I know I'm not the only one interested in this.
Anyone know what channels it's going to be shown on or anywhere online I'd be able to see it?
Who's your team?
France FTW.

or Brazil might pull this one out even though there seriously lacking talent. Would be great to see Brazil win since its been so long since theyve dominated. Lets see if marginal players like ronahdhino and ronaldo can step there games up. lol

Have you been hiding under a rock? Brazil has been in the finals for the past 3 cups. They won two of those times.
I think Brazil will most definately reach the finals. Will they win? I think they most likely will.
I'm rooting for Mexico, though.
TSJ, the game will be on ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC. I'm not sure if they'll be delayed or not but those channels are all on the basic cable plans.

on a sidenote soccer has to do something about racism.
Our African american sportstars have it made for them. Little to no racism and a general acceptance of their culture. Europe is disgusting with its treatment of black superstars. Cant undersatnd how callin Henry a monkey in a sporting event can be justified. If Lebron James ever had to hear those chants I can guarantee you Jesse Jackson and Al sharpton would be headlining thge news for the next 2 months. Just horrible to see how many racists still exist in Europe and we thought the doown south was bad.

What my friends and I did was we threw some cable (I wasn't paying attention, I know someone here knows) from the computer to the TV and was able to watch it on the 30" TV instead of the 15" computer. It reduces the quality a bit, but if you have a few people over its worth it. If you want to use the computer the quality should be fine.

I thought for sure Sweden was going to score there. Trinidad's goalie was good but I think most of the time he just happened to be in the right place at the right time and his reflexes really helped him out. Larson almost had that goal when he stuck his cleat through that goalie's legs. Who's up next?

crazy I know why the ref giving out red cards he has a red shirt lol thats already a sign
arent refs shirt suppose to be yellow or black? Like all other games?
that was a horrible red card call against the USA. yellow card at best...he did touch the ball...
Italy is fortunate to be tied at this point as they have not been playing well. the USA getting the lucky own goal by Italy cancelled out the offsides on the Italy goal and bad call that lead to the free kick. good game though.

Oh, I'm so sorry for being such a brat roll. I've been around quite a bit and I know how prevalent anti-americanism is. Anyway, in any sport where subjectivity exists (refs, umpires, judges), there's always a possibility of bias. If you haven't noticed, we don't live in a perfect world, and shit happens. Remember the Winter Olympics with the conspiring skating judges? I bet people thought those judges were supposed to be fair too. The ref from the US-Italy match was suspended before for pulling some kind of bullshit. Like I said, I'm just wondering. If you missed it, I said earlier that the mafia was paying off refs so maybe you shouldn't take my comments too seriously. Think what you will, but don't start name calling.

No one's blamed the ref for the loss itself, we're just saying it was a bad call (do you agree with that call? I don't think anyone would.). That ball should've been cleared before that foul happened.
Still, the fact is that that tight match was pretty much decided by a bad call. How good or bad the US is has nothing to do with it so that US/Brazil context makes no sense whatsoever. I've already said that the US team sucks and they fucked up since game 1.

dont hate on ghana no one gave them much of a chance, while we were all busy over hyping the US. The US never showed up to this world cup, and never gave themselves a chance to win. Don't forget if not for ghana the US would never even had this chance to possibly advance. I for one will root for ghana against brazil.
It may seem like a step backwards for US soccer, but lets be honest we didnt stand a chance from the moment the pools were drawn
I will say one thing, I hate how fake soccer is. The US is the only team i've seen so far that plays the game without all the flops, and the diving.
I hate watching the game in the 75th minute and some player takes a dive just to run up the clock, and slow down a potential counter attack. Then they bring out the doctors and the spray, and the stretchers and carry them off the field then they just hop up and go back out.
It's one thing when there is hard contact, and a player hits the ground hard. More than 50% of the time though there is no contact, and said player is just trying to draw a foul or stall.
They should change the rules that if they carry you off the field in the stretcher you are out of the game, I bet you'd see a lot less of that bullshit. Just play the damn game.
hehehhehe
22-06-2006 09:35:26
I agree with you. I totally thought Reyna was bullshitting but I doubt he would've sat out the match on a fake-out.
When I played in high school, the coach always would tell us to buy time like that, and I saw the best guys take dives, using their hands when refs couldn't see, and so on... it's just a part of the game at this point. I got tackled nastily once and got taken out of a game (that's why I agreed with that Mastroeni red card) but I hopped off the field and watched my ankle swell up like a softball. The coach told me I should have stay put and lied down on the field to buy some time... I was probably his best player but I quit playing for the fucker the next year.

Oh and before anyone else says soccer officiating is clean, don't forget about the huge recent Italian scandal. Also, a German ref was arrested about 6 months ago for helping to fix Bundesliga games. Series A and Bundesliga, that's corruption in two major football leagues.
I'm also happy to see Ghana advance, it's their first appearance and Africa deserves a team past the group stage.
theysayjump
22-06-2006 10:30:49
I thought the game was at 3pm so I stayed in bed. (
As for the diving, play-acting, time-wasting bastards, I hate them.
The stereotype in the Uk is that they usually come from South America or Europe but when you actually play the game, you are told that you're supposed to go down for some challenges, stay down longer than you should if you're winning and it's near the end of the game etc.
It's bullshit and I hate people who do that but there's really not a lot you can do about it. The refs/FIFA have cracked down on it somewhat by awarding yellow cards when found to be diving but it's really not enough.
Maybe if they were to use action replay for it and if they're found to be diving then it's a red card. But starting to use action replay's would just open the game up to all sorts of shite.

Some diving/fake injuries in the second half by Portugal I thought. Can't blame them since they were outnumbered but I hope they lose to ENG.
Ruud was criticized by the manager since he hadn't played well and I think it got personal afterwards. Looking at how shitty some of NED's offensive players played, that could be the only reason to keep him on the bench,

As for Portugal taking too much time, Dude... That's soccer. Every freaking team does it when their down men and towards the end of games so they can protect their lead. The Ned's got away with alot more shit than Portugal did, that's for sure.
Portugal is really turning out to be a serious force in this World Cup.
justinag06
26-06-2006 08:38:34
seriously cracking down on shit?
Half of the yellow/red cards in this world cup were completely out of line. Like no foul was even commited, or if it was a foul it certainly isn't deserving of a yellow card.
and if said foul should be deserving of a yellow card, then they should be handing out yellow cards to the teams that stall like that. Also when you consider that 80% of soccer is acting its kind of hard to take any foul serious.
no one is saying portugal didn't deserve to win.

Great, looks like France are fucked. Taken from the BBC
[quote33b5a944f1]The bad news for France is that Nostradamus has predicted Spanish success at the World Cup... well, maybe, you decide. The Frenchman's prophecy reads "In the sixth month of 2006 the King of Spain will cross the Pyreness with his troops. The legions of Beelzebub will battle him in central Europe but the evil ones will suffer doom and destruction. The Holy Grail will then come, like the King, to Spain." We may as well all go home then.[/quote33b5a944f1]

Heh heh heh, yeah I read that too. Spain has been playing well so I think they'll beat France, even though I like the French better. Plus, they're not playing trezeguet, when will they ever learn.
If Spain does win the cup, I guess I should believe in Nostradamus from now on no matter how dubious the intepretation...
And yeah, F. Torres has been playing great but the mullet has to go.
Yeah, it looks great from the front but he needs to chop the back off.

He's offsides 1000 times, but the one time he isn't he scores.

I was hoping England would move on so they could continue their impressive beer drinking. An AVERAGE of 17 PINTS per day! That, my friends, is impressive. I wonder what the German average is? I thought surely they would out drink the British, but I haven't heard any news on their beer consumption. I don't know if you guys watched past the end of the game today, but there was that one dude in the pub they kept showing in England, I think in a red shirt, and he looked really emotional, right? Well, about 15-30 mins after the game was over they went back to that shot and it was the same guy with one other guy just standing there looking at the TV all depressed. PLEASE tell me someone else saw the other guy having to focus on the TV by closing one eye because he was so hammered! That made my day seeing that.
Here's the link to the 17 pint a day story. I think I heard it on Conan last night though, and that's what made me look it up.

