Shoot out! I want to see this go down just like 1994. Remember Baggio???
NegativeSpace
(Jul 9 06, 12:56)I was chanting Baggio at the bar I was at, where I was seemingly the only Les Bleus supporter (vocally at least) once the game was decided to go to PKs.
My buddy called from the game to say how bullshit the call with Zidane was as the refs were looking at the screens throughout the stadium on replay, not one of them saw it initially.
No Italias would stand behind their team enough to bet on them that were present. Though I did meet an older gentleman from Italy who said he admired my hatred and ability to mask it with humour.
I tried my hardest to make the game almost unwatchable for them, and ripped my shirt off the second I saw Italia was wearing their bleu.
I barely have a voice left.
Good Cup, horrible ending.

Theres speculation that Zidane head butted him because the other guy called him a terrorist.
Zidane is half arab or something.
Crazy..

(Jul 9 06, 19:31)sad but true
although i was rootng for italy i dont feel any enthusiasm...
there's no team other than germany that didnt deserve it more...

italy didnt play better than france but didnt steal anything... same for zizou who is not new to violent acts like this one, he will still remain the best player to watch of the past 20 yrs...
saying that, i'm glad it's all over see ya in 4 years in SAfrica!

jevad, you blame the italians but what did the french do to deserve it? they fake a penalty too against portugal.

It's like...how much worse could a World Cup Final be...and the answer is none...none more worse.
It was never 'may the best team win'...but more a question of...may the lesser of two evils win. And they didn't.
All tournament long the slimy Italians dived, argued, and scraped their way through.
Pretty much the most undeserving win ever.
Rubbish.

And by the way we are the real CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD.
Not like the NFL team that wins the superbowl, and call themselves World champions.

well, Italy didn't convinced me (esp. with the game against australia), but they surely made a nice job against the french. Congrats.

quickly translated interviews from french papers
------
After the game, Jean-Pierre Escalettes saw "a sad man" in the cloakroom. "I do not have an explanation to ask him, explained the president of the FFF. The gesture of Zidane did not have an influence on the final result. I neither want to judge or blame him, he's a sad and affected man, one should not shoot at the artist ".
According to Raymond Domenech, on TF1: "we missed him during the twenty last minutes already. That weighed heavy in the balance. It's too bad".In a previous interview with Canal +, the coach had been more reserved. "To make him end this way, it's sad. He had a great career, a great world cup. When one takes blows like he did for 1h20 and the referee says nothing, one can understand. You can't excuse, but you can understand".

i never liked Materazzi, proof was the game against the usa.

I only find it strange that a experienced player like Zidane acted that way when:
#1 he's the captain
#2 he knows the outcome of such action
#3 the game will soon end, to be decided in PK, where is presence would surely be decisive
#4 it's the final. the goddamn fucking final.
either way. congratulazioni Italia.

Crouwel, I love you man..

Viva Zidane!
- letters0
don't be a cunt now, letters.
yes he deserved it, but you are calling him a fool. he is fucking only human like us all. have you ever played under the pressure of a world cup with all the emotions?
he's been punished.but he will always be remembered as one of the greatest players ever.
viva zidane!
Crouwel
(Jul 9 06, 14:44)Yes, a great player.
But yes, a fool.
He was the captain of the french team, if anyone has the responsibility of not being such an unsportsman-like ass, its the captain.
He's a fool.
