Well the Italians didn’t win four WCs for nothing.

David Beckham in the stands is not impressed.

Doing a good impression of Maroney at the 2012 Olympics.

Loud cheers from somewhere in my neighborhood at Italy winning!!

Ahh, England ....

Based on the screams and when they occurred, there are more Italians than English on my block . Either that, or we're all hunkered down at home while the English are at the pubs (where they've been since morning).

I ventured out for a bit around 2 pm, and it was already absolute mayhem. Sirens all day long. The police seemed to be keeping the fans in check, and hopefully they'll continue to do so.

And Italy do the Eurovision and Euro Football in the same year becoming the first country to do so. We all know what the more important achievement is though.

If it is any consolation to the English team, I think their team is better looking of the two.

England players doing Surya Bonaly à la 1994 with their medals.

DH is over the moon and will wear his Gattuso shirt tomorrow.

 

[SHARPIE]

Gutted. Congratulations Italy

 

[Marta24]

Yay, Italy won
Sorry for England though. Penalties are brutal.

 

[allezfred]

I think even grimmer than seeing all the violence surrounding the match are the tweets now being shared about numbers for refuges for victims of domestic violence.

They are celebrating in downtown little Italy and not a mask to be seen anywhere

 

[allezfred]

Whatever happens on Sunday can the god awful “Three million years of butt hurt” song be cancelled forever.

My request still stands.

Really upsetting to see the racist abuse English players are receiving on social media after the match. Hardly surprising though.

 

[Buzz]

Yeah not surprising at all.

Well, I know which one involved prettier people

It sucks to lose such an important match like this, especially for the guys directly responsible. Too bad they can't do something like extra innings in baseball, though in that case this thing might still be going on...

I was watching closely at swap time. The three replacements all seemed to have major pukeface going on. Not a good sign.

Football hooliganism simply moved online.
