I'm sorry. :(

I was thinking of you throughout the match.

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :(

What the hell happened???

Getting drunk sounds like a great idea

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

What happened is that France played their asses off and Brazil...didn't.

*drowns self in booze*

[andrea--88.livejournal.com]

Yeah France did play their asses off
but man what a shocker
Wow

*pours drinks*

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

Damn. Still smarting from '98. But to be knocked out this early - ouch, that's worse.

*glug*

[andrea--88.livejournal.com]

Yes I am sure many people are stunned by this upset
way too early for Brazil to be eliminated
Wow I was positive Brazil would win it all
Now I have to focus on my one remaining team

*Hands Vulgarweed another drink*

I suspect if you could hear the earth from space, there'd be a cloud of horrified silence over a very large chunk of South America.

I got no dog in this fight anymore, but I'll watch anyway. Hell, maybe France - if they had to beat us, they damn well better prove themselves the best!

*appreciates. Toasts fatalistically.*

[andrea--88.livejournal.com]

Yes I agree with the horrified silence
I still can't believe it
Well if Italy beats Germany them I'll root for France

*toasts with Vulgarweed*

Is it too early to plan for 2010?

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

NEVER too early to plan for 2010! (for those of us who've lost anyway)

[andrea--88.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Then I shall start planning
Watch out for the Aussies in 2010! ;o)

I can't believe it. My son even had his Brazil shirt on. (my husband got it in Sao Paulo last week.) I feel terrible.

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

I just got off the phone with my parents. They're NOT happy. :( Well, I hope your husband had a good trip anyway.

*pats*

Can't say it was undeserved, though. Brazil just didn't seem to try as much as France.

And man, Zidane was gold today.

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

*thanks*

Oh, I don't think anyone is saying it was undeserved. France was on fire, Brazil was on autopilot. And somehow, somewhere in there, I'm just a little bit happy for Zidane.

[ex-ms-katoni171.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. My deepest sympathies, I know exactly how you feel.

There's some gin left if you want it. We've all gone beyond the gin stage and headed for the vodka.

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

Ah, the pungent alcohol reek of commiseration. Thanks much, and gin would be lovely.

[tyellas.livejournal.com]

My condolences to you y todo Brasilia, hon. Do you care about the Cup anymore? I'm trying to figure out if Argentina is still in the running...

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

Obrigada! I imagine I'll keep watching, but it's not quite the same as actually caring. Argentina's out, BTW, they were eliminated by Germany a few days ago. So the semifinals are all European.

[tyellas.livejournal.com]

Oh, how boring. Bleah. I will then join Brazil and England in getting drunk.

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

I can't even muster the caring to find a team to root against yet. *swigs*

[elentari-valie.livejournal.com]

*waves drink and sloshes caipirinha all around*

*pours another one*

Thought I should get wawsted with you.

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

ah yes, yes. Was saving that to celebrate too.

I hate this.

[elentari-valie.livejournal.com]

And you know what's worse? We'll be insecure in every.fucking.match. against France for the next 4 or 8 years.

God. If I didn't know for sure it was bad planning and utter stubborn incompetence, I'd say it was witchcraft.

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

Was it insecurity this time? I think overconfidence...well, no more of that! Pathetic.

I'd think that too, except Brazil should rightfully have it all over France in the praying-and-mojo department.

[blueeyedtigress.livejournal.com]

Ouch. Gee, V., that stinks -- here was me looking forward to a proper showdown between Brazil and England. We could get companionably drunk together instead, but it's a poor second to the original scenario ...

*rummages in freezer* Wanna chocolate martini?

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

We could get companionably drunk together and try to kick the ball around ourselves.

The idea of a chocolate martini is disturbing to me, but never let it be said I'm not adventurous!

[blueeyedtigress.livejournal.com]

And I answered me, instead of you -- I haven't had *that* many chocolate martinis! 8?

[blueeyedtigress.livejournal.com]

That would guarantee a win for Brazil over England, since my knees are bloody *shot*.

If you don't feel like chocolate martinis, I have chilled sake. Yeah, yeah, it just happens to be what I have in the freezer right now. Um ... there's a bottle of Screech on the bookshelf, but it's meant for a friend of a friend. And there are a couple of Single Malt Scotches hidden away. (Adds to grocery list: need to get more wine into the house ....)

[blueeyedtigress.livejournal.com]

Y' know, it just occurred to me ...... if this thing finishes up with Portugal against France, it might just be a sign of yet another Apocolyptic Incursion.

[limegreen-sloth.livejournal.com]

We Aussies are still smashed from last week. Welcome to the funeral party. I think there's still a bottle or two around here somewhere, don't mind the bodies huddled weeping on the floor.

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

Aw, you guys have been in mourning so much longer. It's nice of you to be so welcoming. I hope the hungover folks don't mind the samba beats--even when we're depressed, we can't help it.
