Downhome 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2006 I'm not a huge soccer fan, but I am watching this game (thanks to CDWOW!) and I may have to start watching it more often. I didn't know viscous headbuts to the chest were included in this game. Seriously though, I think I could really get into watching this sport. I'm having a blast watching this, even though I don't know much about the rules and everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masked Man of Mystery 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2006 I'm really disappointed by that, Zidane is supposed to be a very classy player and then he loses his cool and headbutts someone. That's a real shame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masked Man of Mystery 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2006 They're going to Penalty Kicks.....France has history on their side, but they don't have Zidane and Buffon is a good goalie as far as I know. It's gonna be all kinds of tense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingPK 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2006 Why did they get rid of the Golden Goal, anyway? I also think deciding the World Cup title on PKs is incredibly retarded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, four years is plenty of time between these things. There was also a bad offsides calls that waved off a goal for Italy, so if the game had been called properly, it wouldn't be an issue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masked Man of Mystery 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2006 Zidane didn't even come out to get his medal and say goodbye to his fans...it's really sad. Everyone's last memory of him may well be that headbutt and then walking down to the locker room all alone. And am I the only one who thnks the trophy should be a tad bigger, maybe?

goldengreek 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2006 Italy gets thoroughly out played for the exeption of the first 30 minutes and they win the game?? France dominated that game. DISGUSTING! How did France manage to lose their 4 best players before the P.K's Couldnt Henry tough it out for 5 more minutes. Wow, the better team lost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2006 The first penalty call that allowed France to get their only goal was bullshit anyway; as much as they dominated, they didn't score after that. And the trophy is that small because it's made of real gold. If i'm not mistaken, I don't think the Stanley Cup or the World Series trophy are made of real gold.

Yes, but dont forget the ref didnt call an obvious foul that would have resulted in a pk for France. He ignored it because he had already called one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
