Celebrating the World Cup

So Spain won in over time (or "extra time") as they say in FIFA-land, 1-0.  Here in Toronto, people were celebrating.  The crowds weren't as crazy as when Canada won gold in hockey, but still mad.  It's interesting, how OTT the celebrating was, though, considering that the Spanish (as in descendants from Spain) community here isn't that big compared with, say, Italians.  I was actually expecting quite a quiet World Cup here after Italy and Brazil were kicked out.
