France needs to win because I’ve been sick of the Brazilians and their flapping breasts since before this whole thing started.
Doppelganger 07.01.06 at 10:12 pm: I was walking home from the gym today and Rusty met me halfway down the block with the news that Brazil had lost, which would explain all the sad faces on the legions of fans straggling away from the Brazilian cafe that’s practically across from our house. Without thinking, I responded with a loud, Nelson-esque “HA-ha!” Then I looked around nervously, hoping no one had heard me. Then I thought to myself, “Fuck them,” and I said it again, even louder. HA-ha! Teaches you people for waking up my baby with your goddamned drums and airhorns.

They’ll be back in full force next weekend rooting for Portugal, but I can enjoy this small victory today.
Glark 07.02.06 at 2:06 am: Awesome. I\’m going to make a retreat to Thorold for the final if possible. Thorold has a lot of Italians but they are old and only go outside to hose down their driveways en masse so no honking even if they win.
