OT - The World Cup, Anyone?

Wow, i didn't know Matterazi was such a horrible man. But if i were Zidane, i'd kick his ass after the game is over :) Not during it.
 
I've been on the pitch with way too many Materazzi's in my time. Eventually, something always happens to that type of player. I remember one match where a little guy in a No. 2 jersey was running around clipping everybody whenever he had a chance and just making a complete ass of himself. He got a full-on forearm shiver right between his eyes on a lofted corner kick and then got dogpiled when he hit the ground. And his team forfeited the match.

Zizou is one of my favorites, though I'm not a French fan. I grew up in Belgium, but they haven't made the Cup since the Joel Bats days. I root for Holland in every Cup, but they don't do that well either.

So, long story short, I can see why Zidane did what he did with an ass like Materazzi on the pitch. That type of player just keeps chipping at you and chipping at you until you can't take it any more. And then all your pent up frustrations come out physically.

Zidane's going to do a press conference in a few days, so then we'll get the full story. Then materazzi will be in a whole heap of shit, especially since they were trying to crack down on racism at this cup.

I really hope things go bad for Materazzi. Although I appreciate him as a player, I'm 100% with Zidane on this one. It might be a game and all, but if you've got a short fuse as someone said, then just by hearing shit you could burst out. Especially if you've got a punk like Materazzi going on.

ROFL that is awesome!!
 
Materazzi racist against Zidane? It could be, unfortunately Materazzi is not a gentleman. But why not the contrary? I wonder what Zidane told to Materazzi before his answer...
Zidane... red card in World Cup 1998 against Saudi Arabia (He kicked Fuad Amin)... headbutt to Kientz http://photos.empics.com/g78/p27/386324.htm He is a wonderful player but not a fair play model... anyway... there are some rules; De Rossi was repeatedly insulted by McBride during Usa-Italy, He reacted and was evenly sent off. :err:
 
"It is absolutely not true, I did not call him a terrorist. I'm ignorant. I don't even know what the word means," the Italian news agency Ansa quoted Materazzi as saying after the Italian team returned to Rome.

Yeah right.

If they are trying to crack down on racism, and are serious. And Materazzi is found guilty they should strip Italy of the cup, or ban materazzi from soccer nad strip him of his gold medal.
 
Racism is the biggest enemy of mankind for me. If someone is racist, there is no way to meet in the same point of view in anything. And what is racism ? Didn't we all evolved from the "one cell" many many years ago :) Now lets sing the song "love generation" :lol: Hey what's happening to me, i am talking about world peace and natural beauty. Next stop: bringing democracy to one of the poor eastern countries :lol:

Ever been to a Sydney United v. Bonnyrig Eagles match? :loco:
 
Everyone loves that game so much that all the main servers that its on have been crashing or exceeding their bandwidth. Try searching for it on google and u'll see what i mean. I posted one of the older links and the next day I went to play it and it was dead.

Sooooo, what is there to do now that the WC is over?? Hmmm.....

Now we're waiting for the relegation of Italian clubs, Juventus and friends. IT'LL BE AWESOME!!! :kickass:

It will be great! My favourite team is Inter F.C.. We haven't won an Italian Championship since 1989 because of Juventus and Milan. They were very dishonest. I hate them because they were laughing of us for years, calling us losers. Now I'll enjoy they relegation with the same smile MUHAHAHAHA :heh:

Have to agree on Ricardo and Cannavaro, quite hard to choose from all the players. Some were impressive although they didn't qualify from the groups. I'm not surprised that you didn't pick any Brazilians. :p

The best goalies were Ricardo, Lehmann and Buffon. FIFA's dream team sucked quite a bit. Everyone has their eyes on Lionel Messi and Carlos Tevez.

It's too bad though that Fiorentina is in danger also, must be one of my favourite Italian teams besides Inter. Fiorentina has experienced this kind of relegation before few seasons back and then they climbed all the way from Serie C1 or so.
 
I'm sorry too, because Fiorentina is a great team. Unfortunately they will pay for their chairman bad behaviours. :erk:

The team went to Serie B, but it was relegated in Serie C2 because of bankruptcy. :(