That doesn't make much sense (unless you can explain further)... These two (Zidane and Ronaldinho) are playmakers, Ronaldo is a striker so he can't really be compared to them. Look at all the discusions online about that. I don't see many comparisons of Zidane vs Ronaldo.

I'm not really considering age. Either way, Zidane, being at the twilight of his career, still kicked Brazil's ass. Ronaldinho, being close to the pinnacle of his career, didn't do shit. As the main playmaker, it was his job to make things happen...
At least for Brazil, Ronaldo was able to break that scoring record.

Rooney is a punk ass bitch. He deserved ever square centimeter of that red card.
Oh God. Not again.
The English press have been trying to hard to incriminate Ronaldo. How do you know he winked at the bench after Rooney got booked? He could have winked way before the incident occured.
Don't even try this "but they're team mates" argument either. They were playing for their countries on separate teams. They were rivals during that moment.
Do you think Rooney would have kept quiet if Ronaldo had been stomping on Terry's balls? No. Rooney has the worst temper I have ever seen.
Ronaldo [i01c1fdc1cc]had[/i01c1fdc1cc] a mullet. lol
I have a feeling Ronaldo had [b01c1fdc1cc]nothing[/b01c1fdc1cc] to do with the ref's decision. The ref clearly ignored him and he blew the whistle way before Rooney even stomped on Carvalho. Maybe Rooney should keep his hands to himself.
Yeah, Ronaldo might have over-reacted but he didn't go up to the ref and tell him to give Rooney a red card. He clearly points at Carvalho and ignores Rooney when he's pushed. Had Rooney pushed him while he was running with the ball, Ronaldo would have probably thrown himself to the ground asking for a free kick.
Just watch the tape again. Don't watch the one with all the English commentators saying Rooney's going to sort Ronaldo on the ManUtd training grounds, etc. Try to find one with another language you don't understand.

I dont argue the redcard ..it's the fact that Ronaldo was proud of himself as if he had influenced it. I also don't think his winking to the bench is arguable either, as non-English reporters confirm this fact also.
As for bad tempers, I'm pretty sure Ronaldo was crying on the sideline after he had to come out because of a kick to the thigh lol

I had to watch the last minutes of the ITA-GER game again (was showing on espn2), what an ending.
Portugal's going to be tough. Scolari is smart, Deco will be back, and they will certainly focus on Zidane, but I'm gonna have to lean towards France ftw.
hmm, on the daq portugal is sold out! wtf is that!

rooney is just a big roid rage out there on the field. JJJ was right, he played horrible and did nothing to help his team win.
C. Ronaldo is good and will be great in years to come, but as far as the ratting out Rooney thing. It isn't right or wrong, but it just shows what kind of person he is.
As opposed to Zidane or Henry after the game the sportsmanship they showed to their counterparts, and fellow teamates.

He was in a car accident when he was 2 yrs old and that's why he looks like that. The commentators mentioned it during the game.
Ugh, that sucks. I also read that he lost both of his parents in that accident.
I think he's great though. I had never heard of him until now. But he's good. I wouldn't be surprised if some big clubs have already tried buying him.

Yeah Ribery has been one of the better players this year and he's guaranteed to get shitloads of offers.
Today's game was pretty pants but Portugal were diving all over the place. Like the commentators said, their discipline is terrible. It's as if they expect something from everyone or like people owe them something.
Also, I only compare American Football and real Football in regards to the sports, not what kind of protection and stuff they wear. I just don't get American Football I guess. Games seem to take all day, constantly starting and stopping, the games never seemt to flow and all you can really do is throw the ball, kick it sometimes or run with it. shrug
Compared to Rugby, American Football is a pussy sport, but it can't really be compared to Football in that respect. It's a stereotype that pretty much all of the countries who don't speak English as their main language, dive (everyone besides England, Scotland, Northern and Repbulic of Ireland, Wales, USA, Canada, Australia and maybe a couple of others). shrug

Portugal's dives were absolute shit too, and attempts to get a call came at all the wrong times. They might have gotten somewhere if they actually attempted to finish balls rolling across the 6 yard box instead of letting their legs give out..

