It’s all over! Talk about a draw that feels like a victory for me…wow…nervous moments for me at the end leading to a big sigh of relief.

Oh no…like i said…that silly yellow card for Diarra in game one comes back to haunt him and could be crucial.

Oh shit. Diarra got yellow carded. He’ll miss the next game against IC.

This is going to be a whale of a finish…can’t possibly end 0-0, can it?

Brad — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 21:08:05 +0000

Whew…close call.

Inara — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 21:07:37 +0000

Oh damn, Nigeria’s goal was offside.

Inara — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 21:07:19 +0000

Nigeria look more like nicking a last minute goal.

Read my mind Laurie…and yes, I still think that started right from the opening kick-off.

Not sure exactly what “squeaky bum time” means but I’d say it started from the opening kick-off for Nigeria.

From Wiktionary

squeaky bum time

Etymology
Suggesting that the nervousness induced by such an event causes flatulence.

In case anybody else was sitting there wondering where, exactly, that phrase comes from.

(Sorry. I don’t know why my brain goes off on these tangents like this.)
