ITALY WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE BOYS IB BLUE DID IT!!!!!! CONGRATS TO ITALY ! LOVE YA! I CAN'T WRITE RIGHT NOW, BUT I DOD WANT TO SAY ZIDANE LOST THE WORLD CUP FOR FRANCE!

BIBI

WHAT DID I SAY...PENALTY KICKS!

Italy needs to take their time and fake out France. Their main man Zidane is gone so they have a better chance to win in kicks!

Zidane Thrown Out...Bravo!

That was nasty what he did!

Please Score Italy....

Good Save Italy!

THIS ONE COULD END IN PENALTY KICKS!

This game has me on the edge of my seat! I posted my Bill Clinton sighting before. Everyone is at this game! So cool!

GOING TO OVERTIME!!!!

HEY BILL CLINTON IS AT THE WORLD CUP!

THEY TOOK OUR GOAL AWAY!

BUMMER!

Game On!!!!

Nice crowd!

Score tied 1-1 at Halftime

So far so good! Italy's goal was very sweet. Of course France scored theirs off a penalty kick (not sure what the penalty was). France seems to be scoring on penalties only in the last 2 games. But I have my money (not really betting) on Italy this final. Good luck to all in the 2nd half! See you at the end to discuss!

Bibi

GAME TIME FOR ITALY VS FRANCE WORLD CUP FINAL

I'm so excited! It's almost game time and I will be in real time for this blog. Don't expect anyone to communicate with me during game time, but I don't care!

We are off to the game!!

Bibi

I"M BACK AND READY FOR THE FINALS!

I apologize for disappearing the last week, but deadlines were calling and I had to finish my new book! I'm to report it is finished and hits the streets today! You can view online next week at www.bibiadventures.com.

Now on to World Cup News. This has been an exciting series. Of course my favorite was Italy beating Germany! They were 2 sweet goals in the last 2 minutes of overtime. Nothing left to be said except BRAVO ITALY!

Looking forward to Germany & Portugal match for 3rd place. Should be interesting!
