Italian Victory! 5-3 on Penalty Shots!!!
Ah, World Cup 2006 has finally come to an end with the Italians bringing home the cup for the fourth time. The match today wasn't that spectacular, there was so much stoppage and after about eighty minutes, all the players looked really wiped out. First two minutes in and Henry already gets a head injury by colliding with some Italian player and that stopped the game for like three minutes. A few minutes later, a foul to a French player occurs in the penalty area and France gets a penalty shot with a leading goal seven minutes into the game. Then at about nineteen minutes, Materazzi scores for Italy, bringing the game to a tie. During second half, its mostly a lot of 'almost' shots, but nothing in the goal. Extra time had to be played and at about 111 minutes Zidaine suddenly butts Materazzi in the chest and was sent off by the referee with a red card. When I saw that I was like "WTF?" what just happened? Grown men do not run around butting people like bulls! I mean, he's the captain of the French National Soccer team and this is his last game of his career. He'll never play soccer again. What a bad way to end your career! Sent to the locker room and can't even come out and collect the silver medal that the entire French team does not want. Anyways, penalty shoot out, Trezeguet missed, probably out of nerves, resulting in the Italian victory.
