2006 World Cup: France Loses to Italy

Italy beat France in the 2006 World Cup in penalty kicks. But for me the game was lost when Zidane headbutted Marco Materazzi in the chest, apparently in retaliation for a verbal insult from the Italian player. Up until that moment, it was a fun and exciting game, but afterwards I could barely stand to watch. I couldn’t have been more shocked if a weapon had been used on the field. What an awful way to end the game – and his career.

    I’m a great admirer of French culture, probably

    that’s why I followed (not watched!), all Amelie Mauresmo’s games, and I was the most pleased

    with her victory! As for the World Cup, there are there enough people to look at 22 mature men

    running after one ball, so I prefered to spend some valuable time with my 3 year old! As for

    Zizou…
