Spain-Italy
OMGGG IT'S STARTING. Go forth, team, and rock & roll! ♥
I feel more confident by half-time than I did before the game. Either Italy's off their stride or Spain's done something about their defense play--whatever the reason, it's grand that Italy can be kept away from Spain's goal. Both teams started out testing the waters very, very carefully, and wow, did Italy's midfield look impenetrable and imposing, but it's opened up in a way that'd worry me if I was rooting for them. My boys got a few brilliant openings they worked for--Iniesta and especially Silva make my heart beat a little faster. ♥ I think the way this is going is peachy, though the Finnish commentators don't share my views but complain of boring and overly cautious play, and, most infuriatingly, one of them said he 'thought football was a game for men' and 'if someone got injured in a way that had them lying on the ground for minutes they shouldn't be allowed back on the pitch,' the sissies. Because Real Men don't get hurt, I gather. Okay!
And it's on again!
54' THAT WAS SO GOOD. SO CLOSE. TORRES. ♥
60' My heart stopped for a second, I swear. How super is Iker Casillas? How scary was that fumble? PHEW.
71' What was that after Villa's card? His BFF Fernando said something to one of the Italians that didn't look so friendly, and Buffon ambled into it and hugged Torres, and everyone was friends. I like that in a match, general dislike of the Italians' game aside. Besides, I totally dig Buffon!
84' Aragonés is taking Torres out when it looks like this is easily going to penalties? I hope he's got a plan. I really, really hope.
90+2 FUCK, what a miss. Ouch. And we're going into extra time again. CAN'T HANDLE THIS. AAAAAAHHH.
120 FUCKING MINUTES AND NO GOALS. I CAN'T WATCH. BUFFON IS TOO FUCKING GOOD AT PENALTIES. OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD. I AM GOING TO HIDE BEHIND A SOFA I DON'T OWN NOW.
HOLY FUCK IKER, HOLY FUCK ♥
TWO SAVES NOW I CAN'T EVEN
...WE WON WE WON WE WOOOOOOONNNNN~! WON! OMG! BOYS!
