Dont ever call it soccer! It's football. It wasn't invented by america, so why must you be different and call it something shit like soccer!
- k0na_an0k0
eh... i saw it on espn video and i couldn't believe the other guy dropped to the ground like that and writhed in pain.
sorry... but that's being a sissy.

in the end, regardless how much I admire Zidane, I have to agree that he lost the psychological game, wich is almost as important as the game itself.
still, I think that this will only 'spice up' the collective memory regarding Zidane.

(Jul 10 06, 06:26)haha. also i should mention we (americans) already have a sport called football. and when you get hit bad in football and get carted off the field you 99.9% of the time don't come running back in 1 minute later like nothing happened.

you can compare their mental toughness...yes, yes you can!which i think Zidane has but not on the level of Jordan or Pele for that matter. I just cannot see them doing what he did no matter what was said to them. that is the only point i am trying to make.

(Jul 10 06, 06:20)i still beg to differ. i would like to know whatever materazzi said, or if zidane intimidated him first (what materazzi's father seems to believe..).
in some cases you will not be able to control yourself in the heat of the moment. but then a really really offensive thing must have been said against you..

(Jul 10 06, 06:30)You also have to get dressed up in armour and run around playing "football" with the ball in your hands.
Fuds.
- Engage0

This sums it up nicely:

(Jul 10 06, 06:30)That starts making sense, even Chirac says nothing happened.

(Jul 10 06, 06:29)good on Chirac. I mean, why would you, if you are the highest ranked diplomat, immediatly put the blame on someone, or even have the guts to say what REALLY happened if the facts are still under the table?
In terms of politics i think it was a wise answer.

Wow, I can't believe we made it through the entire World Cup before the futbol/football comments came flying out, haha.
