I Told U So…
So it was 1-1 instead of 0-0, and it was not the borefest i predicted it was going to be. But Italy are the new World Champions, and they did it through a penalty shooutout.
But the highlight of the match is no doubt THAT great ‘header’ from Zinedine Zidane. Hitting the post with his header earlier in the match, Zizou decided he maybe needed more practice and did so on the nearest target, Materazzi. The ref, mistaking it as an intentional headbutt, decided to send arguably the best player of the last decade off, in his last match as a professional footballer. A fitting end indeed!
Anyway, Viva la Italiano! (or whatever)
