YAY USA! WE WO--, uh, TIED with Italy!! I kept saying all day, if the US team scores a goal against Italy, I will be happy. Well we did get a goal, although it was an Italian that accidentally kicked it in! But honestly, I think the US should take anything it gets, and be proud of it! And the best part was that we didn't just get that goal, we TIED! Hooray! We might have a chance of going farther if we beat Ghana next week!
The only annoying thing during the game tonight was the atmosphere at the bar we went to. Everyone there was Italy fans except for we 7 US girls. And we made up for our small number with loudness. We were REALLY into the game, screaming and shouting (Michele loudly called the opposing team "f***ing Italians" about 25 times; I was starting to a little worried).
However, towards the end of the game people started getting annoyed at us for being so loud. One guy next to us told us to "sssh!" and one of the guys working there yelled at us across the room to be quiet!
That bugs me, because obviously we go out to these bars to watch the game, and you know that if it were a Germany game, they would have no problem with fans being loud! But we ignored the reprimands, since I say if there's one time it's OK to be a loud American, it's cheering your country's underdog soccer team!
