Out.

So, we're out. Croatia beat us. Maybe, if we hadn't failed 3p-throws in a row, during the last quarter, things could have been gone differently, but I'm not going to recriminate.

You see, the match has been GOOD. Adrenaline run high during the whole length of it. At the end of the first half Croatia had started flying away, but we caught up, until we were just one point under. Then, the string of mistakes I mentioned before. But when I had honestly stopped hoping, there they are, still trying, until you just have to start hoping again, 3 minutes from the end, because how can you not when you see Pozzecco run, mark, throw like that? The final 3 minutes lasted much longer than that, the guys sought out every chance to stop the chronometer, took every risk they could, but they just couldn't get the ball to go in. They've fought until the last bloody second. It wasn't their day, Croatia was too much for them, I don't know. The end is history, but I can't say I got up from the couch feeling too disappointed. I've shouted, I've cursed, I've tore at my hair, I've cried (as in "shouted") in joy (even if we were still ten points under. Even then.) The team proved to have heart and courage, as the commentator said more than once, and I agree with him. I'm only sorry that in the end we didn't win, although Croatia's success was deserved; that we got stuck when we shouldn't have; that when we start making mistakes we just can't stop, and we feel obligated to show the entire inventory; and that I didn't record the match. :P

Hence, the sketch. Done this morning in an hour and something, so I'm sorry if it's not terribly refined. (Took a few liberties here and there, like the basket ball which is the new one, and the second player that I left out, but I really didn't have time for him too. :P) Oh, and that's Basile. The link to the reference is under the picture.



Now, I've only left hoping that we'll get the wild card to enter next year's mondials in Japan, and that they won't stop transmitting the matches. :)

You're too adorable for words. I love the sketch, but love you more.

MWAH!

Well, they WERE good.

Actually, you're lucky. Had they won the whole tournament there would have been no holding me. :P

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

But I'd have been happy for you! :D Good luck to them, for your sake. ;)

Also, your icon just cracked me the hell up.

And if one thinks of a certain victory as a cookie...


...really, someone should pay attention on their journey back home. *evil cackle*
