FRANCE 1 - 1 ITALY 
(Italy win 5-3 on penalty kicks)
(Other than the obvious), this was a great game.
France played very well and I think deserved to win until their captain, Zinadine Zidane, imploded and head butted an Italian defender.
Ummmmm....WTF?
Seriously, what goes through your head at that point? Did he think that the sideline ref wouldn't see it? All that guy does is watch the defenders!
I don't agree with some who've said that this whole head butt thing has ruined Zidane's brilliant career....it's scratched it a little, but I don't think it'll scar it for life. He's still a spectacular footballer.

The rest of the extra time goes on without a goal and we move on to penalty kicks.
All players made their kicks EXCEPT for David Trezeguet....he hits the crossbar.
That's all the Italians needed.
I still think that the Italians dive a little too much, but they're the World Cup Champions!
