Forza Italia

Feeling sad over the result of today's match. Slovakia three, Italy two. This is the end of their journey for this South Africa World Cup 2010.

This is the first and the last match i could watch them play for this world cup in South Africa, 2010. It is rather unusual for me, that this year when the world cup started I have not been watching much of the matches at all. I tried to stay up for a midnight match of Italy vs Paraguay last week (or two weeks ago?). But ended up I was down, dead sleeping on the couch and only opened my eyes twice to check on the result. It was when Paraguay scored the first goal, then another time when the result has become 1:1.

i was playing hotel city when the match started at 10pm just now. i wasn't interested to watch as i know the Europe teams have been performing very bad lately. until it was after half time, i felt the urge to check out this match. my heart was telling me maybe i should watch and show my support to Italy.

Haiks! I couldn't believe that the journey of Champion for WC 2006 ends so early. we cheered, shouted and even cursed in front of TV for the blue. our emotions went up when they managed to score; it went down many times when the white scored and when one goal was dismissed for the reason of offside and another goal got blocked by the Slovakia player.

i haven't got to see Buffon play for this WC yet and now they have to pack and go home. not much of emotions / expressions was shown on Lippi's face, but from his frowning eyes, i can feel his worries, frustrations and desperation to win this match and lead the team forward.

i guess this SAWC is not for the teams that i have been supporting the most. France's gone, and now it's turn for Italy. i wonder if i still could see my heroes in the future world cup. to the wonderful footballers that got me so emotionally connected when i watch football: Totti, Canavaro, Del Piero, Buffon, Panucci and more, ti amo and keep moving forward! Forza Italia!
