After Italy vs Ukraine

Was around 1:50 am after Germs won the shootout ... went for food but couldnt see a cab ... get a cab ... call a cab ... to get outta of Robertson Walk ... so have to settle for the stalls along M Sultan ...

Wanted to get home to "show hand" on the italy match !! but then ... 4.5 mil singaporeans ... 1.5 mil above 20 yrs of age ... assuming 50% are out ... so we have 750,000 people out ... assuming some went home early ... have car ... still not going home ... we have still say 20% of 750,000 ... 150,000 out there calling for a cab !!!!!!

Gave up ... found a place Vino Vino ... sofa seats ... one big screen ... Free coffee after 2 am ...

I must say ... the free coffee ... quite decent ...

And now i know why the chicken wings was recommended ... 3 wings and 3 drumlets at $8.50 ... good deal worr ... for Vino Vino of course :)

Sofa was too comfortable ... doze people off ... I managed to stay awake ... Italians has the better of the first half ... with zambrotta scoring a great goal ... nice touch from totti setting him up in space to run at ukraine defenders before unleashing a shot thru the defender's legs

Rest of the first half was a non-event as ukraine try to get a foothold on the game ...

Ukrainians pour forward in the second half to grab an equalizer ... some magnificent saves from Buffon deny them a goal ... Italians consolidate and totti curl a delicious ball towards toni for him to head in his first world cup goal ...

Just 1 min later ... toni tapped in zambrotta great play on the left ... beating 2 defenders before laying off to toni ...

Toni ( in the picture ) obviously delighted after scoring twice during the match ....

Rest of the game was just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle !
