Most memorible though.

They might be, but doesn't change the fact that they fucking won.

Despite all this controversy with the headbutt, I think we need to all agree.

Italy > All.

Leave them alone, i'm sure there not the most corrupt nation, there must be at least one more corrupt nation?..............Right?

Italy's current team have been the most complete footballing side I have seen in my life.

Someone is a litte sour that their team didn't win.

Very, very true. Just because teams in the Serie A are corrupt, doesn't mean that the national side, or FIFA is. That was a dive, and it was pathetic.

Oooh! I can't get over that headbutt. Fucking vicious.

I agree with your second point that corruptness has nothing to do with most of these players even though it could affect them. Malouda didn't dive though. There was contact from Materazzi.

People will be talking about that more than the game itself in the future.

The deciding factor of the game was the fucking crossbars

LOL @ HYPOCRITES.

Italy wouldn't even have made it past the Round of 16 if they didn't get that penelty shot after a BLATANT dive.

Zidane is pathetic what a disgrace to football, I hope the french media flame him til he gets a heart attack.

No way. They started terribly, I'll give them credit for defense, however, 3 teams played better.

France in that game was superior attack wise.
Germany could have won if Frings was on and the forwards did their job.
Brazil would beat all if they just got their act together.

EDN carreer!

Well yes, but there you go. In my eyes, it wasn't a pen against Australia, but it's against Austarlia, ergo it's OK.

That was the funniest thing i have ever seen. France would of had a way better chance of winning if that fucking Zidane didnt do that shit.
Fuck.

There was alot of blataint diving in this world cup it's a fact of life now.

Fuck right off, there was contact made and any player in the world, especially the Italians, would have went down. France were the better team.

It's been a relatively poorworld cup, all the favourites didn't live up to expectations and Italy weren't the best side in the competition.

And reguarding Zidane, if you're going to head butt someone do it properly and break the cunts nose.

I'm dissapointed, france lost and germany won :'(

You know who's gonna die? Trezeguet. I feel sorry for the lad.

You are all going "Omg what a moron for doing that".

But I am SURe that that fucking italian prick said something HORRIBLE to upset him. He was thinking before doing the headbutt,it wasnt on the fly. Zidane is known for his calmness.

Im guessing it was something about him being iranian or about his mother.

Even if you may not agree,the man has his honour. I would of done the same thing had anyone insulted my heritage or my family. You may think "No,i wouldnt do that,thats like giving them the cup."

But think about it, late in the game,tired and angry at missing that,and then some prick comes up to you and starts insulting your family and heritage, in fact they probably kept pushing him the whole game and he just finally snapped.

If something liek that was said YOU CAN BET Zidane will say it and that mazzaratti or whatever his name is is going to get fucked up by people . Or fifa will ban him from playing football.

If nothing that important was said then i take it back and will admit he was stupid for doing that.

FOCUS : What do you all think was said / do you agree with his descision /

In terms of performance and decisions this world cup has been a complete disgrace infact probably the shitiest so far.

Some major changes need to be made by fifa.

Who the hell uses a headbutt as an attack? A punch I can understand, but a headbutt?

It doesn't matter what was said. Zidane should just have ignored him. He should have tried to wipe the guy's smile off his face by trying to get a goal rather than handing them the cup.

Team of the tournament, in my eyes:

Buffon - Lahm, Cannavaro, Thuram, Zambrotta - Riquelme, Gattuso, Maniche, Cole - Klose, Ronaldo

I would probably have included Ribery and Odonkor (spelling?) as excellent right wings.

Ehh...maybe not Riquelme, I barely saw him this tourney.
