[football] World cup final

[mrph]

Zidane is not going to be a popular man tonight. Hell of a way to retire from the game...

Nice headbutt, though.

Despite my financial gain with Italy winning, I feel like a cheat personally. Zidane and all...Italy did not play the better game and penalties is an awful way to go.

Still, foolish Zidane.

Agreed. On both counts.

I mean... what on earth was he thinking?

"It's the world cup final, it's my final game, we're in extra time and probably heading for penalties... hmm... I'll just walk up to Materazzi and headbutt him in the chest. Yeah. That'll relieve the tedium.

I know we're in a packed 75,000 capacity stadium that's crammed with cameras... but the ball's over there, so I'm sure nobody will notice..."

I was so looking forward to yesterday's game and France winning. When Rooney got sent off I just thought 'narky little git deserves it' (I'm not really an England fan), but when Zizou lost it... zut alors! I really felt for him, but he had to go. What on earth did Materazzi say to him?

Rumours are that Materazzi tweaked Zidane's nipple...

But he reacted to the nipple tweak by laughing... he was walking away and then something was said - either something nasty about his mother or something racist I'm thinking - not that either would justify his reaction but it must have been fairly unpleasant.