Cricket's a pile of shite. I'm assuming that's where Baseball came from, but I'd rather play Baseball. Scotland has a Cricket team but I'm not sure why. shrug
Anyway, the only person who wears any kind of protection is the guy behind the stumps (the wicket keeper). Other than that, it's just the white outfits and nothing else. No gloves to catch, or helmets or pads on your shoulders or cock. The person who bats has gloves and shin guards and sometimes a helmet.

American football is perfect for American TV since they get to show commercials all the time (during timeouts, 2 min. warning, between quarters, change in possesions). Broadcasters love that. That's probably a big reason why ABC didn't show more world cup matches. They didn't even show the fucking semis.

That was fucked up what happened to Henry, I thought he was out cold. Zidane's penalty was unreal and I still can't believe he did that.
Not sure what's going on but it seems like the Henry incident kinda got in the way of France's early game plan. Hopefully they can find their rhythm in the second half.
Also, what the fuck was up with the pre-match coverage? It was literaly the worst 20 minutes of TV I've ever seen. Instead of talking about the teams, discussing their tactics, possible scenarios etc, it was constant adverts, inter-fucking-spliced with clips of the stadium for maybe 10 seconds.

anyhow it was bartez that lost it, he is too short. If zidane kicked at the end he would have just replaced someone else that made it anyways.

Well, I knew he has a mean temper (I remember '98 ) but doing that at this stage is really incomprehensible and he let down his team. Frustration and whatever Materazzi said did it to him, along with the fact that he was roughed up the whole match and never got a call. The team had to live and die by Zidane I guess. Still, he is one of the best players ever and it was a shame not to see him on the field at the end of the match.
I figured Trezegeut would fuck up, he fucked up in '98 against Italy too.
France outplayed Italy for most of the match though, so it's too bad it had to end like that.
EDIT My guess is that Materazzi said something to the effect of "Learn how to head the ball" since Zidane missed one earlier while Materazzi scored one. That would explain the head butt.

Nice job making yourself sound like an ignorant biggot.
Of course I wanted France to win. Italy didn't deserve to win at all, they played shite, not only in this game but most of the tournament, and then they win it on penalties.
What Zidane did was inexcusable and deserving of the red card. However, neither the ref or the linesmen saw what happened and it took the fourth and fifth officials to watch it on the big screen for them to then tell the linesman who then told the ref. They shouldn't have replayed it on the big screen. Also, the reaon he did it was because materazzi made a racial slur and Zidane is a big anti-racism campaigner. Either way, he shouldn't have done it.
Hopefully he'll still play club football and try to retain some respect he lost tonight.
It was a good tournament and I wish it wasn't over. cry

why shouldnt they have replayed it on the big screen just because its Zidane fuck that he broke the rules badly and he should get a red card. This is one reason we have replays just because he thought he could get away with it doesnt mean that he should get away with it. It was the right decision by the refs. Also it a game there is a lot of shit talking Zidane should be able to handle that at this level of competition not lose his cool cause of some comment.

