Italy!

It doesn't really matter to me, as long as the game is good, but I think Italy are a better team.

Germany for third place.

Obfleur · Post by **Obfleur** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 11:57 am

Italy wins + Germany and Portugal draw at 90 minuters = Rich Obfleur

I read that Ballack, Per Mertesacker and Arne Friedrich are out.
Also: Tim Borowski injured his foot during training

And Portugal will still be playing without a striker/forward.

I hope Zidane wins, the rest.... I dont care.

But I expect a good match, this WC was somewhat a dissapointment.

That was a great WC.

So.....anyone want to explain exactly what was going through Zidane's mind? That was one serious head butt.

football>hockey.

It's the dead ******* truth. It's got more personality, it's got more drama... it's just lovely.

I don't know much about either, but I know which I prefer.

That was the most awesomest sending off ever!

Comedy gold. Zizou, we love you!

A penalty that shouldn't have been given... an equaliser from a corner that went out of play... the greatest red card ever... French people crying...

Who could ask for anything more?

From Wikipedia:
His career ended on a sour note when he received a red card and was ejected after headbutting Italy's Marco Materazzi in the chest in the 110th minute. He was the fourth person to have been sent off in a World Cup final and the first to be sent off during extra time. The game ended in a 1-1 draw and Italy won the championship after a penalty kick shootout. His team members later reported to French media that Zidane was reacting to a racial slur from Materazzi. The Italian side has catagorically denied that Materazzi had any role in the provocation of Zidane.

Ooh the drama.

Anyone know the media source? I couldn't find it in the links...

Obfleur · Post by **Obfleur** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 7:03 am

I heard that Materazzi said something nasty about Zidanes mother

saysadie · Post by **saysadie** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 7:08 am

I think it's all overblown and it was just a friendly little love-butt, personally.

"Dude, feel the top of my head! I just shaved... sweet, huh?"

ok - that gets right on my tits.

Yes, Sven is a nonce, but if you are going to complian, do it when it is going to make a difference you bunch of nancies - not after the event.

Especially Lampard, who lets not forget - was utter ****. I bet he won't go as far as to say, "Yeah, Sven is aright plank, he should have dropped me as i was turd".

"Oh, yeah, we all know Sven was rubbihs, and, caring so much about England and English footnall, we all... said nothing until he had moved on. We're heroes really".

tits.

Zidane is a nutter yes, but I have to know what the Italian said to him!

Pissin' Poonani · Post by **Pissin' Poonani** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 10:52 am

I'm glad you all think it's so funny-is it still funny now that it transpires he killed singer Sophie Ellis Bextor in his hotel room in a drunken rage after the final?

Apparently, it was 'murder on Zidanes floor'.

I am so sorry.

"He told me Materazzi said something very serious to him but he wouldn't tell me what," agent Alain Migliaccio told BBC Five Live Sport."

pfft.

I cant quite imagine what would need to be said to rile a player of his experience. Im pretty sure he must have heard every wind up on a football pitch in his time, racist or whatever... im facsinated to find out.

Post by **Best First** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 4:36 pm

i'm sure it will come out soon enough.

or at least something will - the truth it may not be.

rumours i am hearing is that he also got his nip tweaked.

owzies.

Just before the headbutt, mazzi tweaks Zizzys nipple, Zi laughs and they both smile...
Maz says somthing else and Zi turns and headbutts him.
