Although I agree that Zidane had a weird exit, Italy wasn't near the level that France delivered during the second half and the extra time. Winning on penalty kicks is simply sad but that's the name of the game....
Zidane will be remembered no matter what, i think much more than people will remember that Italy won the cup.
I admit that I do not usually follow soccer (footbol), but my interest was obviously spurred by my recent visit to Italy and the fact that Italy was in it ...
I also think it is a pity that after so long a battle on the field, the game should be decided by penalty kicks ... the truth be told, not once during the penalty kicks did either goalie come close to blocking a shot ... if it were not for the missed kick ... ??? ...
However, if Italy's performance were no where near that of France, shouldn't France have been able to score ??? ... or perhaps it was only by their extra effort that France kept Italy from scoring ...
