After two bad outings two days in a row - one blown save and one loss - should the Houston Astros change closers from Brad Lidge? Fernando Nieve was moved to the bullpen after Clemens' return and has done very well as a reliever. He even picked up a win this way. We've had some great times with "Lights Out Lidge," but is it time to switch? If only for a little while until Lidge can work out the kinks?

I am not for France or Italy but i found the game very dirty. Cheap, and unprofessional. Neither F or I deserve the title...

That whole Rooney-C.Ronaldo crap went on for days after that game. How long will this last? ;-)

Instead of making speculations and bashing Italy, Portugal, England, or France (depending on who you root for) just be sad that the World Cup is over!!! Or happy if you didn't like it.

No more World Cup matches until 2010!!!

The lower scoring a sport is, the more the winners of it's matches are determined by chance. No matter how good a team is, its opponent will sometimes score by chance, not skill. If a match is high scoring, the scores earned by skill will dominate over those earned by chance.

Today's FIFA match is a perfect example. The two teams only had one point each and the winner was determined by a chance-prone shootout.

Note that I suggest that more goals should be scored, not that each goal counts more points. For statistical reasons, it might be desirable for average teams to score around 30 goals per game. (30 observations is the number at which the law of averages takes effect.) This might be accomplished by making the goal wider or higher, or imposing additional limitations on the goalie.

What do you think?

It was the most appallingly organised finale for what is supposed to be such a prestigious event.Why was there not a rostrum at some height for the dignitaries and the presenter of the trophy? The presentations were no better organised than those at the end of a local village soccer season! The spectators would have seen nothing of it. Was there a proper closing ceremony with FIFA flag being handed on to South Africa?! This was a real shame for the organisers and very very disappointing.

It seemed as if it was a classical italian song that may be a domestic anthem. I am not referring to the Bob Sinclair song nor the Go West - Pet shop boys song. This song was played as the Italians were getting their medals and touching the FIFA trophy.

According to Wikipedia on Marco Materazzi...

"He also featured prominently in Italy's World Cup Final game against France, first causing the penalty that put France ahead, then scoring a headed equalizer from a Pirlo corner kick. Later in that game he was involved in an off-the-ball incident; he is said to have racially insulted Zinedine Zidane, to which Zidane responded by headbutting Materazzi in his chest."
