I still think France deserved to win, they leaded the game from the second period on...Plus Patrick Vierra left the game due to his leg, and Zidane kicked out, it gave breathing space to the Italians.
HeyHomie said:How did Zidane even understand what the Italian guy was saying to him? Does Zidane speak Italian? Does the Italian guy speak French?
Sacrebleu!
Oh and by the way: Italy!
France definetely played better in the second half, they made Italy look like Ukraine (apologies to any Ukrainian fans) But I say Italy deserved to win because of the penalty kick France got at the beginning. The video replays show that the guy was not fouled but they got the kick anyhow. If it hadn't been for that, Italy would have won before extra time.I still think France deserved to win, they leaded the game from the second period on...Plus Patrick Vierra left the game due to his leg, and Zidane kicked out, it gave breathing space to the Italians.
I still wish they had a golden goal option there. That game could've gone on for hours. Better than letting it end in penalty kicks I say.
There's a lot to be desired in the way the World Cup is played. Sometimes I think it's about as credible as the WWFOk I can't believe I'm getting sucked into a soccer discussion. I'm going to need a shower. Anyway, yeah I agree with the above post(#11). I mean holy crap - you wade through a month of games and it comes down to what is essentially a field goal contest. Let 'em fight it out on the field. Conditioning is part of the deal - play til you drop or someone scores a real goal.
The problem is the forwards wear down a lot faster than the goalies. In the end you've got a bunch of zombies playing against 2 perky goalies.
