Second Floor Common Room, Sunday Morning

Conner bolted back upstairs after basketball practice and got ready for the World Cup final. As a result of his conversation with Nadia from Friday, he was dressed -- if one could call it that -- for the occasion in what was essentially an Italian-flag loincloth, and red, green, and white body paint.

Nobody was in the second floor common room, so he hijacked it for the cool TV and got comfortable (standing, because body paint) before the game started.

France vs. Italy. Plus, Julie Foudy at halftime. Last night might have been a fiasco, but today life was good.

"I can't but agree with your assessment," Peter told him. "I wish you luck with the apologising though I couldn't blame the lady if she chose not to accept it. And yes, I think you're right. Think that's because France is annoying most of the time?"

"I wouldn't blame her either," Conner replied. "Me personally? I'm just going with Italy to go along with Nadia. I kind of have a soft spot for Zidane, though."

Peter figured that Conner had probably been chastised enough over the issue and dropped it. "I thought I'd carry on the fine British tradition of cheering against France. Though from what I've been reading, I rather have a soft spot for him as well. He's a great leader."

Conner nodded. "Yeah, as far as athletes go, he's definitely one of my heroes. Actually I'd say he's a role model for me in a bunch of ways. Still, wouldn't want you to go against fine British tradition, so up Italy, huh?"

"I've also been convinced on account of their pizza. I'm just hoping there's a good match and Zidane doesn't get a RED CARD WTF," Peter said with a grin.

"Yeah, me too and I KNOW OMGWTF. I really hope it doesn't come down to another stupid shootout," Conner agreed.

Little did he know. Woe.

"It would be just wrong for the champion to be determined by a shootout," Peter said like he could predict the future or something. Woe indeed.
