The game suddenly came alive in the last few minutes of the second overtime. Wife supports Italy, but I think that is because we are in Italy.
Outside, we can hear the hooting and hollering from our hotel room; wife wants to see it with her own eyes. We step outside and the streets are full of people waving the Italian flag. Some are screaming, some are crying tears of joy. There are cries of "Italia! Italia!" everywhere. Waiters outside restaurants are hugging each other; some are talking excitedly into their cellphones. A few boys are banging on drums. The streets of Florence are alive and happy and tonight everybody is celebrating Italy's victory over Germany in the World Cup semi-final.
