OK, I'm officially nervous now

I was a bit tight during the last ten minutes of the Brazil game. My alarms went off when Sneijder said that they were going to bring the Cup home after winning a quarter final! I felt a little bit better against Uraguay when Giovanni decided to make an appearance. (Note: this is an absolute good thing! Two people who should not get noticed on a pitch are referees and left-backs. Was that his first shot of the tournament?!). I felt nervous excitement as we crept ahead 2-1 and elation when we went to 3-1. Now here is where my "diehard Red Sox bad karma mojo" kicks in. I am actually more optimistic being behind than in front. No team prior to 2004 could kick you harder in testes than the Red Sox. Since they won it all in 2004 I considered myself a recovering panicker but this run by the Dutch team has taken me out of remission. I tried to explain this in one of my first post here. Fans of Holland and New Zealand should understand a bit of what I'm saying about World Cup Semi-Finals but some people prior to the match always see it half full where I see it half empty.
Anyways, bad mojo kicked me hard in the groin area as soon as Robben missed that sitter 5 minutes from time by trying to be too cute and then getting taken off smiling and hugging his coach,assistant coaches,bench,trainers,photographers,4th referee,groupies and ball boys. Bad karma for me all around really. I didn't need the last 5 minutes of that game at that moment in my life.
We are through and that is a good thing. I hope actually that we get Germany. The karmic ramifications are huge. I don't need to go on about what they are but just don't mention the war. '74 is good enough for me.In 2004, the Red Sox had to go through this when they came back from 3-0 down to the Yankees. Holland needs Germany to be there or not? I'm off on Monday (game time at 0630 here) which is a bit of a bummer. I always feel guilty drinking at 0700 but I feel I'll need a few. I'm going to invoke the "Bloody Mary Rule" which is the only acceptable drink that can be had before noon. What happens after that, I feel, will be up to Van Bommel,Sneijder and Van Persie (oh God no!).
