what did the Italian dude say to Zizou to deserve that butt in the chest in the World Cup Final. There was a bit of feeling in that one, but I'm afraid the best player of the tournament deserved to get the red card for it.

So let's treat this like a quote competition...

Good Job, france lost fantastic!!!, the 10/7/06 will remain a day of shame, the day when they bombed the rainbow warrior, the day when they committed a terrorist act against a sovereign nation.

It is highly likely that Zidane would have got a penalty point, and the side would have been a lot more confident as a result.

Instead he got sent off. And lost France the game.

What a nob cheese infected scrotum boil.

Most of the crowd had no idea what had happened. I heard a few interviews on the radio on the way to work and all the frogs were so pissed off :killingme

But who is really interested?

I was all keen and watched the first 3 games - USA v CZH etc - and then I realised - I agreed with Mr Rogson - It's a crap game to watch the entire match and have done nought but check the scores and 2 minute highlight package since.

Enjoyed that OK but thats the problem - 2 and a half hours yeild 2 minutes of real action.

next!

Excellent game, could have gone either way at any point but I was hoping Zidane would be in the winning side in his last world class game. I didn't catch what stopped play in the first place, but that headbutt to the chest of the Italian player was definitely not called for - from what I could see, he was just standing there and the next thing he was flat on his back!

I'd been impressed with Zidane's performances up until that point but I was really shocked that a player of his calibre would resort to a dirty trick like that. A red card was the only thing the referee could do under the circumstances and France seemed to lose their momentum after that.

As for the hollywoods - my god, I hope an acting talent scout was watching! Some of the players (the Italians were better at it than anyone else!) took a dive when the opposing players were about 10 feet away from them. They should run through the footage and award points for best technique when taking a self-inflicted dive!

Penalty shootout is no way to decide who is world champion in soccer/football, all that proves is who is the better goalkeeper......:tugger: 's

Neither of the goalkeepers made a save.

It only proved that some wanker cant even hit the target from 12 yards out.

The Fifa World Cup has been a bit of a paradox for me.

One hand I enjoy an exciting game of rugby and appreciate the regular intervals at which points are scored to help me understand how a teams worth can be measured. On this basis I get frustrated as all hell when theres so many 0-0 draws in the football games.

On the other-hand...its one of the most popular sports in the world (Volleyball played more apparently). I can't fully condemn a spectator-activity thats so widely appreciated (aside from religion/politics/Britney Spears/Jerry Bruckheimer movies). I take a great deal of comfort in participating in a global phoenominon (sp?)...

Only a naive person could say 'no-one cares'.

Twas the first and only game i've watched this world cup, and the first watched in many years too. To sum it up for me I saw sloppy skills from both sides throughout the game, got sick of the players repeatedly falling over invisible rope and playing their hollywood games wasting time, appreciated the ref keeping continuity and being strict, found the shootout exciting, and got caught up in the euphoric atmosphere watching it on a big screen!

I was supporting Italy, only cos my half Italian mate was there sitting next to me. :clap:

Some French wanker. You forgot the important bit.

Aside: Perhaps it would all be a bit more interesting if they moved the penalty spot back a few yards?

What would make things interesting is if the refs were given baseball bats - anyone who fakes an injury gets given one for real....

Does anyone do 5-a-side soccer, like rugby 7s? That would be cool...

I play 6 a side indoor and 7 a side outdoor usually - much more fun than the full game I think, as there is more chance to try stuff like they show on the joga bonito videos. There is likely to be a world cup in those types of games too...

Dover - I am getting the same way... This world cup there have been more bad games marred by diving and horrible refereeing than those supporting the 'beautiful game' moniker

When I lived in the UK I used to like football. Mind you my team are a lower league club who had a couple of glory years in the Premiership.

After watching this World Cup I have decided I can barely stomach the game anymore. Bunch of fucking overpaid drama queens.

And now I'm starting to sound like my dad.

It's a cumulative effect. I used to love it too - but now the way they carry on and do shit like ripping their shirts off and shadow boxing the corner posts - I think they act like wankers and have just tuned it out now.

And good on the eyeties - anyway it's only football not like it's actually important.

Good idea - Hippie has devised a game of 'violent cricket' that has merit too.

I have a great way to liven up cricket.

Make the ball an explosive device with a random timer in it. Anywhere between 10 mins and 4 hours, or something.

No fucker would want to hold on to it so it would really speed the game up.

As for football, just bring back some of the lower league style to the game, or more traditional players. I don't give a crap about the tarts that can stepover and shimmy and all that shit. Let's have some blood and thunder.

I blame the europeans, all those italian, french and portugese homo's. Rooney should have been given a free kick not a card, and Zidane should have just had his hand shaken. Sort the men from the boys, you wanna cry we'll give you something to cry about.

I've said it before - soccer needs more points scored in a game. Look at basketball, tennis, cricket, baseball - in fact most sports. Plenty of points in every game.

Not in soccer. Nil all games at full time. What bloody nonsense. Widen the goal, stop the goalie handling the ball, change the off-side rule. A simple change would be all it would take.

Look at rugby. It got bogged down in titanic but boring forward play with low scoring. The IRB changed the rules and what a magnificent difference.

I'll happily concede that soccer has advantages over rugby. Being non-contact anyone can play it. All you need is a ball. But settling world cup level competitions by penalty shootout leaves this spectator cold.

Couldn't understand why they didn't go for the kick over the cross bar... worth three points you know! They would have won without the penalty shootout!

The_Dover

10th July 2006, 19:16

Typical cops, always looking for the easy statistics.

It would not be boring if the players were knocking the shit out of each other and making it a real contest. I don't find a low scoring rugby game boring, a good forward battle is great to watch, provided it's not all South African style killing the ball and penalties.

A goal is a goal, end of story, and if you'd watched much of the world cup you'd see that even with so called "World Class" strikers the goal mouth would need to stretch from corner to corner and be 40 feet high to increase the shots on target ratio.

Dwarf goalies could be a laugh though. You know the proper little stumpy dudes.

Watched TV1 midday news today......

It was either BBC or CNN that had someone lipread what was said..

I cant tell you what was said as I only caught the tail end of the news clip.
But its didnt sound too good... some racial slurs etc.
Last words were "Go Fuck yourself" and then Zidane went and headbutted the dude for saying that.

So watch tonight 6pm news on TV1.
There maybe something already in TVNZ website.
