藍精靈

Next Sunday, it will be the Final between the 藍精靈 (lán jing líng - literaly blue fairy elves, Smurfs in English, Schtroumpfs in French) from France and the ones from Italy. We know this since today 5:00AM (Beijing time) after the French won the semi-final against Portugal thanks to a penalty from Zidane.

If I understood correctly, the Italian will be the real Smurfs while the French will have to get dressed in white. Anyway, the only thing I’m sure of is that The Pavillon (a bar near GongTi 工体, just opposite to Baby Face) will be overcrowded and a lot of people will sleep on their keyboard on Monday… Indeed, the game will start at 2:00AM!

    I think the game starts at 3, the closing ceremony starts at 2!
    Zidane will hold the cup at 5 am monday morning in front of several billion people to say goodbye!
