World Cup Final - Italy vs France

[aitzaz]

u know what was the best part for me in the last night!!!! ***Shakira*** much better than the match

 

[Indiangod]

If the headbutt had been on his heart, it may have killed the guy. France was the side who played better, but Italy at the end won it, the France goal was no penalty.

Hmmm,i think your stretching the realms of reality a little bit there...Well i do have something else to add,adn thats that i thought the refereeing was poor.They allowed for to much cheating;mostly by Italy.

 

[ZexyZahid]

That's actually what I wanted: Italy the World Champion and Zidane the best player of the tournament.

 

[usy]

Italy's defence was top notch best in the tournament. They haven't let through a goal apart from one own goal and Zidane's penalty. That is some effort.

On Zidane most rumours are saying the Italian called him a terrorist hence he reacted. Obviously something was said as Zidane was walking away then suddenly looked back and the head butt occured.

Yeah, I've read that BBC link also by now. I don't think it's appropriate to paste it here. It's on the fourth paragraph.

And Materazzi.

It would very unlikely have killed him, nigh on impossible tbh.

It was a penalty, there was clear contact from Materazzi on Malouda's right heel.

For all you Italy fans out there, I'd just like to point out one thing:

Slightly offtopic this but how the hell did Portugal win the most entertaining team award?

I thought France or Ghana should have won that.

Entirely to the point though. How indeed?
Maybe someone should start an awards thread.

 

[DJ Ager]

I know, Portugal were fairly dull, and their plan was to counterattack, and when they had to "actually play" against France because they went behind, they looked fairly ineffective. Ghana were the most exciting.

Very good point.

What Materazzi said was

1. No
2. You are a liar
3. I hope you family (I can't remember the exact words but something about their death)
4. f off

That was a lip reader. the BBC hired to read Matterazi's lips.
