and ppl are still talking about it.
not so much that italy won (YUCKS!!)
but more bout zidane
(italy's been completely overshadows. LOL)

i kinda caved a lil..
when to read a lil
on what happend to zidane.
well..
i don blame him at all for france's lost.
i don blame his actions.
there's no need for apologise.
to the children??
ok mabbe.
but then.. if thats(the children) so impt
why did the media keep showing it(the headbutt)
again n again?
won that be exposing it to more children?
you get what i mean??

anyways,
anyone wouldnt be able
to take any insults as such.
and because its zizou
everyone made a big fuss over it.
c'mon man..
he's only human la huh
the italians should be
sent off too for all the divings
and prollie materazzi
was milking that situation.
after seeing it(the headbutt) again
it was not as FULL-BLOODED as i tot.
gotta hurt though
but not as bad as materazzi made it look like.
oh ya.. actors..
my apologies.

there's so much more to say..
but i cant seem to put them in sentences.


these are taken off
paul thomas's article

Zidane cracked under the strain of being the poster boy for France's fragile multiculturalism, pontificated the man from the Independent.

"It was an act of cosmic discontent," burbled the man from the Times, "a futile gesture of protest against the cruelties of sport and the far greater cruelties of time".

t was also a big week for lip-readers as the media had them poring over the footage to determine what Italian defender Marco Materazzi said to transform Zidane from serene virtuoso into feral billygoat.

It seems lip-reading is an art rather than a science because their various conclusions ran the gamut of blood-feud insults, from impugning Zidane's sister's morals to simply wishing him and his entire family dead.

Whatever was said, if the object of sledging is to put your opponent off his game, this must go down as the mother of all sledges.

.

But all the versions of Materazzi's taunt are worse; they positively drip with malice and toxic intent.

When the truth comes out, Materazzi's private victory may prove to be pyrrhic and Italy's World Cup triumph may be more tarnished than Zidane's career.

Or not. No matter what depths Materazzi plumbed, it won't change the fact that Italy won.

.
.

Despite the condemnation and sorrow based on the hasty assumption that this was a career-defining act, the storm will blow over and Zidane will be remembered as one of the greatest players of his era.

If he's also remembered as a flawed individual rather than a shining example, I doubt he'll complain.

And after the hand-wringing and attempts to saddle both Zidane and his folly with a significance they don't warrant, we're left with the irony that amidst all the faked injuries and simulated agony that disfigured this tournament, the heaviest censure was reserved for someone who might very well have suffered a genuine hurt.

oh,
Italian senator and prominent
Northern League politician Roberto Calderoli,
has been quoted as saying that France
"sacrificed its identity by fielding a team of blacks,
Islamists and communists".

ERGH!!!
