so italy won..

Whatever made zidane do the thing he did?? I’m still reeling from that. No matter what instigated the act, he should never, NEVER, have done what he did. You are representing your country on the international level for god’s sake. And there are dozens of cameras focusing on yr every move. Do you seriously think that you can get away with that? The press is gonna have a field day writing abt this…..

Italy won. And I’m mighty pissed. They have been mediocre throughout the world cup finals, and they were mediocre in the final match. France dominated the match throughout. Granted, the penalty awarded to France was iffy. But there was an instance later in the match when they shd have been awarded another penalty. Not that I’m a die-hard France supporter. But I thought they played well, and so of the 2 they deserved the cup more.

Not that the 2 teams are that great to begin with. Can you remember the last time the world cup was decided on penalties?? I certainly can’t. Then again I don’t exactly have an encyclopedic memory of the world cups.

Wished Germany had been in the final instead. They were wonderful in their last match. 3 goals. And they were constantly attacking. I started out thinking that the german team is gonna be the same practical, boring team like the german teams before. Solid defence, with one or two forays upfront. But this german team has proven me wrong. The german team that I saw in the opening match against costa rica was exciting, always attacking. And I was won over ever since.

If only Germany had been in the final..
