The (World) Cup runneth over...

...into the streets.

I was on my way back from Duke's Cycle, where I ordered a new headset (ah yes... the bike will be built) and I noticed that I could hear the Grand Prix down on the Lakeshore.
I was heading north on Euclid, pushing to reach College before the penalty kicks from the World Cup were finished - I could hear the race all the way up.
I reached College, just as Italy nailed their last penalty to take their fourth World Cup title while denying France their second.
As soon as that ball crossed the goal line, I could no longer hear the race. People spilled off of patios and into the streets, flags were waving, chaos ensued.

Going to be a fun evening.
