72. I stayed home for it, but yes,
you could hear shouts and cheering from people's homes. We were in Geneva during the final. Watched it on the hotel tv. The Italians and Italian/Swiss were in the streets with flags waving all evening.

I'm also a fan of Brazil. Actually met (well, got his autograph and gazed admiringly - ok stared and drooled) Leonardo from the Brazilian team at a bar in Fulleron, CA in 1994. The team was staying in a hotel at Cal State Fullerton and the sportsbar was across the street. Leonardo was out of the final for elbowing a guy on the US team and he popped into the bar shortly after the game.

Agree with all you say here and I am in the LIHOP zone myself.
