FIFA World Cup (TM) - July 2006

yes, i believe zinedine zidane is a hero bcoz he didnt giv up his pride for sport. he has proven that he is a footballer to be remembered as a legend and not as the-guy-who-got-a-red-card-on-his-last-match

if i was zidane and that materazzi said something offensive to me, i wouldve thrown him out of the pitch. wat a pity italians won bcoz of an unfair play. and italian supporters, dont take this as an insult. im just telling the truth and saying what i hav in mind.

it was a gloryless way to win the title. "italians won the world cup because they had a man advantage. however, they still couldnt score after zinedine zidane, france's soccer legend, was sent off due to a head butt to materazzi for insulting him."

i still believe france shouldve won. i wasnt rooting for france actually, bcoz i was supporting PORTUGAL. but france has proven that they are the best, knocked out spain, portugal, and brazil!

ZIDANE WILL BE REMEMBERED AS A SOCCER LEGEND. i can assure u that.

even if he was insulted, he should not have let those words get to him and react the way he did; yet there are a few people who seem to be defending him, why?
and saying becuaes he was insult is foolish,and if that is still acceptable then go and attack someone who insulted you and use that as your defense in court and see what happens

DON'T FORGET THAT ZIDANE SPEAKS ITALIAN

Zidane : Ordinanza di tirare il costume!! / Stop pulling my shirt!

Materazzi : Taciti, enculo, hai solamente cio che merite... / Shut up butt ficked one, you are only getting what you deserve...

Zidane : Si e cio... / Yeah, that's it....

Zidane walks away but the italian player continues

Materazzi : Meritate tutti ciò, voi gli enculato di musulmani, sporchi
terroristici / You all desrve it, you butt ****** Muslims are all dirty terroristes

That is when Zidane returns and head butts hum.

How would you have reacted towards Materazzi if he had insulted your mother/your nationality/your honour?... or whatever it was he said that was really bad?

ged insult? So OK Zidane may have been provoked verbally. But is it justified to react with violence if someone says something you don't like? Is that how the French do things?

Why would he do that when it was obvious that they would go into shoot-outs. Having those two there and if Zidane didn't head butt, that would have probably tied the penalties!! I'm just still in shock from France's loss, they had that game. Honestly, I play soccer too (for half my life now) and I know that soccer is 90% mental and 10% physical! Whatever was said to Zidane, must have been pretty bad. I don't blame him. Now, the Italians won't shut-up about their win until 2010!!!! Great....

A lot of people are complaining about games being decided on penalty kicks. How about this?

At the end of regulation play, there are a series of 5 minute overtime periods. At the end of each overtime, each team must remove one player from the field. Any goal in overtime is a Golden Goal. This method would guarantee an eventual winner, be more in the spirit of the game, and would generally not take any longer than a full overtime plus penalty kicks that they have now.

So did France in 1998, when they beat Italy in the quarterfinals.

I guess PKs were a GREAT way to end a game back then ;-)

Get over it, folks, it's over! Better luck next time.

People wonder why Soccer won't catch on in America. It's been said it is becaus there is too little scoring. This is baloney. The action is non-stop, and the level of scoring is similar to hockey. Besides the obvious reasons of having to meet critical mass etc, I think one other issue needs to be addressed: The theatrics that are so integrated into the game do not fit in with the American model of good sportsmanship. Rolling around and crying turns off the American sports fan.
Agree, disagree?
