Italy Champs, Socceroos second?
Well the World Cup is over and Italy are the champs
Italy are world champions for the fourth time after beating ten-man France 5-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in Berlin’s Olympiastadion on Sunday, 9 July 2006.Twelve years after losing to Brazil in the first shoot-out in a FIFA World Cup Final, Italy made up for that heartbreak as all five men in blue converted their kicks to claim world football’s greatest prize for the first time since 1982. For France the pain of defeat was compounded by the sight of Zinedine Zidane, on his last appearance as a professional, leaving the field having been sent off in extra time for butting Marco Materazzi off the ball
ITALY 1-1 FRANCE a.e.t 5-3 PSO
You can’t help thinking what might have happened had that questionable penalty hadn’t been given in the Aussie Socceroos game with Italy. Then again there is probably hundreds of what ifs coming out of this World Cup.
Congrats to the Italians and (hopefully) see you in 4 years time!
GO AUSSIES
