Don't get me wrong, I hate Materazzi, but what Zidane did was just plain stupid. "Righteously knocked down", give me a brake dude, like Zidane is so high and mighty that when you call his sister a "whore" he has the right the give a headbut...
BTW: did you stop supporting Brzail after Rivaldo dived against Turkey? Probably not eh...
Zidane's plain was really stupid but Materazzi got righteously knocked down. Plus, Zidane's mother was in the hospital and Materazzi also sweared her. I think that would be a better plain to kick his ass after the game and not just a headbull, a strong kick on his ankle would be better.
Materazzi is one of the dirtiest players ever. He always knew how to ignore the ball and hit his adversaries without being red carded and this WC final was the perfect way to sum up his career, an adult man insulting his adversarie family just to make himself pissed off.
No, I didn't stop supporting Brazil against Turkey and I didn't stop supporting Italy against Australia in 2002. Remember?
And how am I being one sided in Zidane x Materazzi case? Zidane kicked Brazil's ass very hard twice in WC. Do you realize that no matter what side I deffend, you could say I'm one sided?
Are you kidding me ?
Forget about Ghana did you watched Japan ?
Dont know what they will do next but for sure they have my full attention.
Their determination deserve respect & my love for African teams to do good went deservedly for asians & specially Japan.
I think if they were given as much attention as Africans they will do much better considering their mentality is a lot stronger with so more determination/professionalism/dedication.
Italy suck on their own without a reason.
But am curious you know this about Spain ?
I mean what game were they put on test + sucked big times ?
Or better when has Italy faced a strong team & they controlled the game ?
Your point is about wining in style & Spain have much more style than Italy ever had.
Efficient game & you might have a point but mentioning style & Italy scream wrong.
Are you serious? "Ever"? Lol.
Italy sucked this WC but that didn't happen because they lacked of balls. Spain NEVER HAD balls.
What you mean with style? Spain don't even have a culture of football. What they have is what south-americans teach to them. In Barcelona's case they have what the dutches teach to them and now they're trying to use it in their NT.
Nah, offsides are measured by the closest ball playing part of the body. So anything other than Arms and Hands really.
But this does prove that Quagliarella wasn't offside.
In that case I think that he was offside.
