It was great to see Portugal winning. They had awful heartbreak in 2004. They now have as many major tournament wins as England.

So many 'Famines' ended this year* .

1. Hibs winning the scottish cup.
over 100 year gap, rank underdogs, rank rotten opposition but mainly for this

2. Cubs winning the world series.
Another 100 year gap, Also it was obvious from a long way out that they were the best team this year but they still nearly effed it up. I went to bed before the 6th inning in game 7 thinking it was done and dusted and missed all the real action.
3. Ireland winning in Chicago.
Taking into account 2 above, what a trip that must have been.
