i think zidane did the right thing because i would have killed him if he said anything about me or my family
dang right, it is very very wrong for them to be saying things like that, some say that it was just tatctics to have him do that, but that makes them miss the point about the game, yes he hit him so it was right to give him the red card, but both should have been given the red one not just him
@ Consul.... Thats horrible... Does anyone know if Materazzi has issued a statment or fessed up to what he said?
Here on holiday in india, theres a article saying he never dissed his sister. But Materazzi is a bit of a nob...he got banned for punching a dude from serie a in the face...
So he was gauded about his mother & sister, the other pillock deserved the headbutt, I am behind Zidane 100% on this one.
who would have thought at the begining of the cup that this would happen wow! nice headbut Zidane, it looked mighty powerfull.
Dive to much, thats an understatement, I really wanted to get into the world cup games, but after about several games I remembered why I stopped watching some years ago, back when I played in the 50 and 60's my coach and even my fellow players would have wipped anybody butt if we cry'd like that.
lost all the football fever ever since us aussies lost! but mates, i can't believe italy won! if only zidane had gotten that beautiful header in... that head butt was great tho! hahaha!
more than anyother aspect of this beautiful game, FIFA need to stamp out simulation. I think they should use video refrees in order to see who is simulating and who is not.
I don't care what anyone says. FRANCE basicly won that game. It wasn't fair that he got kicked out of the game. The refer didn't even see it. They reason they kicked him out was because they showed it on a screen. FRENCE did an amazing job at this world cup. Even though this isn't my team.
I've been avoiding this thread for ages now.... Everytime I read the title it just bring's back memorys on when we were knocked out by thoose greasy hairy, bitching, diving, screaming disgrace to football portugeese....AGAIN!
Portugal lost, Italy won, Zidane thought Materazi was the ball and only could put him on the floor instead in the goal, but Fifa WC is over, and next time the winners win and the losers loose. Does somebody want to jump to this thread and give me a little explanation , please? My post is the last (for now) http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/5/348187#2204057
Was a good world cup yes, Italien's played well and deserved it, its been a while since they won it, cheer's to them. It would've went differently if France had there better penatly taker's on, garunteed. The penalty from David trezageut was shocking, though he is normally a top striker. There was some high's (Seeing Germanny & Portugal get knocked out) and some low's (See us get knocked out). Overall, a good world cup.
I enjoyed 2002 too not because brasil won but because it was in our time zone which ment i didnt loose sleep. I'm still not back to my normal sleeping patern
I enjoyed it because of the football, not because Brazil won, it gets boring when Brazil wins all the time, you know what i mean? But I did enjoy watching France win in France '98.
