The End

The end of the World Cup. What began one month ago flew by so fast that some of us are still wanting more football. Sigh unfortunately the next game will be August 13th, Liverpool vs Chelsea for the Community Shield.

Okay back to the World Cup Finals. After mopping and bitching about the loss of the French, I've concluded that Zidane lost his cool and with it the chances of France winning the World Cup.

Who would dare take a penalty like this in a Final ever?

Same person who would headbutt the biggest player on the field

For any un-biased football fan, if you were watching the same game as i was France was dominating possession from the second half onwards. I mean Italy pratically camped in their half and made 50m back passes to Buffon.

Enough of the whining i say, Zidane went nuts with the headbutt. The way i look at it, Materazzi isn't the smallest fella on the field so Materazzi must have said something nasty. Zidane quoted in the papers today that he will talk about his 'headbutt' in the next couple of days. We shall wait.

My first eleven for the World Cup?

Buffon, Miguel, Lahm, Thuram, Cannavaro, Ribery, Makelele, Pirlo, Malouda, Zidane and Podolski. Subs: Ricardo, Gallas, Riquelme, Messi & Henry

Cannavaro was outstanding the entire tournament. He should have won the Golden Ball. Voting should take place after the Finals and not at half time. Tsk tsk tsk

Go ahead celebrate :p

Needless to say it's gonna be another 4 year wait for the greatest show on earth to grace us again.

Merci Les Bleus
