Italy - France Underway

[Netfan]

Now, I was rooting for France, the whole Zindane last game thing and all that. But- in the first 5 minutes we get to see all thats wrong with the way the game is played. Henry bumps into someone and almost has to be taken to the emergency room. Give me a break. Ever watch MotoGP? Those guys fly off motorcycles at 250kph, bounce around, get back up and keep riding. But I digress. 1 minute later theres a dive and France gets a penalty. The game is pretty much over, except for the diving routines.

Uh-oh. i guess i was wrong about the game being over......

it was never a penalty, no one touched him, he went down like a farmer's daughter...at least Italy got one back but why is crouch playing for them?

RED CARD

After a lengthy delay and consultation with his linesman referee Horacio Elizondo sends off France captain and talisman Zinedine Zidane. From hero to villain in one moment of lunacy.

That was the best header I've ever seen Zizu do, normally he don't connect half as well....

If it was anyone other than Matteratssi, I'd of said fair enough but, Matteratssi is bit of a bad bastard anyway. I reckon there's been some verbals there and both have got what they deserve.

I thought if you head butted someone, you got to play against England.
