would have pissed my pants while reading this if i wasn't at the toilet the very moment before

\o/

All the german haters are hilarious. There's more germans complaining then the French =(

really! and i can't understand why. :(
maybe they lost too much E$ with the betting here. :>

Zidanes headbut was not tolerable (it wasnt his first time), but he deserved a better end of his career.

btw. for those who dont know materazzi:

this guy is a joke and shouldnt be allowed to play in a world cup - and i dont even want to start talking about de rossi or gattuso.

he's a fucking asshole, one of the people who chose to be assholes for life, and have no respect for anything or anyone expect themselves
just look at the expression in his face, he's a fucking mafioso (edit: same with the rossi, omg he's such a fucking fuckface, i could kick him in the case for minutes everytime i see him)
too bad that's the case with most italians, still i stand by my opinion that it was the team who deserved the win most
until next time the brazilians put in the effort to actually practice (football, not smiling)

agreed, but imho a couple of teams would have deserved it - i wouldnt put the italians on top of them, but rather on the same stair :)

matrix is an asshole, but de rossi even got a fair play award before the wc. everybody does stupid things in their life, that doesn't necessarily make them a bad person. look at totti for example.

oh pls. i dont know why de rossi even got recommended for this kind of award - wasnt he the one who made another very violent foul vs margairaz from switzerland in a friendly game? margairaz was on the ground while maz. kicked him intentionally on the knee. he didnt got a card because they wanted him to play in the wm. i'm surprised that you miss those details ;)

i also dont know how these guys act in besides football, but what they show on the field isnt as honorable as you obviously think.

anyway, dont take offense with the stuff i write, i just want to show you the other side of the medal, as _you_ seem to be the guy who has the italo-glasses on :)
cheers mate

It was because de Rossi scored with his hand in a league game. He then asked the ref to disallow the goal which he did.

how is this related to the foul i was talking about?

The fair play award. Sheesh

did they happen to be about 5 - -2 in lead in that game?

2-1 up if I remember correctly.

I'm not offended really :p

I'm more tired because in my opinion it's the same shit every time with italy. People say they dive, play foul etc, when they are no worse than any other team, but it's based in old prejudice and I guess the only thing that lasts forever is a bad rep :{

they have assholes, but so does france, germany, etc.

materazzi, gattuso & de rossi are sick :P, but noones sicker than roy keane !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tffv2avUQlw&search=roy%20keane

ouch

Looking forward to the use of video referee in the largest football tournaments. Italys performance will sure be interesting.

Yeah, maybe Henry won't get so many penalties. :>


*OH NO HE DIDNT, OHHHHH SNAP*

He got one that even Carvalho admitted was a penalty?

SNAP!!!!!!!!

What about the one he got vs Spain?

Was that a penalty?

Nah it was a freekick, but right on the edge of the area, and they scored on it, so its a very similar thing.

It was a good 40 yards out?

I dont think so?

henry plays better for arsenal than he plays for france..

thats the fun stuff about the strength of a team on paper compared to their performance in reality. france in wc02 is a fine example for that: they had the three top-scorers in the strongest european leagues in their team, but they got eliminated without scoring a single goal.

heh, thats football

actually henry plays shit with france.. its not about rock paper scissors

Shit? He doesn't look as good for France I'll grant you that but shit? Lampard and Ronaldinho were shit. Henry was vital to getting his team to the final. Anyone with a half a brain could see that.

zizou zizou.. zizou..

Clearly not one.

I think Italy truly deserve this world cup win. Defensive or not, they scored the most goals and that is what counts. France and Zidane has played awesome, but they obviously could not beat italy.
Also it's a bit annoying to see so many whine @ italy for diving when ALL teams have players that dive. Even the noble team Japan did a few dives this tournament. Diving has sadly become a huge part of the game now =(.

exactly

Yeah forza italia.... :x

/me So proud to came from the Zidane country.

What a joke especially when Jean-Marie Le Pen has been spouting the exact same drivel. Get a reality check.

There are morons like that in every country. Le Pen, that italian guy and jamerio.

Those morons are not in governements in any country ; oups actually in Italy it's possible.
Le Pen represents just a political party but never had any political power (hf checking).

Well he has been elected to the European Parliament to represent France. That's bad enough imo.

you have le pen and he is even worse :)
pls, dont pick up the worst moron of our parliament (he represent about 5% of the population) as an average italian.
btw he was minister of something until april. now we have a new government.

When I saw the title of this thread I was like omfg, another one about the Italians blablabla...

Jesus, they won, they're the best, I like them and actually cheered for them from the beginning. But stop that spaming already ffs! Everybody got the message already and if not, they won't get it anyway.

y h8?

i don't
