I cant stand the game as you know but...
 

At this time, i wouldnt want France to win.......would you? Gotta prefer the Italians........

Mais non.

Wot game?

I did want France, but after Zidane's stupid headbut..come on Italy.... :rolleyes:

Doncha love penalties...

Justice is done.

Just one question - are white Frenchmen not allowed to play football then?

The beautiful game...........my ar$e..........the beautiful penalty!

Ps, stupid footballer!!!

Well ivory coast, or senegal.................French?

I had wanted France to win but Zidanes foolish behaviour obviously changed that. Personally I think penalties after 90 mins would save players getting injured and save the TV schedules

Well that will be the Ducati factory on shutdown due to hangovers for the next week.


Chris.:burn:

Forza Italia!!!
 

..I guess i am the only Italian here on this board!!! come on dibs.... let me hear your voice..!!

Come on ducati lovers you should support Italy after England... not France (are they making nice motorcycles?) !!..
just joking of course... support who you want...
The most important thing is that for the 4th times we got the world cup - only Brazil did better...

Dear Tonio, I know that France played better the second half, but the first half should have a different result.

Finally we have been able to win a penalty shoot out!! 5 of 5 - you become world champion also in this way!!!!

I am curious to know what the hell Materazzi said to Zidane.. definetly Zidane understand Italian!!

I was in London last night and I COULDN'T BELIEVE the celebration in PICCADILLY, REGENT STREET and SOHO in from of Bar ITALIA!! a duke was there too!!!

Grande..... in four year guys.. I can not imaging what could happen in london if England win the WC....

Your Italian DSC member.........

I did notice that, but obviously there must be no good players anymore.
Well done Italy.

the English yobs would trash all the cities and wreck everywhere....

pathetic country we live in.

Someone else, somewhere else said this:

Apparently, the word spoken to Zidane is 'Harki'. the word means Algerian French colaborator, and he has headbutted somone before for calling his father a harki

Definitely below the belt - BUT, Zidane is (was) a professional sportsman and this is part of the game. Steve Waugh referred to it as 'mental disintegration'.

He was their chief penalty taker, and wasn't able to participate in the penalty shoot-out to decide the game.

It's easy for me to say that, I know I've had the odd transgression on the playing field ;)

I don't remember Zidane lying in the gravel trap :confused:

Must have missed that bit :lol: :lol:

In the words of Roy & HG, "This is the greatest game of football ever!"

If Zidane is going to do something like this, which is always going to result in a red card, why to connect with Materazzi's nose and break it. A headbutt to the chest doesn't achieve anything except getting him red carded.

If it makes you proud to win by cheating your way through the tournament,then fair play to you.:devil:

I agree completely. He should have ignored the comment and stuck the ball in the back of the net as a comeback, not deck the guy.

Good game. I think France played better overall, but it's not enough to win a game.

Silly action from Zidane, as Phill mentions it, he should have gone for the nose.

Exactly - if you're going to go out, go out in style :D

You can't spread someone's sternum all over their face, but you can a nose :lol:

:lol:

I've had my fair share of 'shoeings' at the bottom of a ruck, I thought I had my hand broken for me once. We were playing against an infantry battalion's first team though, they take their rugby super seriously :o

Get a big black dog up ya :lol:

er.............the cities were awash with people, when we did win a world cup! and the victory was done fairly and squarely with a cunning plan!

Oh, and they didnt need an army to contain the yobs, cos there wernt any!

The difference is obvious!!!!

..here a jealous "some other team" fan.... !!!

Surprised any Brit Ducati owner could have been rooting for the French. Go buy a Voxan

TBH, im suprised anyone not french would be rooting for the french.......:)

I was!!!

No offence Mr Brogins! :D

No problem Tony... I am sure that if we didn't kick Australia out of the Cup they were going to win it!!
Better Aussies then French!!

No offence Tonio!!!

I promise that I will forget soon that we WON THE 4TH WORLD CUP!!!..and I will get back to be just a Troy Bayliss and Valentino Rossi support!!
bear with me....

Hows that work then? I mean.........French???:lol: The you Aussies know how to pick a winner..............:lol: :lol:

We lost a finale but gained a legend. Zidane is the best football player of the last 10 years and will be remembered as Maradona is. One was famous for the hand of God, the other one for the headbutt of God :lol:

Italy knocked Australia out of the World Cup!!!!

Of course I wanted the French to win!!!
