  • France played great during the second half and most of the extra time, and I wanted them to win, since Italy did do zero to win at this time, but Zidane kinda ruined it. Provoked or not, I expected better from him.

    So congrats Italy.

      • I have the feeling Cannavaro doesn't mind




        I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

        • Here's a (small) frozen image of the "head-butt", just in case anyone thinks I'm being delirious by saying it was rather a "chest-butt":

          • Nice to suddenly use video footage.
            Any particular it was used this time and not in any other game?

              It's strange how they 'changed the rules' spontaneously during the WC final to allow this. It may have set an unwanted precedent, and I can see managers hounding officials in future demanding that they look at the replay during the game to make a decision.

                Well he probably was the player of the tourney, headbutt or no.

                  I don't think so - he really only had one great game (vs. Brazil), and only decent performances vs. Spain and Portugal.

                  Cannavaro, Buffon, Klose, etc. deserved it over Zidane.

                    • Yeah, I mean come on... did you see how pitiful France has been? It was only after Zidane turned back the clock that they started playing like they actually freaking deserved to be in the knockout stages.

                      • Did they use video at the time of the game to make the decision?

                        And I hate to get picky, but thats a "head butt". They are called "head butts" because you use your head....:O)

                        • What's the difference between a headbutt and a butthead anyway?

                            I thought a headbutt was a strictly head-to-head affair.

                              Thats just the default area of impact, but any other location is perfectly permissable.
