22/309 votes for Italy!
definetely an outsider!!!!
congrats to my neighboors for their awesome victory!!! :thumbsup:
I didn't even vote for france (aka others), my vote went to holland !
I feel obviously very sad about this match, cause I think we dominated most of the game. f***ing Italian cheaters :thefinger
The first penalty was a bit malicious for Italy, no strong fault but watching later in the game the ref forgot a stronger fault that could have cause another french penalty.
Italy also did quite a good match, showed how much their defence is strong, they also succeeded to beat french defence and score the only real goal of this final.
But I maintain that france dominated the game, even at 10vs11 in the last tens mins.
Loosing by penalty isn't really loosing, it just make the loose even more bitter... we miss this worldcup just by a matter of centimeters, zidane shooted his peno on the post and it scored, trezeget shooted the same but don't have the luck of zidane

I think I would have prefered to see france loosing by a 3-1 and being really dominated by italia... it was a damn boring tie game :******:
I think both team played well during the worldcup and showed some amazing football, peno's are cruels, we managed to beat italy at it in '98, we can't win all times...
France return with a silver medals that's not bad at all, 3 weeks ago, I wasn't even hopping them to qualify in the 8th-finals.
Zidane did something bad but like Johan said before, he is not an angel on the grass and already showed before that he have an impulsive temperament (that's not its first headbutt)
Matarazzi may have known that and played with Zidane's nerves, it logically ended up with a deserved headbutt and a deserved red card. I'm also wondering to know what he really said to him..
We still showed some great game without Zidane...
anyways, I wish to all Italians people and freeones members (BNF & co.) to enjoy the fiesta we didn't have in france and please to don't flam us too much poor little ashamed french during these 4 long years :thumbsup:
