Dirty football on Italy's side (red cards, funny own goals, horrible attitudes, nasty comments by the Italian TV - I live in Italy and they were so biased during the games), easy games (Australia, Ukraine, Ghana, unrecognizable Czech Republic, come on Holland played Argentina, Portugal, France kicked out Brazil, Spain, Portugal, Italy had easy games as usual and still had a hard time winning them). They played like Greece Euro 2004 playing in catenaccio style and scoring on corners, ridiculous penalties or counterattacks. I fell asleep during Italy games, France and Argentina were amazing on the pitch. Then Italy won on penalties where Buffon never guessed where the ball went while Barthez was better off and the only penalty France missed was hitting an unlucky crossbard. Don't talk to me about France's penalty at the beginning,There was an obvious penalty a few minutes later. And now on Italian TV everyday you hear about Italy, the best country in the world. I can't stand arrogance.

Don't know if France deserved to win - but Italy certainly didn't (although an oscar for acting hurt may have been more appropriate.)
It is hard to believe that Italy did not pay off officials when you look at how their games were refereed and look at the scandals that were happening in Italy's national league.

I think France deserved to win and Italy only cheated a little bit in the final.

I AGREE COMPLETELY WITH Emma_86. THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED A ZILLION TIMES GET OVER IT YOU IDIOT!!
@swiss ok you are really ignorant, if the final was Brazil and Italy. How would you know if many people would support Brazil huh? There are many loyal Italians who stick to supporting their country no matter what. Although you arn't one of them, we all can see that in the why you answer these questions. HAHAHA France has 11 for the Golden Ball award doesn't mean they will win it you nimrod. They have said the award always goes to the winning squad. Just like Ronaldinho got it in 2002. France deserved another star on their jersey, LMAO. Have you forgotten they don't have stars, they have chickens. You must mean they should have gotten another chicken. Well that is to bad cause they lost and they sucked too

Italy were just tougher when it came to it, they always win even if they dont play well (England being their polar opposites), and after all theyve had to endure world-cup penalty agony before so lets let them enjoy it......
I know they were a bit dull, but Cannavaro was amazing, no?

I don't like Italy at all, and I really think France should have won.

None of them should have won.
The final was terrible.
If anyone, Germany should have got it.
Everyone who wins gloats about it. It just sucks more when they didn't deserve it.
