World Cup Aftermath

[Silverant]

Materazzi flopped when Zidine headbutted him.

With all the flops they do in soccer, you would think it's the NBA.

That's true. And Materazzi got up just fine afterwards. I think the reason he was rolling around on the floor was to get someone to notice.

I didn't like how the ESPN commentators were talking more about the incident than the actual game. Zidane this, Zidane that. It's unfortunate that his sparkling carreer was tarnished. But athletes always clash and emotions run high in all big games. I guess that the sport press is just more concerned about controversy and less about sport.

World Cup Aftermath Well, as I expected, there was a small bit on the incident on ESPN today following the very controversial attack that happened towards the end of OT. Read for yourself. For me, I believe that's probably some of what happened, as well as a lot more jeering back and forth. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=373675&cc=5901 And how about Materazzi's response. It was professional, but at the same time, I can almost sense his sarcasm. And how's that for class, Italian fans? Rating: 5

Man I wish my avatar worked with animation

Materazzi flopped. Wasn't like he charged into him full speed. I'm sure he felt pain, but Materazzi overreacted to get a favorable call. He grabs the left side of his chest when he was directly hit in the middle.

Watching the World Cup made me realize flopping isn't just a problem in the NBA.

oh theres no denyin he exaggerated

but the intent and pain was there

lmao. ESPN always hypes to make it sound like a big soap opera.

Lol, at the same time, I'm glad Zidane didn't take any shit. He's a badass, albeit not the brightest badass. Plus that replay is awesome. He musta been TICKED.

*passes tbm the bong*

and says now u must say u agree with me to get a toke lol

Ha ha. I'm not even going to touch that one right now. Me and Robert just got done with quite the session.

Maybe another day I'll try and spit out some facts to maybe change the way you look at football.

I will say that where are all the pads like in other sports? No where. It's just a ball, the pitch, and two teams of 11 going at it. It's beautiful.

Until then... : )
