italy shuldn't even pass austrailia , best team did not win. italy faced ukraine and australia..... u might aswell just put them through to the semi final straight . but france beat the past champs, 1 of favourites, and the hated team in world cup, france wuld of won staright if zidane wasn't sented off
France has never been a great team.Italy has won 4 world cups,the first in 1934.France only 1.Therefore, Italy's the second greatest team after Brasil(5cups).France's only one among others.Italy always plays worse than others. Italy's aim is to win, not to play good.Italy's trick is:let the other think you're not good,let the other attack while you seem to be in trouble.Then, suddenly,Italy wins and nobody understands why.The answer:Italians are more clever than the other ones!
i wouldnt take much notice of this idiot as he's English and havent they achieved alot in world football? the most over hyped, technically inept players in the world. And now the English have faced the fact that they are useless and need the help of an Italian to help them save some face...oh the irony!
who the fuck said im english? you fucking prick, my blood is french and french always . i deteste da english and dere way 0f f00tball. that match agaisnt england in eur0 2004 will always be in ma heart. fuking italian loving prick. dnt talk to me , materrazzi is to blame for france's lose. dont say it was zidane u fukng french hater.
oh sorry i didnt realise u were a frog...assumed u were a pom due to being in the UK, my bad. i didnt say anything about zidane losing the match for france, the rest of the team did a pretty good job at that. i guess it carries on from the french have a history of losers!
history of losers hahahahaha coming from the italian lover hahhaa. please don't fall down while im laughing u won't get a penalty there no referee around hahahaha . if italy made da game beatiful den they made it ugly this time by inventing diving , congrationlations
And as for stating australia should be in italy's place in the qtr finals...if u want to get technical Australia should not have even qualified from their group as the second goal harry kewell scored against croatia to make it 2-2 was offside. But when ur views are influenced by pure jelousy i guess u cant look at things objectively.
Therefore, FRANCE was screwed and Italy played Australia, Ukraine and Germany. France played Spain; Brazil and Portugal teams which I'm sure pundits would say are harder to defeat than Italy's teams. Unless you actually want to bet on Ukraine beating Brazil
Yes, but Italy simply defeated France, which previously defeated Spain, Brazil nad Portugal. That makes Italy the best team in the world. Notwithstanding your opinion. And Italy should have won 2-0. And Zidane's behavior was so criminal that France should be prevented to participate next world cup. Go Italy GO!!! We are the best in the world (we have always been one of the best teams)
looool i see u r shit in football and bring some lawyer shit into football. " france shuldn't play in world cup" do u know wot that means u prick , play some football and fele da passion
As for the brainless twits saying italy had an easier path to the final than france i cant help but recall italy was in one of the so called groups of death with usa, czechs and ghana - they got through that easily and got no recognition.
France barely scraped thru their group with korea, the swiss and togo - oh wow. They came 2nd in their group so therfore faced a tougher route to final. Even then it needed some useful cheating by Henry to get past Spain.
Actually Gvader. I'm not sure as to which channel you watched the match on. However the BBC pointed out that Pirlo's corner kick (from which Materrazzi scored) actually curled outside the line and then curled back in. That's what the interactive replay showed which the linesman didn't point out. The very same linesman did actually penalise corners throughout other matches in the World Cup and awarded a goal kick since the ball went out of play.
You can't honestly say what will happen in a shootout beforehand, therefore you can't definitively say that Zidane's red card cost them the World Cup. But the second he went off I "knew" they'd lose. I suggested a shootout margin of 4-1 and was not far wrong.
your wrong buddy if you seen the game Italy was screwed because 1. The penalty kick was bullshit (Zidane's) because the guy didn't touch him and Italy had a goal taken away due to offsides and that was not offsides(Luca Toni)Italy should have won the game 2-0. There should not have been penalties. Even the Spanish announcers said Italy was screwed.
I understand the Italy/ Australia game was a bullshit call too but so was the France /Portugal game because that was not a penalty both guys fell untouched.
Italy is the world champion and untill 2010 the rest of the world has got to be silent !

The commentator is right. Zidane did contribute to Frances defeat. If he didnt get sent off then Italy knows it would have been France's world cup
