Don't be sore that Italy won be sore that Zidane did what he did. I tip my hat to his amazing performances in the past but truth be told, he has a history of stomps, headbutts and even punches that have been recorded. Remember what Hemingway said, "courage is grace under pressure". Clearly there was nothing graceful about his cruel fouls, and by definition and by Hemingway's quote, there is nothing courageous about it either. As for the matter on diving... Diving is a term used by the opposing viewer to make themself feel better for a call they don't support. Remember if not for the referee's it would be a blood bath, maybe even worse than hockey. I believe Italy won fairly, they played passionately, and it's too bad that a foul causes second glances toward the victors. They defeated Germany in a colliseum consisting of tens of thousands of fans with only speckles of blue to be seen. They persevered through a HUGE loss when Alessandro Nesta was forced to warm the bench due to a thigh injury. Fabio Cannavaro was then substituted for Nesta and efficiently led the Italians to a 2006 World Cup Victory. I am Italian, I may be partially biased, but if Italy would have lost, I would not have screamed cheats, brutes, or another readily used term to take away fame. Who wins the world cup wins because THEY ARE THE BEST. Who knows maybe France will win 2010. But what I know now is that Italy won fairly, and the only possible unfair call is the penalty kick given to Zidane early in the game. It is soccer, let them play soccer. If a player falls because another player is trying to regain an offensive position for his team, think about repositioning the ball for the other team, but not by giving a penalty kick, ecspecially in such an early time of the game which was showed in the match between Italy vs France. Either way, biases aside, the 2006 FIFA worldcup final match between Italy and France was BEAUTIFUL. Endurance, each player showed by lasting until penalty kicks (amazing if you see their winding sprints). Determination, shown how each player fought for the ball using every legl limb they had to keep posession of the ball (watch Cannavaro fighting for the ball, it is a beautiful sight). Lastly, passion, by playing soccer for their team and country, defeating power house countries like: Brazil, who leads the world in the most first place holdings in the world cup, and Germany, being the favored team in the 2006 world cup and having a huge advantage of playing on their homeland. We are lucky to to view such a beautiful dislay of soccer (Zidane's action aside). Italy won fairly and has the right to say they are the best in the world. Trying to take that away (from the Italians that played beautifully to win the cup) is disgusting. Non ce'male Italia. Non c'e'male. Esposizione bella di pallone!
