What a Game...

......................"Grosso Goal" -- Fabio Grosso's 119th minute goal that shattered German's World Cup hope


Though Germany held its ground, Italy was clearly the better team last night and in one of those magical movie moments in sports, with just a minute remaining Italy dramatically altered the course of the game with not one but two unstoppable goals. Germany had very obviously wound down its game with about 5 minutes left in the second overtime, no doubt anxious for a glorious penalty shoot-out -- a Russian roulette in football rules that Germany usually wins. Teaching us all a life lesson, Germany witnessed firsthand how letting your guard down even at the very end of the game is not a wise choice.

Viva Italia! The Final is certainly going to be unbelieveably exciting...
