It was a great victory for France. Having one of the most determined team in the world France managed to take home the 1998 World Cup. This time french people were able to see an exhibition game in Paris at the St. Denis Stadium. Most of the original players attended, like Zinedine Zidane who has […]
I’m glad we’ve all learned one thing from the whole Zidane - Materazzi headbutt furore, lip readers don’t have a bloody clue what they’re doing. Let’s take a run through the various lip reading efforts from the experts as reported by the press:
THE SUN:
Materazzi called Zidane a “son of a terrorist whore”
and just for good […]
I’m a big fan of the introduction of technology into football where it can help the match officials make the correct decision on contentious issues though, in the World Cup Final, Zidane’s sending off was far from contentious. Anyone who seen it knew instantly that it was a straight red card offence for violent conduct […]
So it took a penalty shoot out to seperate the teams and in the end I’m happy to see the Italians lift the World Cup. They’ve stuck together and shown a willingness to overcome the problems i ntheir domestic game throughout the tournament and what more fitting a finale for them than for Grosso to […]
So with the game poised at 1-1 at half time I’m leaping online to give a quick overview of what I’ve seen so far. The first 35 minutes were good with plenty of passion and effort rather than skill or guile and despite Malouda’s obvious dive for the French penalty I think the first half […]
Heartbreak for the plucky Germans as Italy’s never say die attitude (and a distinct desire NOT to have to face the Germans at penalties in their own backyard) saw them through to the World Cup Final in easily the finest game of the tournament so far.
Both sides have forced their critics to eat their words […]
When will Wayne Rooney ever learn? A couple of days after being sent off and contributing to his country’s dismal exit from the 2006 World Cup, everyone’s favourite lovable rogue Scouser has threatened to take all action necessary to exact his revenge upon his clubmate Cristiano Ronaldo for his part in his sending off.
A fantastic […]
So England have fallen at the quarter final stage of a major tournament once again and now that the tears have stopped being cried we can have the armchair experts on messageboards, blogs and radio phone-in shows telling us all exactly how much of the blame everyone has to take. I’m going to run through […]
What better way to end the epic quarter final clash between the two best performing teams at this year’s World Cup than with the Germans keeping up their fantastic penalty shootout record and a fullscale brawl erupting on the pitch!
The match itself did turn into something of a chess stalemate at times with both sides […]
French defender Lilian Thuram received unanimous applause from the assembled media at France’s press conference for refuting French National Front leader Jean Marie Le Pen’s claims that the French squad weren’t “French” enough because there were too many “players of colour” in the current squad.
(See article online from The Guardian newspaper)
Thuram himself was born on […]
