World Cup Celebrations: Italy wins it all!

[wyliepoon]

Photos and videos of people watching the game and then partying on Corso Italia. I'm pretty tired right now, so I won't be doing a lot of commentary on the photos. I'll let the photos tell most of the story...

Photos during the game...

Remember '82?

Street soccer during half time

"Who's gonna beat Italy? Nooooooooobody!"

Ever watched human foosball?

Hungry fans line up for food

Even the hair salon is packed with people watching the game

Kids with death wishes?

Even Catholic monks are getting into the spirit of things.

Girls from the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup promo team. They are dressed up as referees who give out yellow/red cards to people on the street

The moment of victory...

Postgame party photos...

A photo of me with a sign that a fan was holding during the celebrations... must be one of those Save Our St. Clair people!

I'm not sure what the cheering is about, but I think this was when Zidane got sent off

Death wishes?

Maybe blue-green colour blind. "I thought it was an Italian flag!" as the crowd surrounds them.

Too bad the St.Clair remake wasn't already done in time for this event. Would have been a nice kick-off.

I'm starting to worry about myself being colour blind. Yesterday I mistook on several occasion Italian flags with dark green for French flags.

But nothing was more funnier than a few girls on St. Clair who were rooting for France, but they were waving the flag of the Netherlands (which, of course, has red, white and blue horizontal bands) !
