HAIL THE GREAT ITALIANS!!!

I know that this must be a bit late to mention about the victory of the Azurris but hey... it's the World Cup and the finale of the World Cup deserves of course some attention especially from a football afficionado like me...

With that said and done, I think the finals wasn't the finals that I had hoped for, but thank goodness it was the Italians who won. It's time to have pizza and goodbye snails...

Alright now for the winners...

• Marco Materazzi scored the first goal for Italy in a very beautiful header.

• Andrea Pirlo, Marco Materazzi who scored the equaliser, Daniele Da Rossi, Alessandro Del Piero and Fabio Grosso all scored from 12 yards out to send the Italians into celebration and the French into mourning.(5-3)

• Thank you for destroying the hopes and dreams of the French and their fans. It was sweet.( I'm sorry but the French had so many chances and they din make the most out of it.)
  

And now for the losers,

• There were two very great headers from Zizou, the "Magician" . Both were great in accuracy and power.
  
• The first really tested the skills of the most expensive goalkeeper of the world, Gianluigi Buffon, tipping it off the target over the post. If it wasn't for him, France may have won(ok may..ppl)
• The second was a headbutt on the chest of Materazzi, which resulted in the dramatic send off as seen above. WHAT A SHAME for such a great footballer at this crucial moments.
• David Trezeguet, succesfully missed his penalty, resulting in 3-5 which sealed the victory for France.

But let's not forget what the World Cup has achieved. It brought people from all races and all walks of life to a common interest and passion, football. The World Cup has not seen any violence or riots from fans nor has it seen any acts of terrorism. Football was the world's language during the entire tournament. Friendships were fostered between winners and losers. Everyone had a great time. The World Cup is indeed the greatest show on Earth.
