Cruncher game (1 sided view, heheh)
This is mostly going to be about the Italian job.
I’m soooo chicken (Le Coq) s*** scarred to watch the Czech VS Italy cruncher game – it’ll make or break both teams. So I take the coward way out instead by watching Ghana VS US.
GO GO Azzurri !!! Meanwhile, I arrange all Italian memorabilia we have in the room to show some support. (The 2 Goleos is not really related, but can also lah).
I also found out that the Fan of the Match is a girl who bears the same name as me, so I'm putting it here.
For Aida Apostolico, a midsummer night’s dream came true today. When the 24-year-old found out that she had been chosen as Hyundai Fan of the Match, she could hardly believe her luck. “Amazing! I’m over the moon to have been chosen as Fan of the Match. What an unforgettable night this is going to be. If Italy manage to win now, then everything will be just perfect!” Primary school teacher Aida, whose favourite player is Alessandro del Piero, flew in yesterday to Baden-Baden with three of her friends.

Back to Czech VS Italy. Italy won the game!!! Yeah !!!!!!! But am sad that Czech had to go. They are a strong team and deserve to go further, but unfortunately are bundled together in a rather difficult group. I’ve always liked to watch the wonderful Nedved in action (with his flowing girlish blond locks).
Pavel Nedved & Francesco Totti in action
Materazzi scored first, although Czech was attacking more (OK, so I watched the repeat, that’s how I know meh). Not particularly spectacular, but what a high header !!! Then it’s goal-drought until the 87th minute when Superpippo got the better of the Czech’s defender’s offside trap and played the ball around Cech to shoot home. Poor Cech, he was crawling to get the ball from Pippo.

Superpippo pips Cech
No outrageous goal celebration this time though, just Buffon over-excited with the first goal when he came gushing to his team mates and then quickly ran back to his goal post.
Over-excited Buffon (in gold)
Nedved was the last to leave the pitch, it must be very emotional for him as walked arm in arm with Juve team mate, Buffon for 20m. He knows the Italians well, and vice versa, after having played in Serie A for 10 seasons.
Nedved and Buffon... besh mates
Next, Italy will meet Australia in the first knockout stage. All the best !!!
I'm also putting some exciting goal celebrations here. Check it out !!
Miroslav Klose's somersault : Ger VS Ecu, 2-0, 20/06/06
Ivan Kaviedes pulled a Spider-Man mask from his shorts (ECU vs CSR, ECU won 3-0) as a tribute to Otilino Tenorio, a teammate killed in a May 2005 car crash in Ecuador. Tenorio, whose nickname was "Spiderman," used to pull the mask from his shorts during his goal celebrations.
Thierry Henry cups his ears - FRA vs TOG (2-0), 23/06/06
Juergen Klinsmann , the coach over excited. GER vs SWE (2-0), 24/06/06
