yeah italy shouldnt have made it that far, but what a game for a WC final!!! it had everything...dives, fouls, Henry concussing himself then playing on, a penalty that barely made it over the line from an audacious strike...and that was in the first 10 minutes!!!
the whole game was close and tight, both teams played great attack and defence, and thus it came down to trezuguet missing a penalty by inches to decide Italy is the greatest team in the world. a classic final.
as for Zidane, im sure the reasons why he did such a reprehensible thing will come out in the wash, but Matterazzi must have said some pretty awful things to him to make him react in such a way. what a tragedy though, to play in the world cup final, the all time great Zizou in his last WC, his last international for France, to leave the ground in shame like that with about 5 mins left in extra time, it was just so out of character. but still an inexcusable action.
Only 1430 or so days til the next WC, cant wait!!!
