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*
