    So it’s France against Italy.

    Although I think that Italy will win but anything can happen in the final. Italy played very well against Germany. Germany played to its full potential but that first goal came in very late and there was very little time to do something about it. If the match had more time in it then I am sure the German would have marched towards Italy’s goal like a bullet again and again. Back luck!

    France won against Portugal. That wasn’t a surprise. Portugal never looked a big threat through out the whole tournament but they slipped through the net too reach semi-final. France was a surprise also just like when they won the World Cup, the last time in their country. Zidane is looking more and more alive as the contest progresses. He is just like the old French wine that gets mature by the time but sadly he has passed his peak. He is still a football magician and shows some relics of his football wizardry.

    Let’s hope the final is a good one and not one sided.

    I bet on Italy…….

    The way France have played they're gonna have to do something special if the Italians play the way they did against the Germans. As little a threat as Portugal were, France were just hanging on for the whole thing, and with an error prone keeper like Barthez I was worried that Portugal might get back into it.

    Italy would be the favourites I think because the games I've seen France play weren't impressive at all, whereas Italy were pretty much typically Italian and were solid for most of the tournament, then played a great game with Germany to make the final, plus you never know when Barthez can come up with one of his 'specials'.

    As for tomorrows game, hopefully the Germans'll give Portugal a slapping to put them in fourth place. The Germans have had a really good tournament and deserve to finish third. Portugal were a disgrace against France, diving at every opportunity and pretending to be injured to break up play as well. They've been bad for that for the whole tournament, but it was just embarrassing seeing players like Ronaldo and Postiga to be flying around the penalty area claiming for fouls. It is clearly a significant part of their game plan (put in place by the manager), and for Ronaldo to have the nerve to say the ref was biased against Portugal after the game was pretty exasperating considering non of the Portuguese were booked for diving. I really hope he pisses off to La Liga now...the Spanish league is just built for divers and melodramatics like him.

    Christiano Ronaldo's gonna have a difficult time back in England when he goes back to Man Utd. Don't see him staying in the EPL for long after what he's done in the World Cup.

    I doubt he'll return to England, he'll probably have to go and play in some other country.

    ^C. Ronaldo has said that he will stay in Man U and that he couldn't see himself anywhere else. I pesonally can't wait to see the Man U fans boo the sh!t out of him!

    Glad to see Kahn in goal today, he had some great saves. Overall, Germany looked good and too bad they went down to Italy (IMO). Nice to see a hat trick as well.
    Tomorrow should be a defensive battle, we'll see if Italy can truimph Zizou's golden boot!

    It's not really that important if C. Ronaldo wants to return, the imporant part is if Manchester United wants him back. This is pretty much the same situation as that Korean dude that was kicked off the team in the Italian league after the World Cup in 2002.

    OT in the Finals

    France has been faster and on the attack more towards the end of regulation. Italy needs to strike quick in OT if they want to win.

    God, American sportscasters don't do soccer matches very well at all...

    edit - Zidane headbutted that Italian as hard as he could directly in the chest when he thought the refs weren't looking. Buffon and Gattuso on Italy saw it and the ref was right to go over, confirm it, and pull that red card.

    What a shitty note to finish your career on, specially for a player like Zidane.

    What a moron, great way to end your career Zizou. :P

    I would have liked him to end his career on a high, but it'd be pretty funny if his stupidity ruined it for him.

    About Ronaldo, after the Germany game he said he wants to go to either Barca or Real since no-one in Manchester had stood up for him (although Alex Ferguson suggested he fully hoped and expected him to stay).

    Well deserved Italy, good pens. France were unlucky with that one missed pen, don't think the sending off made a great difference, but its amazing that Zidane just completely lost it and that headbutt will totally stain his reputation. Whatever Materazzi said, you can't justify nutting someone (especially with that force).

    Was I the only one cracking up after seeing that headbutt? Don't get me wrong, I was rooting for Italy, but for such a player to go to such lengths to injure an opponet was just hilarious to me. However, while I doubt the refs even saw the headbutt, rather than see it on screen as replay, though I agree with the call, he was completely out of line, and may have cost France a better chance at the PKs.

    Kudos to Italy, didn't miss a single PK. For number 20 on France....sorry man, you got unlucky with that ball hitting the post.


    LaZie made this...a long time ago.

    Trezeguet beat Italy with a golden goal in Euro 2000. However, it was because of him that Italy won on the penalty kicks this time. Sweet Irony

    Zidane played a great game but seriously what a retard! He wasnt even allowed to come up and collect his medal. It must suck to be him.

    The penalty early on was kinda of harsh but the Italians bounced back with a goal from materazzi, of all people. Another possible VALID penalty that could have been given to france wasn't because the referee was doubting his first decision. So things balanced themselves out. Henry played really well and i was quite surprised he was taken off. But seriously, i think Zidane just killed his teams chance to win, especially since they were giving it to the Italians at that stage.

    So woohooo! The Italians are world champions and i am off to celebrate!!!

    So Italy won the world cup.

    The first penalty was harsh but Italy never lost their nerve. The first half went to Italy and they played very well and gave France a hard time but France bounced back in the second half.

    What Zidane did was pure madness. Such a talented player and to do a thing like that especially on his way to retirement, that was a shame. I don’t know what took over him. Without him and Thierry, France didn’t have any chance.

    Italy did what was expected from them in the penalties and took the cup.

    Congratulations!!!!!!

    This is the game that I didnt want to miss and I end up missing it since I had to go on a picnic. I had rewatch everything from Internet except the penalties which I really wanted to see. Why did Zidane do that? That italian player must have really said something to get a headshot from Zidane.

    Oh well... But France really deserved to win... Good luck next time withou Zidane.
