We (THE IRISH) have our World Cup Final in Phoenix Park at 6 p.m today (18.6.02). (It is now 1.50 am. here) . The amazing thing is that thousands of "FANS" who three weeks ago would have erected a gallows in Phoenix Park to hang Mick McCarthy will be there tomorrow to give him and the BOYS a HERO's Welcome. And of course we have the complainers who think the celebration should be held in Dublin city centre where 100,000 people can congregate around one bus carrying thr heros. My "choice" for the winning team is Italy. They had 4 disallowed goals in two matches, three of which were borderline. Those guys CAN score goals.
