Andrea,
Unfortunately, I watched nearly all the 1998 World Cup matches except for the one against Italy. I only made it back home in time to watch the semi and final. But any players in any teams that play 'dirty' football should be looked at as a disgrace to their country, I agree. I don't think Italy shouldn't deserve their win, only I should say that Materazzi did not deserve his cup, even though he was the one that tied the score for Italy.
