Today, France played Italy in Berlin, in the final match of this World Cup. Four long years since the last (which we on the east coast watched at 5:30am!), I was well up for it. The past month has gone by much too quickly, but it has been football heaven!
Forget Paris, forget Rome... today, the party was in Moedling! We decided that the only way to watch the game was among friends, and massive amounts of food of course!
After several hours hangin out at the pool, we got back home to set up for FanFest Moedling. A simple TV would not suffice. Ragi brough over his projector, which was used to beam the game onto the huge screen! Next, came snacks, drinks, and most importantly food. The grill was just getting hot as everyone began to show up.
'Fleischmeister' Ragi grilled our meats to perfection, and the feast began. After all I ate, I could've passed out in a corner, were it not for the match starting.
The game did not disappoint. The dramatic finale was a fitting finish for 64 brilliant games, and a quality tournament.

author's note: let the record stand, that shameful as his sending off was, Zidane is undoubtably the best player of this era, and among the greatest players ever to lace up a pair of boots.
