How England will win the World Cup this year...

maybe he wanted to go out with a huge F-U and a bang and to make sure he'd be remembered

i don't know ... he did not wig out or anyhting when red carded ... he just headbutted the guy and kind off kept quiet afterwards ...

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

@Lurch - As I said, I dunno. Or maybe he just went "It's my last fucking game, I don't need this shit.... so fuck you mr.italian"

@Erik - But all you need is a ball (or some wasteland bandits severed head) and some space to play!!

haha. It's probably the only fun the starving diseased children will have in their lives!

France were playing at that time like they were down 3-0 and the game was over

I'm by no means a Soccer expert. That said, it looked to me that Italy was a dead man walking. They couldn't seem to get the ball out of their half for most second half and the overtime. Italy looked competely exhausted.

Both teams were indeed exhausted. However Italy couldn't do anything but strike far away each time they got the ball. France could still run a bit, they were sieging but the defenders and midfielders were so tired that 3 or 4 players had to go by themselves,to try infiltrating (not to mention that they were 10 goal included at that time) which is almost impossible against a defense of 10 at this stage.

@Henrik Main: btw you didn't believe me when I put Materazzi in my Fantasy Football squad.

French star Zinedine Zidane will speak on French TV station Canal Plus at 1:40 p.m. ET Wednesday about why he head-butted Italian defender Marco Materazzi during the World Cup final on Sunday, reports said.

The best part is that the Italian guy went down like a heap of bricks. If someone headbutted me in the chest, I'd have to start laughing. I'm no badass or anything, but I do know you do not go down with a headbutt to the chest. In fact, a swift uppercut to the face in retaliation would be the appropriate call.
Goddam soccer is a gay sport

edit: hahaha upon further examination, it looks like the guy took a dive, for which he gets points for not *literally* going down, but then again, minus points for taking a dive.
Goddam, soccer is a gay sport

Eh, I'm sure you've all seen this, but I've been pissing myself since I found it.

Those punishments handed out to the Italian teams involved in the match fixing scandal were pretty crazy weren't they? Juve relegated and starting out with a 30 point deficit.

 

[Dev]

In theory Juve should be in Serie C.

 

[Ellestin]

In theory they should all be GUILLOTINED!!!!

I love the bloke, but he wouldn't have played a lot if Nesta hadn't picked up that injury. Glad that he had a great World Cup, though.

I just heard about this this morning:

Lance Armstrong may be in for an interesting reception next week when he returns to the Tour de France, having apparently insulted France's soccer team by saying: 'All their players tested positive... for being assholes.'

 

[dorian gray]

bwahahahaha man i LOVE lance armstrong
it's even funnier when he rips on the french and their hatred of him for beating the fuck out of them in their own sport