[quotec263a75dd8="JJPRO11"]i love how some of you are making fun of italy celebrating when france is the biggest pussy country in the world. [ic263a75dd8] i dont really give a shit about soccer.. [/ic263a75dd8] but being italian and the opposing team being france, i was glad to see italy beat them and seeing france's hero look like a fucking jackass headbutting a guy in the chest... only in soccer will you see so many kicks to the groin and other stupid cheap shots like headbutting. if your going to confront someone like that, you use your fists. the fuck with france and the pansies that live there.[/quotec263a75dd8]
well maybe thats why you have no clue whats going on. I could give a shit about italy or frances politics outside the tournament. Withen the tournament frace played tougher than a lot of the other nations, and Italy played like diving pansies the whole time.
watch the headbutt even there the guy throws his legs out and exagerrates the fall. It should have just knocked him back.
also I thought the headbutt was much cooler than a punch to the face

I think that a lot of the players in the world cup play like a bunch of diving pansies. That's the reason nobody watches it here. I actually like to play soccer, but watching grown men throw up their hands and fall to the ground because somebody stole the ball from them just isn't cool.

Zidane shouldn't have done what he did but Materazzi is a fucking piece of shit for instigating. It's just yet another dirty tactic. Materazzi refuses to tell the press what he said, and yeah, he shouldn't have fallen like he did.

i find it amusing that people criticize the french and italians for celebrating and being affectionate afterwards. some people say that those who are critical of men expressing their feminine side are not very sure of their own sexuality ;)
zidane shouldnt have done what he did but it happened. anyone who fails to realize to trash talking is not part of this sport, or most other sports, either hasnt played the game or is in denial. you talk smack to get under the guys skin and make him make a mistake and get him off of his game. it worked on zidane

Yeah, I've played the game, and there's a difference between trash talking and more serious insults. I've been in brawls during soccer matches because some idiot on my team would use racial slurs against black players. Is it understandable to get pissed off at someone calling you a nlililier during a soccer match? Yeah, I think so. Did I defend my teammate when he did this? Hell no. I think you're the one who has a limited view on this.

Nice job making yourself sound like an ignorant biggot.
Of course I wanted France to win. Italy didn't deserve to win at all, they played shite, not only in this game but most of the tournament, and then they win it on penalties.
What Zidane did was inexcusable and deserving of the red card. However, neither the ref or the linesmen saw what happened and it took the fourth and fifth officials to watch it on the big screen for them to then tell the linesman who then told the ref. They shouldn't have replayed it on the big screen. Also, the reaon he did it was because materazzi made a racial slur and Zidane is a big anti-racism campaigner. Either way, he shouldn't have done it.
Hopefully he'll still play club football and try to retain some respect he lost tonight.
It was a good tournament and I wish it wasn't over. cry[/quoteb57630a58a]
i already said i dont give a shit about soccer.. the reason why i wanted italy to win was because i am italian.. the reason i wanted france to lose was because they gave us the stiff arm in the time of terrorism and war. it wouldnt have been the end of the world if italy lost. i would of course rather have seen the usa win, but they didnt.
if people are going to come on here and insult my heritage then i am going to insult them back. dont give me the shit about the italian deserving the blame. zidane was well known for being a hothead. if materazzi did infact use a racial slur then he probably got what he deserved. but zidane let his entire country down by doing that. if his team and country was so important to him then he would have ignored the insults.. its a sport people.. there is trash talking, racist comments, and worse in every sport.. being the best player on the field and getting ejected at a critical point of the world cup in front of more than 1 billion people was foolish.
i'll compare it to my favorite sports team, the steelers.. during the super bowl ben roethlisberger gets pissed off at a player for making fun of his swiss roots and punches the guy out.. ben gets ejected in the 4th quarter of a tie game and the steelers go on to lose the super bowl because of an interception by the backup qb. i would not support ben at all no matter what he had said to him. i would be forever pissed at him for costing his team and loyal fans a super bowl. he would not find support from his team or the fans either.
zidane let down his country and teammates. i can only laugh at the french fans who are defending him because they must be in denial and havent realized just what he did. if you think that a player and his hot head are more important than the entire team and country then you are a fool. a good teammate doesnt let his emotions effect the team. if he really wanted revenge then he should have waited until after the game. what he did was not only stupid, but selfish. at least you realize it was wrong unlike other supposed french fans.

The fact that Materazzi was talking is part of the game. Just don't think that this was the only incident where a player was talking shit to the other team. Happens all the time and Materazzi pushed the wrong button on Zidane and he reacted. Neither of them was in their right to do what they did.

