We were in Rome when Italy beat Germany, and what a sight it was...cars blasting their horns and people waving flags from the car windows. People running down the street with large flags in their hands.
The celebration went well into the night. I can just imagine what it must be like tonight.

Kismetchimera, I think you took BTilke's comment in the wrong way. On the other thread today, he said: " It's amusing to read the other Fodors posts on the World Cup to see which other teams posters were SURE were going to make it to the finals. England-Argentina or England-Germany were among the most common predictions. Nobody predicted an Italy-France final. The Italians were dismissed as mere 'show ponies.' "
I think BTilke was poking fun at those who dismissed team Italia.
