Aap to aise na the …..

Some Blues win. Some Blues lose. One Blue is color of sunshine. The other one would give blues to a nation for a long time. Finally, the team which wore the blue dress in final won. Les Blues were made to look like the less(er) blues. Roberto Bagio and Franco Baresi would finally end their Vanvas. Rome ka rome rome khila hoga. Aur Milan ka world cup se milan hoga. (Too bad :) )

The way Zizou spear-headed France to defeat would embarrass even a raging Spanish bull. Zizou not just did it to Materazzi. He did it to us junta too. Usne dil pe thokar mari. Zizou, aap to aise na the. The share brokers in Mumbai should take a clue from the incident. A bull-run may not fetch the expected results everytime. Meanwhile, rumors float about Frenchman Florent Malouda been offered a role in a sequel to Krrish. The expenditure on special effects would be restricted, if Malouda can perform yesterday’s diving act repeatedly. Andrea Pirlo sent the French dreams to win the world cup to Pirlok after a magnificent corner to set up the first goal for Italy.

Spare a thought for Materazzi. He conceded the only self goal Italy conceded in WC. He conceded the first penalty to France. Scored the goal for Italy to level them up. And then hit a special penalty to give Italy the lead. Grosso was the hero for Italy. His (in)famous dive against Australia, his superb goal against Germany in the dying moments and his last penalty kick. All played a part in Italy journey to becoming World Champions.

Italians are champs. Another reason for me to choose pizza over paneer. Congress-men here in India would finally get something to congratulate their madam. A football hangover for a couple of days and then cricket would come back into business.
