CAMPIONI DEL MONDO!!!



What a night! I swear I've never seen so many people in the streets, singing, dancing, drivers hooting, flags everywhere. I got home at 4 am and there were still cars around. Everyone was singing the bassline of "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes, which became the unofficial anthem of the World Cup, because it was the opening theme of the daily football special on RAI1. While the opening theme of the football show on LA7 was "99 Luftballons" by Nena, which became my own personal Ohrwurm in the last two weeks. I took a lot of pictures and did 2 short videos, but I'll upload them tomorrow, I didn't go to work today (thank God, I couldn't have woken up at 7 am this morning) and my internet connection is too slow.

We didn't go to the Arena in the end, because some people who were already there told us you couldn't see a thing, so we went to a friend of a friend's place, this guy connected his computer to a projector and we saw the match on the wall, like a big cinema screen, really cool.

When Zidane scored the first goal we were all so frustrated, the referee shouldn't have given that penalty kick at all, but when Materazzi scored we were all ecstatic. The second half was pretty much crap and so did the extra time, we were all so tense and afraid the French would score. And what Zidane did was so shitty! Materazzi isn't properly a gentleman when it comes to play football (I know, he plays in my team *g*), but a player like Zidane should have kept his cool, not matter what Materazzi said. The match was almost over, his gesture was inexcusable.

During the penalty kicks we were all holding hands, it was such a relief when it was finally over. We watched the cup-giving and then went out. The streets were in a frenzy, cars, scooters, people on foot, it was incredible. We went to the castle by car, some friends of my friend Emma's were in the car in front of us sitting in the boot and they weren't the only ones. Then we went to piazza Duomo on foot and it was amazing, people sitting on the statues, cars and scooters painted green, red and white, there was even a guy with a trumpet playing the Seven Nation Army bass riff.

We needed this. After the football scandal in June we needed something to believe that even if clubs and managers are corrupted, we still have players that want to play and can win.

GRAZIE RAGAZZI!

Pictures and videos tomorrow!

Guarda, io non sapevo che fosse il tormentone del mondiale perchè ho sempre seguito le partite da casa e non avevo idea che nelle piazze si cantasse, l'ho scoperto ieri sera. Ma visto che guardavo praticamente tutte le sere Notti Mondiali sulla RAI (ero a casa da sola e non avevo un tubazzo da fare) ho fatto 2+2.

Mi hanno fatto morire quando si sono messi a ballare attorno a Camoranesi e gli hanno tagliato i capelli! XD
