Doesn't matter, you can't go headbutting people. Ever.

Barthez is doing that weird thing with his shorts again.

Well, team I wanted to win has done, but that was a shite final.

Well done Italy, top class pens.

Well done Italy. Cracking penalties. With the French aversion to attack and the Zidane incident pretty much deserved too I reckon.

*dances a little jig* Yay to not suffering France being champions another 4 years. And Zidane being sent off in his last game the cherry on the cake.

So, the World Cup has been decided by about two inches worth of cross bar. What a horribly unsatisfying way to end the competition.

Iffy way to win, but deserved.

Zidane still looks aggrieved. Fuck him though, that was stupid.

Now a whole bunch of the Italian players may well get home tomorrow to find out they're playing in the third division next season. Madness.

Awesome penalties by the Italians, and France as Gorecki said missed
by the smallest amount. I wish England could boot them in like that!

Crazy situation for the French captain's last match and what may happen
next week in Italy. I don't think this world cup will be fondly remembered.

Yep, it's been a long way from a classic. Too much poor play (England the worst offenders there), too much defensive play.

I'm sure any innocent parties who play for a relegated team would transfer to another club, so I doubt they'll suffer personally.

Probably the worst World Cup I've witnessed (since '82), with poor play through most of the matches. There were some great goals still, but I like more than that.

Still, well done Italy!

Yeah, can't see a lot of them staying.

Champions League could be wide open this year though with potentially the Italian and Greek clubs booted out.

Who knows, maybe Tottenham will get a place in the knock-out rounds after all

considering that we are not even in the champions league, that would be rather unlikely i reckon.
