[quote]Can we close the thread now that WC is over
Dear oh Dear, I'm sure the thread will slowly diminish Sylv. I don't think it requires an official shut down. But then again I quite like seeing a thread named after Ian so perhaps it deserves to be reactivated every time it disappears off the radar.
Anyway back to the football. Congratulations to the Italy, unlike England they've finally got rid of their penalty taking hoodoo - in a game that really matters. Did they deserve to win it? I don't think so. I actually wanted France to win, they definitely should've had a second penalty but then again perhaps the first one wasn't the most convincing.
..It must have been something pretty abhorrent that Materazzi said to get Zidane to react like that. The stakes were so high I wonder why ZZ found Materazzi's comments impossible to ignore. No excuses though - Zidane definitely had to go. I'm kinda sad for France, and sad for Zidane - prossibly the best footballer on the world stage for the last 6-8 years. Ok Sylv thats the last word on the W.C. from me!
