i heard that there will be no relegation for those involved clubs if italy win (which happened)...but im not sure if that was official or not
errr right. I have this feeling no clubs will get relegated, such is the corruption that exists :sKabeio said:....they should've drawed somehow dont know what it would've encompassed however.
If he is remembered for the headbutt, so be it. It's part and parcel of Zidane.acmilan said:Furthermore, I have no sympathy for Zidane if he is remembered for this. Like I said earlier, this isnt the first time he's been sent off for head butting on field, so it definitely cant be palmed off as a one off thing. Given this, it would not be a surprise at all if what provoked him was something harmless. No matter what anyone says - even if racist - that shit doesnt fly.
hmmm...what else could he possibly have said to zidane to work him up to the point where he headbutted someone and got sent off in his last ever game...?Fast_heinz said:Why do people automatically assume that Materazzi made a racist comment?
On another note, am I the only one who found SBS 'expert panel' incredibly irritating...it should have been Fozzie, Tony Palumbo and Les throughout. And no more Simon Hill commentary, Martin Tyler is the voice of football.

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.copious said:errr right.

How do you think the italians would have felt had the dive by the french player cost them the match?Always said:That sucks. France played the better game, imo, and to have the FINAL decided by a penalty shoot out is just lame. I felt so cheated.
Thrash talk is part of sport... I'm sure if Zidane is low enough to headbutt the Italian, he would have been low enough to diss the Italian back... but you don't even know, maybe Zidane started it! Do you really think the Italian is at fault, or that Zidane didn't say anything intimidating either? Zidane should learn to control himself, what he did was really bad sportsmanship. I don't care what was said because Zidane could and is most likely at fault too, but his reaction to what was said was absurd. He deserved to get sent off. He does not deserve to be labelled a "soccer God", along with Pele and Marradona.Always said:Re: the headbutt.
It is practically confirmed that Materazzi used a racial slur towards Zizou’s family. Who does that to a champion who has done so much for the sport and in his last game as well? It’s so horribly low and I really feel for Zizou. Nevertheless, I’m disappointed Zizou fell for a dirty old Italian trick.
Yeah, cause France totally didnt take any dives. The fact Frace were in the final to begin with was because of questionable penalty decisions. It'd be interesting to see if people would be so anti-italy if they had beaten australia fairly but won by a dive in say, the ukraine match. I suspect not.blue_chameleon said:Italy didnt deserve the win ever since they took the dive against Australia. The Italians deserve the other trophy, the Oscar.
