france loses

what happened? did france forfit?

its okay

its not unsual for them

lol, that last one was a good one.

as sad as it was.

i say fair play to zidane. Materazzi goaded him, knowing he would get a response. The best thing for Zidane to have done would've been to ignore him, but the second best thing was what he did.

I made a new thread on the "aftermath" of it all just b/c there was so much to say and they had a small press release on the matter. Take a look if anyone's interested.

What Zidanne did was disgraceful and it will always live with him, I am sure of it. If he had kept his composure he could've helped his team to the cup, but no.

Italy won because they are pure class. Letting in 2 goals all world cup, 1 own goal, 1 penalty kick. They're defence was clutch as hell. They're hole team was so deep. the first 8 goals were scored by 8 different players or something like that. Even with the scandel goin on in ITaly and the player who attempted suicide Italy still pulled through. They deserved it more. The better team won.
