Now, for the people who are screaming "Italy is number 1" and etc. to my face I have a couple of things to say to you. 1) You guys were getting dominated. Yes, your defense is great, but it was unfortunate that the French couldn't score a goal. 2) Concerning the famous Zidane Header: Yes that was harsh, but Materazzi probably deserved it, because I'm sure he said something to piss off Zidane. Rumors have it that Materazzi called Zidane a terrorist. If so, Materazzi deserved it (I would of done the same).
I also find it appaling that Italy/Materazzi needs to resort to provoking a star player to win a championship. If thats the case, they should change the rules of football (soccer, I like to use the more logical, european term) to whoever makes the most outragous offensive comment to the other team wins. Well maybe throw in a clause where if they retaliate physically then they lose. I dunno, sad on Materazzi, and sorta sad on Italy in retrospect.
Despite all that I still admire Zidane (even though I was a little disappointed at first). Although a little hot headed, (I would of shoved the comment back in his face by winning the World Cup, were I Zidane,) he is still an awesome player (The world's best, imo). Hey, he may of been called a disgrace to french football children, but atleast he sticks up for himself. It was a professional match up to that point and Materazzi should of kept his offensive comments to himself. (Karma's a bitch Materazzi, you might end up getting bombed by terrorists...) I still have to praise Italy for winning the world cup, its no small feat.
Still Awesome
Today, our team hockey team, Tsunami, played the 49ers. Not bad, even though we end up losing, hopefully we'll do something about it as the season ends. I know its a rec league, but I'd still like to play competitively.
Went to Moose Factory (they have pretty waitresses) after for some team bonding. After drooling over the waitress, I managed to order a Peppercorn New York Steak. Tasty.
Gugenz gave me 4L of concentrated orange juice. Needless to say, I'll be drinking and pissing orange juice for the next few weeks (, when I get around to making it). Thanks Gugenz.
Also, thanks Chungers for introducing me to Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. Its an awesome band and an awesome CD. I especially like the track were they start having drug names as part of the lyrics (Ectosone, peroxatine...). Think it was called "Heart Problems".
