A certainly greater player than the Materazzi or Cannavaro will ever be.

Way to go guys.

I gotta say, I was seriously impressed by such a headbutt. Greek heroes are way cooler than Greek Gods.

[Saintaw]

Cannavaro stopped a lot/most of french attacks, what are you talking about my dear Straffette?!

I dont consider Materazzi a champion, but an average - good defender.
Cannavaro is on the way to be more than a good player, but he has time by his side to demonstrate more qualities

Anyway you cant compare Zidane with Cannavaro, too different players, too different rules, and a mid-field player is ever favourite in such a comparison vs a defender

Zidane is a champion out of any comparison, though at the moment he could surely run in Pamplona:cool:

cu'tn paste error , I plead guilty your honnor, I was not supposed to paste "Cannavaro"

I was (and still is) unable to remeber the name of some Italian player

[Saintaw]

It's the only one of two I remember myself. You were just extremely unlucky to stumble on that one

the goalie's name is "bufoon" or close ... can't forget a name like that

LOL, second bunch of arrogant sent home with tail between legs. BTW, Zidane has been absoulutely the best togheter with Henry. No doubt. Excellent tecnique, great athletes. France lost becouse Henry was dead tired (his own words talking to Sky reporter) and Zidane a comple idiot. The lack of the two has been fatal for frogs morale and final penalties.

muahahaha

Btw you fail to notice there was not a single goal during the 10 last minutes when it was 10 versus 11.

The need to make penalty to end a match show how much this sport is pitiful

Why don't they flip a coin ?

[Saintaw]

They used to untill . I say they should continue playing untill they collapse so that I be entertained sitting in my couch...sissies! (Ahhh the good ole roman games era, now THAT was entertainment!)

[stegor]

sorry but my memory is not so clear, but.... didnt french ever win a match at penalties??

[stegor]

And btw at penalties thare must be an error , not so in flipping a coin....ask Henry if you want... so easy:cool:

[straffo]

Now , a bit more seriously , this final was not worth seeing whatever you supported one or the other team.

[stegor]

Rarely finals are worth to see (and this wasn't so bad eventually); you have to watch  and recall  all the previous done to give a complete judgement on a team; thats why often we can say that after 120 mins probably there is not a winner,  the two  teams are worth to win.
Still in many sports, one has to come out from the arena as a winner.....even if bleeding hard (saw do you like this ? )

So is soccer you love it or you hate it, its a take or leave

[Sixpence]

They knew he had lost his temper before and they were probably told to do the little things to provoke him. He took the bait.

IIRC, the guy who missed the kick for France was not used much, would he have not kicked the penalty if Zidane were still playing?
