I change my prediction then, I forgot who was playing anyways. It'll be 17-15 for France. All the goals will come on penalty kicks awarded for people falling down and rolling around like they were just shot.
France will win with zero goals and Italy will come second after scoring two. The oscars will go to both teams for their impressive acting: best dive, best pretend smack on the mouth, best 'he pushed me', ...
I don't think Italy has ever won a World Cup game on penalty kicks. I want Italy to win so I hope it doesn't come to this.
Yeah, I believe the judges for the daytime Emmy awards are meeting now. Italy just scored as I was typing 1-1
Well Italy won. Wooot. Downtown Toronto is crazy (not there though). Wow we scored all our penalities but this one was a nerve wracker. I couldn't believe Zidane when he headbutted Materazzi. I don't care what Materazzi did or said but that was a very stupid way of reacting with it. That will create a huge blemish on his image. Anyone care to comment on the game, Zidane, etc.? Skinny
Well... 2-3 Key moments desided the match. France was playing a better football as far as I'm concearned. I don't know what Materazzi said, but having in mind it was Zidane and judging by the look on his face, I belive it was rather an extreme provocation from Materazzi, which only underlines Italy's approach to the game. Henry got injured and didn't finish the match on the field, so he couldn't shoot the penalty kicks either. Buffon was excellent once again. Don't get me wrong, Italy played well, but I would say that this was rather a snarling & cynical side triumph for Italy. Anyhow, I guess that not to many of us will remember that in 10 years from now...
