3. The better team did not win....

...penalty shootouts suck. Did Italy even TRY to win the game in regulation?

[Roland99]

4. Kinda hard when you're laying on the ground after being hit in the head

I know a lot of them were unintentional but seemed like every time someone was on the ground, they were wearing blue.

6. So, how long before Chirac has Zidane sent to the Guillotine?

Maybe do the job on Friday, under the Arc de Triumphe.

7. Rough for France losing Henry and Zidane

Zidane is a fucking moron, however.

8. Zidanes head butt

will go down as great allure. I was nuetral on either team. In the end I started rooting for France.

Congratulations Italy....

I am very sad to see the world cup end.

MLS AND ENGLISH PREMIERE LEAGUE HERE I COME. I love Soccer

[YellowRubberDuckie]

20. MLS is not the same...

While I hate Fox, I do have the Fox Soccer Channel. The name pisses me off, but that's another post. Anyway, I love watching the Premiership and Bundesliga. I refuse to watch MLS. It's just not the same. There is a difference between Soccer and Football, and I wish people would get that.

10. I thought we agreed not to put spoilers in the subject lines?

It's just out of respect for those who have not watched it yet.

[Kajsa]

11. Wasn't it live?

I think everyone watched it
at the same time.

I could be wrong, though.

:shrug:

[Haole Girl]

13. Live or not, some poor souls have to work

Yes..even during major sporting events...believe it or not!

[Kajsa]

14. Oh, I know it!

My son is working at IKEA,today.

They work weekends,holidays, you name it.

[SOteric]

12. You would not believe the tizzy all four of my brothers are in.

And papa, too; oh yes.

[ikojo]

15. Woo hoooo!!! I was rooting for Italy out of my

love of scooters and pasta!!!

[Zech Marquis]

16. Forza Azzurri !!!

By the way, :wtf: was Zizo thinking?! What a terrible way to end a career, red card in the Wolrd Cup final, when he could have given France a better chance of winning in the penalty kicks..but Italy won it :bounce:

[alarcojon]

17. Congrats Italy

as for Zidane, it is really tragic to see such a great player go out like he did - a totally deserved, un-called-for red card.

[GalleryGod]

18. Reverse of the (shootout) Curse !

Great Match ! Great Shootout ! Great ending !

[HuckleB]

19. Italia!!!

What a blast! Not as much fun as the semi against Germany, but still awesome! And we were surrounded by pro-France fans at Costello's Travel Cafe here in Portland. Ah, but they were kind. Most of them, anyway.

OK. So they had to be kind. We had our six month old with us, in his Italia soccer onesie!
