We’ll meet again

What relevance does the league the play in have anything to do with the World Cup? Just be quiet, wtf do you know, you just like italy cuz your a guido american.

hey jarhead ask loozaro the relevance he said

“In Germany 2006, England’s domestic league had something like 108-110 players at the tournament. Germany’s domestic league comes a distant second with 70 players at the tournament. Italy’s incredibly insular domestic league doesn’t even come close to either one. Amazing record for the EPL.”

Dont force me to come to the US and Biatch slap you.

Whats with all these negative posts? Why the jelousy over the Italian win?

Grow up, and lets try and win the Euro 08.

We will miss zidane! And will not forget! Don’t want to let it go…..Check it out… http://www.respectzidane.com

France vs. Italy was a Great game for a great rivalry. I expect more to come from these two.

Regarding the PK SHOTS. I heard this argument that if Zidane shoots, he instills some psychological fear in the 5 pk shooters for Italy, and therefore turns the game to France’s favor (they win).

But, seeing as how perfect all 5 Italian PK shots were, Italy obviously could not have been intimidated, even bye a Zidane. France did just an okay job with their shots. Trezeguet missed and the shot by Sagnol was poorly taken. Had Buffon guessed right, the shot was an easy save. Italy’s shooters on the other hand shot perfectly. Barthez guessed right a few times, but was still no match for the precise shooting. Good job by Lippi in getting Italy prepared for PKs.

(maybe no Zidane nerved the French shooters?)

ps. check out this website I just heard about.

“I wish people would just except it as such and just respect each other. ”

Hard to respect the most graceless, sorest winners on the planet. They don’t generate much goodwill.

And yes, to repeat (for the football ignoramuses like john and his laughable “biatch slap” posts): ITALY HAS THE MOST INSULAR DOMESTIC LEAGUE IN THE WORLD. Basic stuff for anyone who knows the sport. But I know I’m talking to morons and imbeciles who know nothing about their own precious Italian domestic league, let alone the global sport as a whole.

AND ZIZOU RULES, ALWAYS HAS, ALWAYS WILL.

“Hard to respect the most graceless, sorest winners on the planet”

I get the feeling you’re a bit of a sucky boy eh. I was disappointed when France lost too but to me that is life. Sometimes we are lucky and sometimes not. I like zizou as well but his act was selfish and without excuses. whatever this guy said you just walk away. I am living now in Quebec but I was born and lived some years in Paris. I like football but I am not analyzing it to death just enjoying. In my life experience I believe in keeping things simple I don’t agree with all these petty bickerings.

“Hard to respect the most graceless, sorest Losers on the planet”

I can do it thankfully due to my Christian upbringing. I also have forgiven you Lazaro for your hatefull uninformed posts, for as the good book states “he knows not what he says” I hear your desperate cry for help and forgiveness my friend.

regards
john

France lost today, that is disappointing. Our unbeaten streak comes to an end.

Didn’t Italy already prove to be better?

“Didn’t Italy already prove to be better?”

Actually no, all italy proved was that it could cruise thru a tournament by beating such easy teams as ukraine, ghana, usa, czech republic, have exactly ONE credible match in the entire tournament (against Germany) and win against France only on penalties, a match in which France dominated fro 75 minutes. France has beaten Italy several times in the last 15 years in open play. Italy still can’t beat France without penalties. Italy also proved that it could win by deliberately getting the opposing team’s best penalty taker kicked off the pitch.

But what can you expect from a team that can only win world cups manipulated by dictators (1934 and 1938) and when there’s a scandal back home (1982 & 2006)?

Can ZZ sink even lower? The ansewer is yes. Here is what he had to say about Materazzi’s new book.

“It’s distressing and depressing that Materazzi may want to take advantage of that event,” said Zidane in an interview to Canal Plus.”

Mat is donating all profits to charity so I encourage everyone to buy the book, including you Zidane.

john,

first, are you the same american canadian, or french flag john who said racist insults and slanders like (quote)”monkeys, n*g*rs, terrorsist, ugly jewishs…” If U ‘re this guy like i think, i have to congulate U to be making progress. But, it will be far more interesting if you said what you really reaproach French men or France for ?

Posted from  France

Umm thierry if u had a visual perspective u would notice that the flag is Australian not all of the above that u mentioned. Yes John is progressing, much further than ur narrow minded view of Zidane poor Zizu unfortunately he cant headbutt anyone through a computer screen…theirry ur perceptions are distorted maybe u want to try….. Forza Azzurri Champion del mondo

poor rich zizou

Posted from  Canada

i have never made such ugly racist remarks and am disgusted by anyone who would. I dont know why this blog keeps changing my flag but i am from canada.

if the proceeds are going to charity there is no harm in that.Zidane should appologize and be a man instead of passing judgement and making excuses. Maybe they can both work together and make good from a bad situation.

Dear john,

Ok, sorry, i thought you were him. You’re welcomed. You know there are many people who bashed France and French team. I presume most of the racists of the world are happy to have a good excuse to insult ZZ. Also, apparently there are people who still didn’t understood that their GVT had lied for Irak War. Perhaps some people with identity trouble who want to be more “italian” than the real italian too. Globalisation and capitalism seem to lead many people to this kind of identity crisis with nationalism and racism tendencies. it ’s like for people who say they are proud of the four (1934 1938)titles of Italia we don’t know if they are f*cist or just ignorant. For an european it sounds like if germans say they are proud of olympic games of 1936 in Berlin.
