France Vs Italy....Ah what a dirty game of football it was. Yes! I'm calling it dirty! Have you people seen those real clumsy tackles by Gattuso on Zidane. Everytime they were poking their legs from behind on Zizou, when he was thru, faking 2 or 3 italian defenders. Right from the begining they were targeting zizou. I'm not saying that it's not fair to check a good player, but not by some clumsy tackles. I'm pretty sure that Materazzi Marco must have racial abused, Zidane. A French Algerian, Zidane is descended from the nomadic Kabyle tribe of north Africa and has fronted anti-racism campaigns in his native France. Zidane is not what we all have witnessed. In fact he's the most coolest player in football world and it needs something special to arouse Zidane.
I also used to play football, and it's really very annoying if everytime someone is giving some blow on your legs from behind, especailly when you have faked out that player. I've seen many people boiling on such occasions. Zizou was very tolerant through out the match, and what happened in that extra time was just an impulse or a burst. I think it must be in Italy's strategy to make such a calm player do something rough like that. If any other player in this world would have gone through such a foul play, he would have done something more brutal, what zizou have done, and much more before. Have you people seen Italy celebrating? They preferred to lift Gattuso on their shoulders rather than the goal scorer. Why? If that's the way to win a world cup, I'll say in next world cup you are going to see more of this Zizou act. I'm not saying that what Zidane did was the right thing to do. But people do these things without thinking. It's just an implse which tempts you to do such thing. I've also felt same things on a football field or a basketball court. I clearly understand, what Zizou was going through. He was targetted by Italians. Italians were playing with the motive that we'll play rough on Zidane unless the referee cautions us. I'm really disappointed with this type of negative football by Italy.
