    Right, I'm a Zizou fan, but in all honesty the Award should go to Cannavaro. Zidane wins World Cup Golden Ball. The prize was decided by media votes, cast before Zidane was shown the red card. Zidane received 2,012, Italian captain Fabio Cannavaro finished second (1,977) and his team mate...

    Yes. Red was in order. Note: I don't necessarily share Michael Cockerill's thoughts.

    I think the nipple-tweak thing was started off in the BBC Forums of all places. Very sad that it's all come down to this. The debate continues everywhere.

    Fergie eyes Italian duo. Doubt the credibilty of this report. Does sound good though, as unlikely as it is.

    Agreed, over the course of the tourney, the right team won. Italy deserve the Cup more than France. The Final itself: The French penalty was dubious, shouldn't have been awarded. And even though I wasn't barracking for the French, I would've prefered them to lift the trophy. Watching the...

    People should really stop banging on that point, it's redundant. It doesn't just work like that. Just because you have an extra man on the field doesn't make it easier to score. More often than not, it becomes much more difficult to break down a 10-man side. It's a cheap point people like to...

    I'm in touch with that feeling too, moreso after this morning's result. Won't be too surprised if the assembled panel are now feverishly changing words in their verdict from relegation + fines to tickertape + bravado.

    Congratulations Italia. :) I can hear the fireworks going off just about now.

    Noooooo. This isn't how it was s'posed to go. :( I don't think I wanna know what Materazzi said to provoke him.

    What on Earth was Zizou doing ? A headbutt ?

    Off: Ribery On: Trezeguet Great work by Ribery tonight. Finally Trezeguet gets a run. Finally France have a target-man. Hm, Euro 2000.

    Ha, Zizou's giving Gattuso a lesson out there. Now you see it, now you don't.

    Thuram has been superb as always. Not so at set-pieces, Materazzi seemingly has free-reign.

    That was all part of Zizou's divine plan. :D 1-1. And that's why Pirlo takes the corners.

    As highly as I regard Zizou, I don't mind who wins this morning. The fact that they are here suggests they're both very deserving. May the best team win. Zizou, you're a legend no matter what happens. Merci pour les mémoires. :( :)

    It's interesting that both countries, not just the teams itself, would be greatly boosted by a victory tomorrow morning; regardless of how long the celebrations last. Italia with the Serie A scandal, and France with their recent racial tension and high unemployment. It's charming that...

    "Go France". Sweet and simple, can't go wrong with that.

    I think the Ruud thing seems to be sorted out now. Fergie did say about a week ago that he 'fully expects Ruud to report for pre-season training'. So I guess that may be a favourable indication. Also, Guiseppe Rossi extended his contract by another 2 yrs., and they're planning to give him...
