CAMPIONI DEL MONDO!!!!! FORZA ITALIA GRAZIE FABIO!!! 2

I'm still having side affects from the game last night, I couldn't even sleep from all the impressions from that evening. It was a spectacular game and Italy fought like gladiators. The 1st half is only a couple of minutes old and Cannavaro reminds Henry that Cannavaro is 1 of the best defenders (the best in my opinion) in the world, good job Fabio :D So the game doesn't continue for a couple of minutes and Henry sees roosters flying around his head :D. A couple of minutes later Malouda enters the box and falls, Materazzi's contact was little, but the referee gave a penalty. I think it wasn't a penalty because Materazzi didn't want to make him fall, because you can clearly see in the replay that Materazzi held back his leg. So a penalty for France and of course the “great” Zizou scores. If Zizou meant to hit the bar we might never know, but it was 1-0 for France. A lot of foul words fly through our living room, and of course I’m causing most of the foul words ;) But the game just started and anything could happen. And a couple of minutes Materazzi scores the 1-1 with a great header. Then the game is equally divided with chances for both teams, and Cannavaro also shows Zizou that Cannavaro stands his ground!

A nice quote from a Dutch soccer magazine about Cannavaro: The hottest Italian was without a doubt Fabio Cannavaro. The central defender gave the impression that an attacker of 3 meter tall and 2 meter wide and with the speed of a Ferrari couldn’t win a duel from him. No matter who came on his path in Germany, the winner was always the 1m75 32 year old Juventus giant. It’s a shame that the FIFA named Andrea Pirlo as Man of the Match. Or could that mean that Cannavaro will be selected as player of this tournament?

Ok back to the game. The 2nd half of the extra time, after Buffon saved an impressive header from the “great” Zidane, Zidane and Materazzi are again in the spotlight. Zidane gives a head butt to Materazzi, and no matter what Marco might have said, these things are unacceptable. And Zidane get a red card, a pretty stupid action from the “great” and “fantastic” Zidane to end his career like that. Then the final whistle comes and it’s penalties. Oh NO penalties, grumble Italy isn’t good at all with penalties, they’ve almost never won through penalties. I can still remember the penalty shout-out against the Netherlands during the Europe Cup 2000 when Italy won, but they don’t have a great record with penalties, or even that Buffon might stop 1 for that matter. To everyone’s surprise the 5 Italian men: Pierlo, Materazzi, De Rossie, Del Piero and Grosso all score their penalty and only Trezeguet misses his for France. So Italy is World Champignon!!!!!!!!!!!



The best keeper from this tournament is Buffon! I agree, he only got 2 goals against an own goal and a penalty. Then the nomination for the Golden Ball (best player of this tournament). I’ve got 1 word for it RIDICOLOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! According to the media someone who likes to give out head butts is an example for the youth??? And has Zidane played well during this tournament? Oh yes of course the “great” and “fantastic” Zidane played an excellent game against Brazil, but the other games of THIS tournament he played not well at all (and I’m still being nice in my expression). I really can’t believe it that the best player for the tournament is chosen before the tournament even starts, what kind of weird thinking is that? The best player of this tournament is without a doubt Fabio Cannavaro and it’s not only my opinion that he’s the best player, look around on the internet and you’ll see it yourself ( if I still need to convince you that is ;) ). Oh yeah Portugal is the most entertaining country from this World Cup? *Falls from her chair* Diving! So now I’m entertaining. (Weird word took me quite a while to figure out that diving was the English word for Schwalbe, if you have a better term let me know ;) )


*Kicks against those stupid free internet translators, stupid things never translate it right, I'll be happy when I just can speak, write and understand Italian myself :P*

CAMPIONE DEL MONDO!!!!! FORZA ITALIA GRAZIE FABIO!!!

Ohne Deutschland fahren wir nach Berlin

I'm still happy about the fact that Italy is playing in the final this Sunday and not Germany :P Yesterday at work everybody congratulated me with the win of Italy, everyone knows i'm a big Italy fan, even the construction workers had go down on their knees to congratulate me cause Italy won from Germany, and they said Italy would never win, yeah right MUHAHAHAH, I really love this :D
It's really wonderful to have Italy in the final again, every 12 years they're in a WC final and if statistics are right they'll win this time :D So France is going to be the opponent, stupid luck i say, a penalty? Well some referees give the penalty but a lot don't pure luck. (no offence toward the Juve players in the french team :P)
I do have to say that the 2 referees did a good job with the 2 semi-finals, of course they made a few mistakes but that proves they're humans to.
I was so full with adrenaline that i almost couldn't sleep last Tuesday, it was really a wonderful game! I think that the man of the match was Cannavaro cause the defense was a complete wall, and he almost had a goal, I really hope he'll score in the final, that would be really great cause the final will be his 100th cap :D But hey Del Piero scored so that's a big plus to :D Cannavaro is playing a great tournament and it's no surprise that he's nominated for the golden ball, also 3 other Italian players are selected. The list is: Andrea Pirlo (Italy), Gianluigi Buffon (Italy), Gianluca Zambrotta (Italy), Zinedine Zidane (France), Patrick Vieira (France), Thierry Henry (France), Michael Ballack (Germany), Miroslav Klose (Germany), Maniche (Portugal). Still i think Cannavaro should get it :P



Oh well again the waiting :@ but i got really good hope that Italy will be the new world champion or like the Italian say it Campione del mondo :D
Forza Italia :P

Don't cry for me Germany :P

YES we're in the final :D Italy has won muhahahah, i'll post some more tomorrow cause it's kinda late right now :P

Almost there :D

It's been a great weekend so far. Finally soccer on the T.V. again :D I've really missed it, I was really bored and didn't know what to do :P The Germans are through to the last 4, by penalty's, I think penalty's have a high luck factor. Argentina believes that they've lost the game cause Maradonna wasn't in the stadium, but I think they've lost cause they didn't score another goal :P
Fortunately Italy is also through to the last 4, they've won from the Ukraine with a convincing 3-0 :D So Italy against Germany, of course Italy will win :P Oh come on Germany isn't that good. Besides Italy has already won with 4-1, but now Italy also has something else to motivate them into winning. They want to get rid of all the criticism that the bribe scandal, but more important they want to win for Pessotto. Fortunately the verdict of the scandal is due to after the world cup, so that will give most players some relief until then. It would be a shame if Juve has to come out in the serie B next year, cause a lot of players will leave :(
The other 2 games: England goes home, Rooney gets red, yeah the Portuguese can be quite frustrating, the dutch know all about that :D And France defeated the "great" Brazil", not that they played very well this WC but that counts for both. Well at least we can still enjoy Zizou for 2 more games :D In fact all the 4 countries that are left.

Back to the game of Italy. I really liked the fact that they've scored so early in the game. Then they could play their own game and make more goals :D But the part I liked most was after the game, everybody was cheering and Cannavaro shows up with a really nice banner

So Pessotto was on their minds after all. Fortunately he came out of his coma yesterday :D I love good news like that :D
So now we only have to win from the Germans and we'll be in the final. I'm still don't know who I rather face in the final, France or Portugal. I really hope Nesta is able to play against Germany this Tuesday, well at least Materazzi can play again. I guess i'll just have to wait until Tuesday.
