world cup 2006 germany

Italian style of winning in footbal is to suffer until the end... In Euro 2000 we deserved the cup and France won, this time France played better but we won. This is the beauty of footbal (they say) and I think it is one of reasons why some countries don't really like it, it's too similar to a game at which we all are amateurs: life

 

And the academy award gos to...........That was some of the best acting i have seen all year...Oh well...Well done for the win...

 

Actually I liked to see that Zidane still has strong emotions on field. Some of the professionals seems to move into zone in where they are in "work". Win or loose, no matter, as far as paycheck arrives in time.

Besides, I don't know what Materazzi said to him....

At least he didn't kick the guy in ground

Christiano Ronaldo. Without a doubt he's the best ever.

 

wtg france ! btw that was a nice trip.
Zizou...u couldn't leave the foot without knock out an Italian .
but the 4th ref is video ref or not?? that is the black point.
lost control was the mistake to not do cause french team had total control of game at this moment. strange as both guys where laughing and suddently with some words, zizou gone out of himself: i'd like to know these words.
bb all old guys who made dream us for many years....

 

WTF, what is it this time?

 

Zidane was, and still is IMHO, one the best 5 players all around the world.
No way to forget his career for that - really really stupid - american football tackle; I'm sure he realized his mistake after few seconds.

BTW, where Blatter was ?

 

You know...
this was his last game, EVER, he already is a hero of the game, he's got the best player award right there in his pocket, there was a 1-1 tie, penalties were sure to come
and the moron steps up and fucking knocks down another player
now it doesn't get more stupid than this
besides him ruining his last appearance, he weakend his team in the last minutes of A WORLD CUP FINAL (what you like to point out so much)
is that what a captain should do?
is that a behaviour worthy of the best player in the world?

I will judge him, and so will everyone else who is not biased and blinded like you are
He's on the national team, a captain, looked at by everyone, cheered for, expected to play his best, to show what real football is about
and he fucking loses his cool on the field
it's his job, he's got some responsibilities, there are some rules
now he's gotta pay the price

and he could have been THE ONE player to retire in full glory, without a spec on him, THE GREATEST, I'd say perfect even
you know what's so great about perfect?

it has no specs

 

Thank you

 

Fratelli d'Italia
L'Italia s'è desta
Dell'elmo di Scipio
S'è cinta la testa.
Dove'è la Vittoria?.
Le porga la chioma;
Chè schiava di Roma
Iddio la creò.
Stringiamoci a coorte,
Siam pronti alla morte:
Italia chiamò!

Noi siamo da secoli
Calpesti e derisi,
Perchè non siam popolo,
Perchè siam divisi;
Raccolgaci un'unica
Bandiera, un speme;
Di fonderci insieme;
Già l'ora suonò.
Stringiamoci a coorte,
Siam pronti alla morte:
Italia chiamò!

Uniamoci, amiamoci;
L'unione e l'amore
Rivelano ai popoli
Le vie del Signore:
Giuriamo far libero
Il suolo natío;
Uniti per Dio
Chi vincer ci può?.
Stringiamoci a coorte,
Siam pronti alla morte:
Italia chiamò!

Dall'Alpi a Sicilia
Dovunque è Legnano
Ogni uom di Ferruccio:
Ha il cuor e la mano.
I bimbi d'Italia
Si chiamano Balilla:
Il suon d'ogni squilla
I vespri suonò.
Stringiamoci a coorte,
Siam pronti alla morte:
Italia chiamò!

Son giunchi che piegano
Le spade vendute:
Già l'Aquila d'Austria
Le penne ha perdute.
Il sangue d'Italia
E il sangue polacco
Bevè col Cosacco
Ma il cor le bruciò
Stringiamoci a coorte
Siam pronti alla morte:
Italia chiamò!


Italian brothers,
Italy has arisen,
With Scipio's helmet
binding her head.
Where is Victory?
Let her bow down,
For God has made her
The slave of Rome.
Let us gather in legions,
Ready to die!
Italy has called!

We for centuries
Have been downtrodden and derided,
Because we are not a people,
Because we are divided.
Let one flag, one hope
Bring us together;
The hour has struck
For us to join forces.
Let us gather in legions,
Ready to die!
Italy has called!

Let us unite and love one another;
For union and love
Reveal to peoples
The way of the Lord
Let us swear to free
Our native soil;
If we are united under God,
Who can conquer us?
Let us gather in legions,
Ready to die!
Italy has called!

From the Alps to Sicily,
Everywhere it is Legnano;
Every man has the heart
and hand of Ferruccio.
The children of Italy
Are all called Balilla;
Every trumpet blast
Sounds the (Sicilian) Vespers.
Let us gather in legions,
Ready to die!
Italy has called!

Mercenary swords
Are feeble reeds,
And the Austrian eagle
Has lost his plumes.
This eagle that drunk the blood
of Italy and Poland,
togheter with the Cossack,
But this has burned his gut.
Let us gather in legions,
Ready to die!
Italy has called!

Zidane pretended to be hit in the head by Materazzi

 

Look al, i´m not defending him saying that he did well in the red card, and that will probably will be remembered as one if not the worst moment of his whole career.

All top crack players including the famous top 4 (maradona pele cruyff and di estefano) had moments like that in his career but i guess that at the end we football fans remember the talent showed by them in the stadiums instead of those moments where they acted as morons (they are human btw)

About Judging it...look i ve never played a wc final, i can´t judge cause i don´t know whats the feelings and emotions you have when you play one match like this (those are far from my knowledge), and btw i dunno what the hell materazzi said. Imo we can judge the facts surrounding the incident ( ex. if the card was deserved, if ref the took the right decission...) but judging what he did...i can´t and not cause i´m biased.

What i don´t really undestand about what u said is that 15 days ago you were asking for him to retire cause he was playing like a grandpa(but u didn´t say anything about any other crack player as i said),then as he started to play well you started to say that this could be because of media and fans pressure wtf the first one that wants to play good and have fun is him, he doesn´t need (as any other talented player) to be told to do so .and at the end after an amazing wc an sounding for the wc best player and for next year´s golden ball award...he did a way stupid act and suddenly you came with your "retiring with style" thing but with a totally different argument (this time it wasn´t his grandpaness thing again., now it´s about how he looses control in decisive matches)...then why is zidane not retiring with style because you have something against bald guys? xD na honestly why? my opinion is that he didn´t put to best possible end to his las wc and his career...well as u said the perfect one, but not doing that does not mean that he ruined his end...thats going from one pole to the other one.

Maybe you havent enjoyed him as much as i did but thats just a personal fact, i thank him for all the good football weekends and all the samples of talent that he gave is every sunday when he played in rm (i guess that juve fans will think the same) and i thank god budha , muhhamad or whatever fer letting me to see him playing .

 

lol

imo this might be the best thing about this incident. it was the first time, afaik, that video evidence was used during a match.
i hope they'll think more seriously about using it finally

@ zidane worshipers: maybe it will be called Zidane Judging System

 

WTG Italy

 

there some controversy about that, imo that would make ref´s work more precise but also it would slow down football a lot...

anyway it should be used in all crucial ref´s decissions (f.e aus vs italy penaly) xD

 

btw
http://tonaz.altervista.org/zidane.html

 

true
i guess it can at least be used in the situations when the play is stopped anyway, goals from off-side for example. or in situations like Zidane's.

but i wouldn't like to see the game stopped to check on video if there was a soft foul the field refs didn't see

 

And of course with all the ref´s headphone conversation recorded in a public domain "black box" xD.

 

lol

we'd hear the side ref saying to the main : "hey, no extratime, i gotta pee"
