world cup mad
Personally I wish France will be the champion of the 2006 world cup.. but in some way, I think Italy has higher chance to win... hmm. So I insisted to wake up this morning around NZ time 5.30am to watch this match. Like to see the calm look of France's captain, Zidane. He looks so calm, confident, discipline and possesses a strong leadership's spirit. Surprisingly, he scored the first goal at the 7 minutes of the first beginning match.. yahoo!
Then, after 13 minutes for the first score by Zidane, the Italy hit the first goal too. So 1:1. The match was getting excited as two teams seemed aiming for the world cup award. They played extra time and still 1:1, and during the extra time match, Zidane was sent off from the game as he headbutted the Italy player.. sad sad sad.... and finally both teams had to face the cruel penalties to decide who is the champion... And 5:3 Italy finally brought the world cup back to home country. I saw the sadness look of France players and coach in the TV screen, they are just so unlucky...
Zidane, is 34 years old player and he will retire after this world cup..even though France gained the second place, but France still the top in my opinion...cheers! At least, they showed the sportship and teamwork in the game.. I hate that Italy player insulted Zidane and caused him to receive red card from referee. well, this is just my feeling.. No offensive to any Italy fans, ok?

Vino!
Thanks for being a great reviewer! The winning of Italy team is not too surprised me, but knowing that Zidane was seen the red is a bit sad :( Good to hear that you enjoyed the match and were still able to go to school in the morning! Sweet!
Hi Vino,
Great to know that you were one of the billion people who watched world cup final. Without question, I didn't miss the game too. In order to get the "first class" seat, I went to the school auditorium 2 hours before the game started (the games began at 2p.m US time). Huat said i was crazy, but the funny thing was he followed his crazy wife to go there early :p
I felt sad when Zidane was given a red card, although i was not France supporter. But i do agree that he should pay for his rudeness. As a senior and experience player, he should know the consequent of his action. No one understand why he did so in that critical moment. However, one thing he should feel proud is that the president of France, Chirac declared to stands on his side no matter how other people criticizing him.
I am so happy when i see the title "Word Cup mad" in your blog so decide to leave few words here.
Hi Er,
What a impressed title at my post yeah? world cup mad, hahah. Yeah, I am crazy for the world cup match. Even though not really keen on the football rule, but really have fun when watching it! Yeah, i still support Zidane. I think everyone do have a certain patience and if it is over the edge of the patience, then no choice have to burst out! Feel good that Zidane still managed to get the best footballer award...thks for leaving your long msg here. >p
