Those eyes.......
Full of HOPE......
Full of ANTICIPATION....
Full of FEAR......
Those hands clasped tightly in prayer.... millions of them....
ITA-0 AUS-0 TIME-89:55
TOTTI in front of the goalpost.... last 5 seconds... penalty kick.... the only bridge
between "VICTORY" and "DEFEAT" .......
And all i could see were those "EYES" ....
A nanosecond...... "Splash"......truth smeared onto the faces of the australians....they
lose... eyes full of tears....
And eyes gleaming with "pride".......with the taste of victory.....with happiness..... TOTTI running on the field.... people embracing...... euphoria..... Italy did it...
I just wonder what it's like to be in the shoes of these men....bearing the hopes of the nation they represent.... what its like to win a game...when you've almost lost it... what its like to fly on that field and see those "eyes"....that bank on you....that surrender your hope to you....
Amazing fight by the australians...... but one question here Dear God.... Didn't they pray hard enough? Why did they lose? Did you control any of it?
I guess GOD has kept the receiver off the hook...... and my time is running out....

the only thing that separated australia from a well deserved win was the satanic intervetion of the referee. just goes to prove that certain things are beyond control. the italians knew they were lucky but the aussies shud'nt lose heart. they know it in their hearts that they deserved to win and they won many hearts but i guess that doesn't make it rosy.
