Forza Azzurri! Forza Azzurri! Forza Azzurri!


Italy wins!


Italy beat France 5-3 today in a penalty shoot-out to win the FIFA World Cup 2006 after a 1-1 draw in Berlin.




Golden boy Fabio Grosso scored the winning goal





“Il Capitano” Fabio Cannavaro lifts the World Cup


Cheers to all you France supporters for a great game.

I’m running off now to celebrate the Italian victory.

  1. mj I have been waiting for you to serve Humble Pie so here I am.
    While it is not surprising that the EYEtaleeans beat FRANTS in the Final it was distressing that they had to goad Zizou into a match misconduct to do it. I'm sure that your hubby is as dismayed as I am. Atleast I don't have to watch you dance around the room singing NEENER!

    Penalty Kicks is no way to decide an event of this magnitude.

    OK I'll bend over quietly now and take one for the team. OOUUCH!
