  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I think an Italian should get an acting award. He flopped and was bailed out. Just my opinion.

to be fair - they shouldn't have lost their guy to a red card.
yes they should, it was a deliberate trip. we shouldn't have been penalized for the italian guy jumping over lucas neill's body, everyone could see that it was not a trip, neill slid in for the tackle and missed, he deliberately got his foot and leg well out of the way... and the italian guy still dove over his body to get the penalty.
we would have won that game in extra time. we still had 2 subs to make, they had none. we had 11 men on the field, they only had 10 (plus the ref of course ;)). there was no way we could have lost it in extra time....

Boy, if this match ends on THAT penalty, then all the critics of soccer need to feel justified.

I'm not much of a soccer person - there are other sports that I enjoy much more. That said - the couple of WC games I've seen over the past few weeks have been pretty darn good.

My son (who loves all sports) has been actively watching the games and has been teaching his 2 year old son the Italian players names. I'm pretty sure there's lots of celebrating going on at their house right about now.

Must have been a pretty good zinger thrown his way to make him go nuts like that.

I really want to know what Materazzi said. That was way uncool, and now Zidane's going to have to explain to a lot of people why he decided to end his career on such a sour note.
