EHM-1633 José:
From the very first moment I saw Zidane reaction, I supposed that the Italian player had told him something really hard. It´s logical then, a reaction like that. But I think as a professional player, Zidane must be cold-blooded and keep himself calm. Maybe afterwards he could have told that to the referee, so that he can take a decission about it.

It is not good to see physical agressions in a football match, as well as insults, etc...

EHM-0361 Karsten:
of topic:I guess I'm back, didn't figur I would be back before September. But the schedule isn't as packed as I had thought.
Well back to the topic. As I have said before I don't watch that much football. But I have to agree with José, physical agressions and insults don't belong in football or more less any sport. I mean boxing wouldn't be the same without physical agression. I think that some players sometimes forget that when they are playing, they are rolemodels for many kids all over the world. And by doing something like this they send a message that it's okay to insult others and it's okay comit physical agressions aginst others, especially if the refere don't see it.
Regarding the whole thing with Zidane and Materazzi. There are only two people that know what happen. So we can only guess, but I'm rather sure that Materazzi said something that he shouldn't have said. And a good guess is something insulting about Zidanes family. I know that Materazzi say that he didn't say anything like that, but the fact that he's not telling would he say. Lead me to believe that it very bad, and that the truth might hurt his images.
Regarding the Rooney affair, well theres nothing new about that. I mean this time it was Rooney. Last World Cup or European Cup time it was Backham that was sent off. I'm sure that there are still some english fans that can remember the name Kim Milton Nielsen, he was the danish ref that sent Backham off. I can remember that didn't go down to well with the english fans. But that's old history, the same ref did in fact one or two years later sent off a Manchester United player during a european club match, oh what was the name of the player, oh yes that's right, his name was Rooney.
I think it a bit sad that Portugal didn't make it to the final, but I guess guess there is still a chance that some of the players can get nominated for an Oscar. I some of the players might be able to win for best performance as an injuried player, that by the stroke of magic get's fit again. As soon as they figur out that the ref didn't buy it.
Lastly I guess I should say Congratulations to Italy! You beat the odds. Now the fun begins for all the other teams. I mean for the next four years Italy is the team that everyone wants to beat. And the pressure is on already, I mean Italy needs to prove themself at the European Cup, otherwise some may just think it was all luck.

EHM-1001 Robert:
Well,

for first congratulation to Italy, although I am not sure they really deserved the prize.

I mean about the matches, and mainly the final, as they played it. They played like Brasil sometimes: there were no plans, there were not any spice in their play, and I thought they will lost in the end. But not... I hate penalties, it is not the way a match should be ended. The golden goal should be the right choice.

Although I feel sad about what Zidane did, I think the respect part should be mentioned on Materazzi and not on Zidane. I do not think that Materazzi will ever reach to a level where Zidane reached, and he will not be ever a so skilled player on the field. So he should respect Zidane first, and not telling him what he said, instead thinking on the game: FOOTBALL, and try to score the goals ! Football is about goals, and not about menthal wars. Materazzi should act like Cannavaro or Gattuzo on the playfield, and thinking about the goals. The same is true for the Portuguese. If they acted less and played more with the ball, they would reach higher !

I also feel said about Trezeguet. He did not have a real chance to show what he can. They had a fantastic shoot with Wiltord, just as they did on the last EuroChamps. I am sure if the coach let him play and let the team play with 3 strikers like, Henry, Trezeguet and Wiltord/Zidane they would tear apart the Italian defense within a minute. But this did not happen... They played the same style as the Italians, and unfortunately they could not score a goal. But at the end the camera showed Trezeguet for minutes, like the person who caused the tragedy: missed the penalty. But he was not THE reason, it was the reason of a bad tactics by the French coach...

I am not a big football fan, but I did not really like this Championship: many teams could not show their superior capabilities, because of the bad tactics, waving performances, and the mentioned things which should not appear at all on the field...

EHM-1001 Robert:
Poor little Materazzi...



...that is what I am talking about !

EHM-1821 Javier:
I dont get it, why is he poor? is he the one who tackled all those other players?
