Yeah, going by history, like what Bunny said, racist comments seem to plague the French team. I only just realised the other day that Zidane is a Berber.

Man, I'm still so put out

=(

Thank god I didn't go down to circular Quay this morning, like i was going to!
Heh.
Ahh... I'm still sad too.
Let's all be said together.

Racial comments made

According to reports surfacing -coming from fans - regarding the Zidane issue, it has been rumoured that the Italian defender remarked to him to "fuck off back to your Algerian slum". This being due to Zidane being of 100% Algerian which is an Arabic Muslim country. This really questions my support for the Italian Squad

Anyhow congrats to Italy

i personally think it was the greatest thing zidane has ever done.

he was just doing what the whole world was thinking....

i mean after this world cup......who hasn't wanted to just head butt some dirty italian.

It's ironic for you to say that, given what has probably provoked Zidane.

iwannarock · Jul 10, 2006

there are two people that know what was said.

zidane, and matterazi (sp?)

everything else is just speculation.

and matterazi is one of the dirtiest player's in football.

he's italian. thus he's a dirty italian. simple.

That was mean.
Im still gasping as to how strong his head was- knocking a guy weighing at least 80 kg with his head. What a dissapointing last game for Zidane.

One last thing now that it's over:
Socceroos, we're proud of you. You've done us well. 4 more years....(hopefully)

stazi · Jul 10, 2006

lolz. we shouldve won the world cup coz italy cheated to win it. thus were better than italy. thus were better than france. lawl.

furthermore, sparcod, wtf is with your sig

Hopefully Zidane does not get remembered by that incident. I am sincerly hoping that the Italian did not say anything racist to Zidane, because if so, he deserves alot more than a headbutt to the body.

Why would you say something racist to one of three (?) whites in a team full of blacks?

copious · Jul 10, 2006

15 years of Brilliance by Zidane, soured by 15 seconds of madness. Is there anything Zidane cant do on the football field?

Still, he's the finest player of his generation.

What a disappointing final...if FIFA are going to make any changes to the game, it should be to allow extra time to continue til one team scores a golden point because after everything France did throughout the game it was unbearable to see them lose to a ludicrous penalty shoot out...

As for the Zidane incident, Materazzi should have also been sent off, for what makes a racist comment (if it indeed was) more acceptable than a headbutt?

Italy didn't deserve to win. Period

Fast_heinz · Jul 10, 2006

Why do people automatically assume that Materazzi made a racist comment?

On another note, am I the only one who found SBS 'expert panel' incredibly irritating...it should have been Fozzie, Tony Palumbo and Les throughout. And no more Simon Hill commentary, Martin Tyler is the voice of football.

Watch the rugby World Cup instead.

Fast_heinz · Jul 10, 2006

and Camoranesi is incredibly seedy.

_dhj_ · Jul 10, 2006

what happened to ned zelic?

at least he made good calls

i thought nick theodokoplous (sp??) was terrible

M-turkey · Jul 10, 2006

I think it's a bit harsh to say that Italy didn't deserve to win.

The French team was bit overly aggessive by the end of the match, throwing arms around etc.

I think the penalty shoot out is a fine way of deciding a match tied after 120 minutes.
It's a test using the most basic idea of Football; kicking the ball into the goal.

Also, least aussies can say we were ripped off by the team that became champions...

Fast_heinz · Jul 10, 2006

I felt sorry for Trezeguet, world class striker, gets virtually no game time all tournament (Saha gets on before him?!) - then he's thrown in at the deep end and misses a penalty. Damn.

Italian Hotshot · Jul 10, 2006

What did they do to Camoranesi? They cut his hair on the field and danced around him?

I thought you would've posted somethin along the likes of "forza Italia" or somethin.

I missed the unimportant bits, perhaps it was a thing they arranged beforehand...?

Fast_heinz · Jul 10, 2006

It's going to be interesting to see where all the Italian Juve and AC big guns go
