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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
