Okay, so from Sunday I felt a bit crap because my nose wouldn't stop running and by Monday morning I couldn't stop sneezing and now I think I have a bit of a fever, but!
HOLY MOTHER OF ABSOLUTE YAYNESS.
THAT BOY IS GOLDEN.
Meaning:
Totti came on as a substitute and in the final seconds - LITERALLY, YO - he scored on a penalty.
Okay, so even I - ardent fan of Italy as I am - thought it was a very dubiously awarded penalty, but hey, THEY GOT THROUGH.
Now they just need to stop getting yellow cards. AND RED CARDS. Sure, I like the passion and fire as much as the next girl-who-watches-football-because-of-the-men, but pliz to be not getting any more cards because it only makes you look like assholes and makes me scowl and bite my nails.
Totti's goal-scoring celebration was so cornily cute.
I am now hoping for Spain to get through so there will be THREE MEDITERRANEAN teams in the next phase of the match. And Ghana. Ghana beating Brazil would rock so hard.
I only bite my nails during a one month period once every four years.
PS: God, how cool was Totti when he came on? He stood on the line and looked all, "Why, yes, I know I'm great, thanks for the acknowledgement." THAT MAN IS MINT. AND GOLDEN. MINT GOLDEN.
PPS: And I will now sacrifice some chocolate to the TV Gods because of the close-up on Totti. THANK YOU TV GODS.
