Italy has won its fourth World Cup today, during a 1-1 game that went into penalty kicks (the most terrible way to end any major game). We knew the game was over when the neighborhood went crazy - cheering, honking horns, just enjoying the win on a beautiful summer's day. While the Italians should rightly celebrate, the big question will be what the eff was Zinedine Zidane thinking when he got red carded in the final minutes?
Here's the final match report. Now, we can go back to the Project Runway Season One marathon on Bravo.
And if you went to a World Cup watching party, we hope you had a drink for us!
