World Cup Final
I congratulate Italy on their win of the World Cup, but France deserved the win more than Italy. This was an excellent match to watch, and both teams played exceptionally well. I was surprised that both teams scored in the first 20 minutes and then nothing from then on (minus Italy's offiside goal). Thierry Henry played really really really well. He had a few break aways, it's just that he was not able to pass to other teammates.
France has gone a long way since the beginning of the tournament. They scored their first goal since they victory of the World Cup in 1998 to ending second in the finals.
Italy had the advantage because they have a better team. They have a better goalie and coach. But France was able to keep the match going into two overtimes.
I do not understand what Zidane did but I am sure he has a good explanation. Zidane is an honourable person and is said to be a gentleman. He head-butted Matarzzi(or wtv his name is) because he did something to him. Either a bad insult, or tapped him in the shoulder where Zidane hurt himself at the begginning of the match. If Zidane had not received the red card, I am more than positive that France would have taken the cup either during shoot-outs or during over time. And no Zidane does not suck, he is an incredible football player and is one of the best in history. I do not understand why so many people hate him. I guess they are just jealous.
I thought that Italy's Totti would have scored but no it was another player who headed it in the net. He tried two other times but failed.
Overall good match. Like I had guessed it was spectacular to watch. This was like a good book, it kept you on tenderhook.
