I live in a little town in Switzerland. Besides the cowbells, it's usually very quiet at night. Tonight people are honking their horns and yelling, "Italia!"

I never cease to be amazed.

Yes, the "show ponies" put on quite a show! And congrats to the French as well for making it to the finals.

What a game it was! I'm wondering why the Italian team wears blue instead of the colors of their flag? Does anyone know why?

Thanks,
Evelyn

Justice was served with 4 days delay. Domenech deserved the title of clown of the world cup. Zidane has a future in bullfighting (who guess in which role?)

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.

< the "show ponies" put on quite a showly > Really Btilke? I see a lots of Jealousy in your statement..

As you can see that the so called"PONIES", won the World CUP 4 times and are the World Champion..

Have a great night!!

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.
