walk to clear your head because you were so overcome with emotion?

when Grosso put that penalty away i was stunned
for around five minutes, i just could not believe we could win on penalties just sat there motionless.
Then my mate looked at me, i looked at him then all hell broke lose as we went potty.
yeah the walk came a lot later but i will never forget it, even naw if anyone tells me we won the world cup on penalties i think wow! its still hard to register
thank god we buried that jinx good and proper

I was still laughing at Zidane's butt!

Drank too much birra, consequently spent a fruitless 10 minutes on the phone to my friend who watched the game in Viareggio and watched the highlights on BBCi until the wee small hours.

Having just returned from holiday in France, enjoyed wearing my Italia shirt as much as possible, with my 11 year old son chanting "Forza Italia" - amazing how many shops over there are now selling 1998 T-Shirts again!

As hinted by my previous post (deleted) I found the situation so emtionally involving I had to produce a box of Kleenex. Surely that'll get past the Mods?

Now my post looks totally out of place.

'deleted' and not for the first time

Without wishing to sound smug......

I was in Berlin for the final and roamed the streets for hours with the ecstatic fans

My sister and I ran around like maniacs screaming and yelling with joy!!!!

We both couldn't believe that we actually WON a penalty shootout. All the painful WC losses flooded through me and I felt a bit meloncholy for Baggio and Maldini who suffered for so many years and were not on this team.

Then the phone calls flooded in from around the country and overseas with congrats.

Even non-Italian fans and non-soccer fans were happy because the French got beat!

Oh yeah, then the Peroni flowed!

I was driving around the streets of Rome on the back of a truck waving an Italian flag and singing my head off!

I ran down the street with my underwear for 10 mins screaming Campione Del Mondo Italia Campione Del mondo!!!!

As tender as Del Boy was ?

Even tenderer, but a bit less salty.

Tell me more...

good grief, to be honest i am still enjoying the moment even naw infact when i go out on my running i always wear an italian football shirt
amazing stuff!
