Edit:
I removed the embedded link of the last 6 shots because I just found out of the rule of maximum 8 images for each thread.

Congratulations, it was a hard-earned victory.

Nice shots of the celebration. I wish I could have been there to feel the excitement as well.

[Leorooster]

Congrats! It's a great match, and a great victory! :)

Very nice shots.......People were celebrating in NYC.....unfortunately I didn't have my cam with me :(

[tiziano]

Thanks Steve and Leorooster!

[beckybun]

Great shots! I like the 2nd one the best.

[Maureen Souza]

Nice captures. But, I am glad I came home before all those folks swarmed the streets.

Thanks Beckybun and Maureen!

Maureen, actually all those folks are the funny part of it! :D
And, given the fact that in Italy we don't drink that much, this people is armless.

Congratulations ! ! ! !

I'm visiting Italy in two weeks time, and I can't wait ! - I'm hoping that the victory celebrations will still be going on when I get there . . . .

Thanks!

Oh well...two weeks of celebrations would be a little bit to much... something like Carnival in Brazil! :D
But don't worry... In Italy on summer, you will find other parties going on! ;)

Neil, your italian is pretty good! :D

ISO 3200 f2.8 does capture the mood of a city at night. Almost feel if I where there. Almost.

[Aray_Of_Art]

One and seven really great! Thanks for sharing the great pics from a beautiful city!
Molto Bene :cool:

...oh, and good game.

Thanks Kemcmanus and Aray_of_art!

Actually it was the first time I used extensively ISO 3200, and I was sorprised for the number of usable shots I got!

[Anthony J Howe]

Your pictures have captured the moment of celebration in good detail and a wide range of people and buildings. You can almost feel the atmosphere as though your were there. Good captures and congrats on winning the world cup.

[tiziano]

Thanks Tony! :D

[BillsBayou]

Looks like a blast. Thanks for the pics.

If the referee had gotten the decision right lets put it this way, ITALY would not have been there.:p:p:p

Grosso should have been carded for diving.
Anyways they are very good photos and you have captured the spirit beautifully.

In Italy we have a saying, that I'll try to translate in my bad english:
" If my grandfather had 7 balls, he would have been a pinball machine " :lol:

That saying means nothing in English I'm afraid.

[neil_r]

That saying means nothing in English I'm afraid.

It is very similar to, "If my aunty had balls she would be my uncle"

I think we all understood what he meant.......;) (i.e. if things had been different they would not be as they are now)

[tiziano]

Thanks Neil! :D
