Italy wins 2006 World Cup

ITALY have won the 2006 World Cup, and the incredible party that has been Weltmeisterschaft 2006 is over! Nicole and I were at a friend's birthday bash on Saturday to watch the Germany/Portugal (Germany 3:1) match, and we had a great time. It was a very pleasant evening and the results made everyone very happy! 

On Sunday, we went to Ingrid and Ulf's house to watch the big game - we settled into the garden and had wurst on the barbie, salads and a few beers. Ulf set the TV up outside and we all sat on garden chairs to watch the game. It was another warm evening, so it was great to sit outside.  Italy won on penalties.  

It has been a brilliant four weeks! Germany has had the best party atmosphere, and Berlin with all its live venues and events has been a great place to be. I have been very fortunate to have had the chance to see some games live, and have also enjoyed all of the different venues that were on offer for the public. The event was wonderfully organised, the weather was great and the football, for the most part, was good to watch!

As for the sweeps, Jocelyn and Alexander were the winners! When asked, Alexander still wanted France to win 'because they knocked Australia out'!, but he still takes home 80 Euros from the sweep.
