fair for italy to lift w-cup after so many years of desperation to win and convert penalties .Great come back by france from danger of relegation to make it to finals beating strong opponents credit goes to both the defences of team and special praise for zizou for his exceptional skills

ITALY are the best

They weren't going to miss the penalties this time. Italy were just mentally the strongest team in the tournament. Their attack wasn't very effective, but whose was (besides Argentina). Matches are now usually decided by 1 goal difference. Defense was definitely the best.
I think the Buffon save off Zidane header said it all. They had faith in themselves, were gritty and determined all through, and hung on knowing that it isn't over until it is over.
All this coming with the situation back at home, and changing their normal style of play to attacking, only shows their mindset and determination.
2006 World Cup to ITALY was destined ...

Hurray!ITALY have done it.
WOW lets hope that we can have the connection .....u know how i will explain this to u....
1. The color of their uniform is blue as like ours.
2. Their country's name begins with "I" as like ours.
3. They last won it 24 years ago from now.Likewise we can also win the ICC World Cup 2007 which will be also be held in same time span.
4. And ,lastly the only connection is SONIA GANDHI.

France's defeat. Was Zinedine Zidan's removal the reason?
by Shyamal Mitra FCA on Jul 10, 2006 04:17 AM

Italy had suffered defeat in the World Cup in the previous to last tournament to France mainly due to removal of several stalwarts due to intended physical injuries meted out in the worst fouls by the French. Francisco Totti's being the most remembered case. It did not take the authorities to put restrictive strong measures to prevent this ugly desplay of unsportsmanship at the highest level.

Two tournaments later today the Italian captain asked for a body search of a French player in apprehension of hidden lethal material. That search off course went futile. The actual knife of malice lay hidden in the French Captain's heart which he openly revealed to the world by hitting the chest of the unsuspecting Italian scorer of the single goal, with double the intensity of the header that he Zinedine Zidan had failed to convert. He earned the Red Card and was removed and may had not let his team lose out if he had lasted to participate in the penalty shoot outs. Viva France!
