Yes, u got it. Ppl say Azzurri played like crap. However, excuse me, then France could not be able to win a crappy, everage team. Do those ppl think France deserves the title? Once they could not decide the result by themselves, don't say anything else.

who said azzurri played like crap ? ask him / her to come speak to me :mad:

i think france played like crap instead. zidane iwas so violent but still i have to thank him! merci zidane. you did a great job. the PK given by the referee to the french team was crap. from what i saw , it was the french player who tripped over his own feet! :mad:

there goes buffon clean sheet :mad:

oh who cares anyway now. azzurri won the world cup 4 times,

brazil , we're coming!! :cool:

Congrats to all Italy players :d they deserved it after all and how to win they said on tv when it comes to penaltys than Italy will be the loser but always had faith in the players and than Materazzi comes on and I thought now were done!! But he played excellent and his penalty was magnificent so Grazie Materazzi but especially Grazie Cannavaro, Grazie Pirlo

Like I said in my post, any team who will win the game will make me happy (as long as it’s not England). So I won’t comment on the game.

What was Zidane thinking. Last ever game in his career, the biggest possible game in any player’s playing career and he did a very stupid thing. Absolute madness (although I didn’t think had he stayed on the field France would’ve done any better in the penalty kick). I know he stomped a Saudi Arabian player in WC 98 and got sent off in some CL games when he was in Juve and he might be provoked by Materazzi but this is beyond any comprehension and his glorious career will be forever remembered by this sad moment of madness. He was not even allowed to get his runner-up medal. So sad.

And we have to remember that the ref and his two assistants didn’t see the incident and it was only after the 4th or 5th assistant referred to the video replay that the ref flashed the red card. This means that incidents in an on-going match can be decided by video replays and will ushered in a new era.

Italy finally had their revenge on Trezeguet, after firing that golden goal in Euro 2000, he’s the one giving them the biggest loot of all. I am happy Italy won but I am more saddened with Zidane ending his career that way.

accordin' to Fifa... it was the 4th official that witnessed the incident with his own eyes... not on video... only the 5th official had video source... don't just take in the words of an apparently unhappy Henry... who we all know learnt the act of excuse makin' while plyin' his trade in the blame-everyone-but-yourself-or-your-team-when-you-lose-syndrome of the English...

Thats a perfect description of his charateristics

I am the happiest person in the world together with all Italia supporters....

Congratulations to all of you ... Great game... Could be better display by Italia, but who cares, we are the world champions....

FORZA AZZURI GRAZIE

Bravo to the Azzurri and to the French Butt-Head.

Gatorbasu · Jul 10, 2006

Congratulations AZZURI. How the hell in the world, METTARAZZI kept his cool where as ZIZOU got a red card ??

I guess, that says it all. I am completely stunned with the calmness and patience of METTARAZZI in both the SEMI and FINALE of the this world cup.

To be completely honest, I would have the last person to think that METTARAZZI can keep his cool but he did !! BRAVO !!

Actually name 1 time when he lost his cool...All those 'tackles' on Sheva, Pippo, Kaka and everybody else arent in anger...It's just cuz he's careless outside his own box.

Zidane could have went for the nose or knee and injured cow till next next season.... that way at least Gila would be safe during derbys .. <_<

Funny !!

But I tell you though, if METTARAZZI keeps playing the way he did in last two games of this WC, then he would become one of the best central defenders of the game !! And in that case, he becomes more effective and less harmful physically to strikers such as GILA.

But that is what I don't want. Now that we got the WC, let METTARAZZI go back to his old self being reckless and sloppy and stupid !!

Forza MILANO !!

It is really unfortunate but as you pointed out, this is not the first time ZIDANE has done something like this.

Being touted as one of the best ever to play this sport, he should have way much more class than what he did on the field !! Too bad for him to end his career in this way !!

In soccernet.com I read some article about Zidane's headbutt that goes something like this:

"Had he stayed on the pitch and France won the World Cup, he will join the pantheon of Pele and Maradona as the greatest ever players in the history of soccer. But his stupidity confined him only to the same level with players like Platini, Cruyff and Beckenbauer. Not a bad finish but he could've done better."

How true.

how much did you win ?

I won 200 euro. And my wager was 10 euro. So I think a good deal.

I wish I could invest this money in a party together with all of you.

Zambrotta: For Pessotto

Italy star Gianluca Zambrotta dedicated the World Cup victory to Gianluca Zambrotta after his side defeated France on penalties to win the tournament on Sunday night.

Pessotto is in a serious but stable condition in hospital after an apparent suicide attempt.

“Clearly the victory is dedicated to Pessotto,” said Zambrotta of his former Juventus team-mate.

“He’s going through a difficult moment in his life and this is more important than a World Cup. He is our friend and we hope to sit at his bedside telling him in person that this was all for him.”

Yes, this world cup is for Pessotto.
He deserves it.
I hope he will be very happy when he hear that.

I wish him all the best.

Pessotto, we are with you.

I hoped not to see these teams in final. but reality is different. So I am really very happy that Italy, not France became World cup winner ;>
cobgratulations to Italy national team fans

Fiore · Jul 11, 2006

One of leading football experts Marco Madzocco, after a match, not without some irony has summed up: "We are glad for French players, in fact their compatriot Pierre de Coubertin once said, that the main thing is not a victory, but participation. And to us, Italians, only victory has given us the pleasure!"

It doesn't matter anymore what Matrix said to Zizou, no matter what he said, Zizou shouldn't have behaved in a violent way like that. I agree that the referees were not allowed to use the video as an evidence while the match was still going on, but Zizou's fault deserved a red card and he did.
