(sorry for the long AIM-transcript-type-of post)

[09:03] ciababy: r u at work?
[09:03] sun2197: yep
[09:03] ciababy:: u got espn? is it still italy=1 and korea=0?
[09:04] sun2197: not near me
[09:04] sun2197: i got mtv
[09:04] ciababy:: arghhhh japan just lost :/
[09:04] sun2197: yeah….
[09:04] sun2197: imho, korea doesn’t stand a chance either.
[09:04] sun2197: japan shouldn’t have lost, though. they got much better chance than korea….
[09:05] sun2197: btw, still 0-1
[09:05] ciababy:: ah it’s everybody’s game c’mon! argentina lost, turkey just won
[09:05] ciababy:: korea can still win!
[09:06] sun2197: haha, pressing luck, maybe
[09:06] ciababy:: argh why dont we have tv at work ):
[09:07] ciababy:: even if korea makes it, they play spain next and that’s kinda lower chance

then cia started to convince me:

[09:14] sun2197: maybe korea can pull that last minute goal….
[09:14] ciababy:: yeah right :/
[09:14] sun2197: ireland did that
[09:15] ciababy:: no more asians in the game if korea loses! yeeeeh
[09:16] sun2197: hahaha, but then again, there hasn’t been asian in the game like, forever…
[09:16] sun2197: until now. due to the home game advantage
[09:16] ciababy:: arghhhhhhhhh it’s over now ):
[09:16] sun2197: so, its a good thing that both of them were in there.
[09:17] sun2197: already?
[09:17] ciababy:: 4 mins left
[09:17] sun2197: 2 more min
[09:17] ciababy:: ARGHHHHHH
[09:17] sun2197: and we still have injury time!
[09:17] sun2197: with that many fouls, there’s gotta be a long injury time.
[09:18] ciababy:: arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

and it happened:

[09:18] sun2197: goal!
[09:18] sun2197: SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
[09:18] ciababy:: WHAT

[09:20] sun2197: maybe korea can pull it off in the sudden death
[09:20] ciababy:: so it’s 1:1

it reminds me of times back home when World Cup is a big deal, the kids are allowed to stay up late to watch the game. the whole family would sit in front of the TV with blanket and pop corn. except this time: we’re doing everything through the internet…
