First let me say how shocked I was when I saw donadoni during the game. I cant believe how old he has gotton, which also means how old I have gotton. I dont think I hav seen him since the early 1990s. I still think of him as the guy who scored that magnificent goal in the 5-0 trashing of Real Madrid in the 89 champions league.
Now to the spain-Italy game. I was watching the game in a bar and while I was waiting for the penalty shootout to start I took out a receipt I had gotton the day before out of my pocket to see how much the total was and I noticed that the time on the receipt was 17:17:17 (meaning 5:17 Pm and 17 seconds). somehow it felt weird like the #s had a meaning for me. All of a sudden I rememberd they day after Italy lost to Argentina in a penalty shoot out of the 1990 semifinals, keyhan varzeshi ahd this article about how #17 is like #13 in Italy and how people hated that # becasue it was a bad omen. Roberto donadoni's # was 17 and his missed penalty eliminated the italians. As I was reminiscing, I lifted my head and saw donadoni on the screen. Right then I just KNEW the italians were done!
It was 18 years after that game. Now if it only was 17 years later the spookiness would have been perfect