Reagrdless of whether he was wrong to do what he did or not, it shouldn't have been replayed because it lets the entire stadium see what happened and can sway the Ref, linesmen and fourth and fifth officials.
Instead, they should be doing their job by paying attention and watching everything.
Zidane deserved to be sent of for what he did and it was inexcusable, but he should only have been sent off if the officials saw it without looking at the big screen. It's part of the reason why instant replays haven't been implemented in Football yet.

yeah and the war, france and this have nothing to do together.
Also does anyone here think france would have won had zidane stayed in the game?
Every french player we saw shoot made it except for the 2nd man to shoot.
It would be easy to assume that he would have just shot 3rd, and then missed it all the same.
It was bartez who lost the game. I was just reading in the media that at a lunchen Chirac toasted Zidane, and the entire team was there except bartez for family reasons.
He has to feel like shit because he never actually did shit in the Brazil game, the defense did it all for him. I don't know about the portugal one, but when his one time came to step up he cracked under the pressure.

Yeah, the Italy goal was similar to the Zidane header that Buffon blocked away so that could've been the difference right there too.
I always said Barthez sucked but I can't blame him for the PKs, even Buffon didn't block any. Trezeguet fucked up. Once he missed, there was additional pressure on the French (already pressured from kicking second) and it relieved the Italians.
This may sound funny, but mom insults don't go over very well in France. Not knowing this nuance, I had a normally mild mannered French friend in my face once for a mom joke. This cultural difference was amusing.

When you identify more with the players and the team rather than worrying about the country as a whole, you enjoy the game more.

don't bring our politics into this thread now, we made it through the entire cup without one mention of them. The World Cup trancends politics.
Now answer me this A or B question.
Which person is a bigger pansy.
A. The person that falls at any sign of contact, and grabs their leg in sharp stinging pain, lying on the ground untill the ref calls to stop the map(or a penalty). Lets the trainers bring out the spray, and the strecher and take them off field and then they come back on.
B. The person that falls and gets up, or if he does get hurt lies briefly and then gets up.
Zidane and Henrey both got fucked up in the match yesterday, and both came back in and played like men, neither one made a show, or cried to the ref. They had to use smelling salts to wake up Henrey for christs sake. I don't see how they were pansies

I guess I kind of see what your saying, but in my culture (American) it's called soccer and it's played on a field. If you're a Frechman, call it football and a pitch, if your American, call it soccer and a field. I could understand why the announcers would call it a pitch if they weren't broadcastings to Americans, but since they were, just go with what our culture uses and don't try to pretend like you're too good to call it what every other American calls it.

Believe it or not, there are a lot of people in this country who call the game Football, because they believe that that's what it should be called. The US coverage of the world cup was only being shown in the US, so there'd be no reason for them to call the sport Football or refer to the pitch as a pitch instead of a field like you're used to, but alot of times you'd hear them call it Football or Pitch or Boots etc, just because that's what they call it.

I agree that there are a lot of people that call it football in this country, but I'm speaking generally. If someone tells you they played football in high school, they think of helmets, and when you're talking about broadcast TV you should be thinking about relating to the general population. Yeah the percentage of the general population that call it football is proportionally smaller than the percentage of the world cup audience, but I'm sure that the overwhelming majority of viewers say soccer.

I think you are 100% wrong that [b0eb51f0329]most[/b0eb51f0329] people watching ABC during the WC call a field a pitch. It's a field in this country, not a pitch, and it's a very slim minority that may use the terms interchangeably. In Britain it may be called a pitch, but not here. Words have different meanings in different countries. Chips are fries over there. You don't call fries chips because you like soccer, why would you call a field a pitch. Hell, they call the guy who picks up your garbage can a dustman. Different culture, different meaning.
http//www.effingpot.com/people.shtml
Look, we could go round and round about this forever, but my point is that if you're communicating with an American, use American terms. If you're communicating with a Brit, use British terms. After all, words mean what they mean because that is how a culture uses that word. To say one is wrong is incorrect because the words simply have different meanings to the different cultures. Again, my point is that if you're communicating with Americans, use American terms.
FYI, I played soccer for many years and never once referred to it as playing footbal on a pitch.

