Shocking, France chokes it again.

So now Italy has 4 WC? Only one fewer than Brazil?(and 2 more than Argentina for our Argentine friends)

Perfect penalties

[whottt]

I'd just like to point out that the US was the only team that Italy faced and didn't defeat.


Therefore it's like this:

Italy = US >>>> Everyone else in Soccer.

Not politics, when have they ever won when it mattered in anything?

The player choking the PK is the personification of the history of his country.

Are htey gonna replay the headbutt by Zidane?

I didn't get to see it...I was taking a piss. Figures I missed the most exciting part of the game. Commercials rule.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Grazie, Zidane.

[judaspriestess]

Polands team was HOT, HOT, HOT

something very strong must have been said for Zidane to do something so irrational. I'm suspecting a racial slur of some sort

You mean, other than the 1998 World Cup?

I don't care if he was talking about his kids getting ass raped in gay ol' Paris, you just can't do that...

[whottt]

Pretty sure Zidane's major motivation was having to take a piss..I was feeling the same way about that time and was on the verge of headbutting the TV set...You can't beat the call of nature.

[judaspriestess]

I don't think anyone is defending what he did, all I'm saying is what I feel were his motivations.

or taking a piss thats always a motivator. Maybe he should have ended his career pissing into the wind in front of the world

[Bob Lanier]

On the bright side for France, that religious nut Domenech just might be fired.

He just hit the chest with his head.

I'd just like to point out that Slovenia was the last team to beat Italy.

Therefore it's like this:

Slovenia > Italy = US >>>> Everyone else in Soccer.


oh, and Italy.

[whottt]

So in 2010 the US rolls out Freddy Adeu and opens the US era of Soccer.

No we don't love it. but we're tired of all the talking so we're going to open up a can of whup ass and win the thing just on principal...Much like we did in Rugby 80 years ago when a team of US collegians(that played primarily American Football) went into France and took out the French pros, in Paris.

You've the seen the writing on the wall when team USA was the only team good enough to tie Italy in this WC, and did it while getting buttraped by the officials.


You are all witnesses.
