World Cup is here!!

[Guest Nogbad]

Good for Italy. Justice has been served.

[Guest roadholder]

Half regular time for italy and half for france. Not a great final

to see. Just happy cause Italy won, but at penalties is not good to win or loose.

Bad Zidane, not a great adieu match.... Here in italy people are going crazy,

[Ralph Werner]

France will certainly blame the US for this loss. <_>

 

BTW - nice overtime head butt!

[gthyni]

my tip:

 

Italia beats Argentina in the final

 

 

wrong opponent, but anyways ...

 

Italy dominate the end of 1st half, France the beginning of 2nd

1 - 1 was a fair result, and the Italian were untouchable in the

penalty shoot out

 

 

bur Antonio, La Marseillaise must be the best nation anthem

yeah right,

this an international forum an the debate around football hardly

involves USA at all, for good reasons.

Rightfully so. Not only do we suck at the game, but our announcers broadcasting the game suck as well.

GRAZIE AZZURRI, campioni del mondo.

Zidane sad way to end a carrier, I wonder what Materazzi told him to piss him off that bad.

Any body did a lips reading on that?

Materazzi deserves anything he gets. He's certainly no choir boy.

[Guest Macio]

Yeahhhh!!!!

 

24 years after Spain '82 we are CAMPIONI DEL MONDO again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The final in Berlin was not so beautiful like the Madrid one...

We had a strong first half, and the French played very well in the second half (and extra times; we were strangly tired) but anyway we won!!!!

Do you remember when we lost the final in USA against Brazil at penalties?

The history is a wheel...

The unforgivable Zidane-Materazzi match was only and episode on 120 minutes.

[Guest PAULSMART]

Wanna play the latest game out in the market...go on zidane

One reason soccer has never held any interest for me, either to play or to watch, is that the participants are barred the use of hands. Silly and artificial in a game for men, foregoing use of upper-body strength.

 

This head butt shows how far "e-armulated" you soccer boys have become: Even when committing a blatant and violent foul on your fellow players you eschew your arms and hands. Too effing funny! Is a head butt less violent and more acceptable than punch or grabbing him wih hands and tossin him to the ground? What?

 

Either let the players use their arms or disallow the goalie use of his, too. Make him block shots with his face only, perhaps?

This is why it is called football.

And it isn't about strength, it's about skills.

 

Beside we have a game in Europe where you use your hands,

it's called handball.

 

and finally headbutts are not acceptable, it will expell you from the game

and leave your side one man short.

[Greg Field]

Football, huh?

 

Not really. The goalie uses his hands.