Materazzi admits to having insulted him after Zidane told him"If you want my jersey so much you can have it after the match," looking down at him as if he was much superior (that's what Mataerazzi said). This was after Materazzi tugged on zz's jersey as shown in all the videos. So that's what "instigated" Materazzi, the piece of shit. He hasn't confirmed what the insult was though.
The american press, who hardly knows how great a player Zidane really is, pisses me off. They laugh like idiots calling him a butt-head (always showing clips of Beavis and Butthead) because the head-butt is all they know of him. Well, he has more respect around the world than these journalists and the Al Rokers combined so he probably wouldn't care.

I get the feeling he has a grudge against great players. In this video see what he does to Shevchenko and Totti. If you also search on youtube you'll see a bunch of videos about his crazy fouls. After you see what kind of fouls he commits, I don't think anyone can say it's part of the game. A player can commit one or two bad fouls in his playing career but this guy does it all the time.
Fuck him.[/quote4739cfd77a]
dude you'll find the same type of stuff with a lot of defenders/players in the world, just because you single him out here doesn't mean he's the only one. once again, that doesn't mean committing those fouls is right but the only reason you (and most) is because he was involved with zidane. unfortunately these guys do anything to stop the ball from getting into the opponents hands.
hehehhehe
11-07-2006 14:28:48
No, he is obviously known for bad fouls. That clip was from Italian TV. Why would they make a clip like that? Why would there be clips on youtube about how he's a "killer" or a "destructor" (before the WC even started)? It's because he's known to be that kind of player. YEah, bad fouls happen once in a while but there aren't that many players that do fouls like that all the time like I said. Those are nasty fucking fouls. If there are many, please name me a few. The clips on youtube were from before the cup.
Obviously I'm singling him out right now because of the zidane incident but those clips existed before the final. Support Italy all you want but at least admit he's a dirty player.

I don't hate you wink but I hate Materazzi. Even without the wiki, you gotta admit the guy has a bad reputation and I think there are enough clips going around to prove that. Even in his home country he's known to play like a dangerous prick. You can't tell me he plays just like everyone else is all I'm saying.

On that YouTube video, the Number 2 foul was unreal. Flying in with both feet in the air and slammed them into the guys chest.
That's dirtier than tylerc's mum.

Yeah, they're not "hard fouls" they are pretty much Chuck Norris martial arts kicks. He isn't going for the ball at all.

Like I said, you can ignore the wiki and watch the videos. Just because the wiki says something, and you discount it, doesn't mean everyone else that says the same thing is wrong. After all the clips, if you don't admit that he's reckless then there's no use reasoning with you so just drop it. They made a top five of his most ridiculously dangerous plays for fucks sake, on Italian TV (so there's no country bias).

That article has no evidence whatsoever that could disqualify Italy. They could fine and suspend the shit out of Materazzi but they can't do anything to the team. Since it was Materazzi who committed it then he'll be the one that recieves action from FIFA, if any.

LOL. I agree with the press one, though. The theatrical way that Materazzi fell to the ground definitely made the clip more broadcast-worthy.
Interestingly, Canal+ (french TV channel who did the Zidane interview) has the whole clip on their website, but they cut out the part of the conversation that TSJ and I mentioned. This part can be seen on the capped versions people uploaded on youtube though. Weird, huh?
FIFA is investigating the incident and should come up with their verdict on the 20th.

the taunt is revealed.
"We both spoke and I wasn't the first. I held his shirt but don't you think it is a provocation to say that 'if you want my shirt I will give it you afterwards'?
"I replied to Zidane that I would prefer his sister, that is true. I brought up his sister and that wasn't a nice thing, that is true," said Materazzi.
Heh. I would have told him to wait to get my shirt after the game too. lol
