We are the Champions

What a night ! Or should i say morning ?
When France scored the penalty, i was devastated...i shut my eyes and didn't feel like watching anymore...but Kit Kit says, "Still early"....then, Italy equalized ! That was such a moment of relief and joy for me !
Seriously, I think penalty shootout is not a very nice way to end a competition, for usually, lady luck somehow plays an impt role, skills is more secondary. And knowing that Italy had to go to a penalty shootout with France was bad news...as Italy has never been lucky in this area. They lost 4 out of 5 shootouts. In 1994, they lost to Brazil in the finals, and poor Baggio was like the most hated and scorned person ever for his kick that flew up into the sky. I held my breath throughout the whole shootout, and i was so overjoyed when they won it this time round. My mom said i jumped till the whole house was shaking. A bit exaggerating, but yes, i was too thrilled...
I have been an ardent fan and supporter of Italy since Sec1. Yes, i know i've said i also support Holland, but the main reason was because of the coach Van Basten haha, but i do know that it's not easy for a young team like them to win this time round. Anyway,even before i started watching EPL, i was watching Italian league, that's how i got to know players like Van Basten etc...somehow, out of so many European teams, i only have eyes for Italy. Of cuz, their hot looks and hot bods are just some of the factors...i am most impressed by their defence. They used to play defensive football, but it's good to see them attacking more this WC. But at the same time, their defence is still solid, with Cannavaro as the main pillar of strength. This Italian team is one of the best and most balanced team ever, and i really think they deserve to win the trophy.
This is a team that I've been supporting since so many yrs ago, and it was such immense joy to see them lift the trophy this morning.
How i wish i was there to witness this moment live !
What a month ! It's all ended too fast....i don't really know what to watch anymore..besides my CSI dosage, i've been watching WC non-stop everyday for the past month. I've been marathoning till 5am every morning for the past month. Now, i have to wait for 4 more yrs.
Whatever it is, Italy has won, and i think i'll never forget the night's events and joy for a long long time.
Below are some wonderful moments captured:

Buffon the world's best and most expensive goal-keeper

Cannavaro, Italy's captain and solid defender. Also won the FIFA silver ball award. Ironically, the golden ball award went to Zidane who was shown the red card.

And last but most importantly, the World Cup belongs to ITALY !!!!!!!!!!!!!
