lundi, juillet 10, 2006  I think the question on everyone's lips is - what the heck happened with Zidane and Materazzi?! What did Materazzi say to Zidane that made him react like that?I've also not watched a match where the medics were kept so busy - from the first injury to Henry, to Zidane, to all the other small little fakes - those men with their wonder sprays and little packs of (hot? cold?) were kept on their feet. The match was rather ho-hum, in my uneducated opinion. Perhaps it was because I didn't really favour either team (I was supporting France just because I had to pick a side), but the action seemed a little washed out. Both sides were playing relatively dirty, with the first injury to Henry within 5 minutes. Lots and lots of fouls. Soccernet stats, whom Stan says not to bother with, state that ball possession was Italy's 51% to France's 49%, but (for the first half at least), Italy was just everywhere; they were just grabbing the ball and gunning for it. France took over in the 2nd half, but a second goal from either side was not forthcoming. It finally fell to extra-time, which killed everybody with the running, and then to penalties, where Zidane was most sorely missed as And now, it's over. It's time to return to our regular sleeping patterns, and tomorrow, find out who has transferred to where for how many gajillion dollars. [Viva Italy ...] |
