Italia

[Scott]

Just heard a bunch of car horns and seen an Italian flag go by, the Italians must have won.

And Portugal just handed England its ass.

England has been carrying its ass around in a sling all tournament.

Ronaldo! You FAT BASTARD!

Mmmmmm, Grosso.

Worth the wait.

Someone flip me a smoke.

What a Kick-Ass GAME!!! Italy won with 2 goals in the last 60 seconds of overtime! 2-zip, no goals until then. Germans are crying in their beer.

Little Italy along College St. in Toronto is crammed with thousands of fans blowing whistles, wearning blue shirts, screaming and waving flags. I've been doing the same thing. Mounties on horses are all over the place trying to keep order. Cars and trucks full of Italian flag-waving fans are blowing horns and screaming at all the fans on the sidewalks, which are impassable. This goes on for blocks, and the din is awesome. You'd think you were in Rome.

Dude, if Portugal beats France tomorrow, that shit's gonna drive a line down St. Clair Avenue like the Berlin Wall....

Hit us up with a shot from the Cafe Diplomatico if you can!

Those Italians. Dick around till the last minute, and then WOP.

How 'bout these? I didn't realize I had a shot of Cafe Diplomatico! Little Italy along College St. in Toronto after the Italian World Cup Semifinal win, July 4th, 2006.

Little Portugal is just a few blocks west of Little Italy. Tomorrow will be another story!

Ack! How did he DO that??

If I linked the sound, you'd all be deaf! We ate outside next to the sidewalk at Kalendar and just soaked up the energy and rowdy noise and joy of the crowd.

France thumps Portugal, 1-0. I happened the catch the action while doing important file reviews, as a TV monitor happened to be turned on in a conference room I happened to be using.

So eets France v Italy on Sunday.
