  1. Your arguement is the only thing that is "bull".
    In 2002 Brasil were by far the best team there. They were not very tight at the back but they were one of the greatest attacking Brasil teams in recent memory. Everybody remembers the Ronaldo/Rivaldo/Ronaldinho Brasil team. And lets not forget the great full back pairing of Cafu and Roberto Carlos. To compare that team to Italy, who lets face it beat a poor German team here (they only got to the semi on host advantage) is unfair and unjust.

  2. I would like to know what was "controversial" about Brasil's victory in 2002?
    Germany's LUCKY run to the final that year was controversial. (Paraguay 0-1 Germany, Quarter Final USA 0-1 Germany, Semi Final South Korea 0-1 Germany- easiest run to the final EVER). South Korea's run to the semi was controversial (Dodgy reffing against Spain and Italy). Brasil's win was NOT controversial.

  3. LordAntWarrior — why are you watching an Italian video if you're a fan of Brazil? Please stick to watching videos of your wonderfully fortunate team win meaningless World Cups.

    And to answer your pathetic excuse for a response. The Brazilian team of '02 was called into question by one Pele for their unattractive attacking style. And we're fortunate to even qualify for the tournament.

  4. Brazil's road to the final (Turkey, China, Costa Rica, Belgium, England, Turkey and then Germany). Does that sound tougher than Italy's in '06? If that team had faced either Italy or Spain in the final, they would have been in big trouble.

    And moreover the '06 Brazilians were dubbed the strongest Brazilian team in recent memory.

    They were easily tossed aside by France. And to further respond to your ignorance. Germany was the strongest team in the tournament in '06.

  5. Italy was playing Germany in a stadium that they had never lost in since its creation. And still they came up with a stunning 2-0 victory.

    Face it — Italy going into the tournament was severely under rated — and had allowed very few goals to some strong competition (Czech Republic, USA, Ukraine, Germany, France). And if you want to make fun of the teams mentioned — two of them knocked off Brazil and Argentine.

    Get over it — Italy is the champions, and Brazil isn't. No matter what you say!

  6. First and foremost I am NOT a Brasil fan. I was born in England and the only national team I support is my them. But let's leave England out of this because the less said about my own national team the better. I fondly remember the 2002 World Cup and in my opinion that Brasil team were the best Brasil team since at least the 80's with Socrates etc. And that's saying something considering the 94 team won the World Cup as well.

  7. Your argument against the 2002 Brasil team is very flawed since you claim they played ugly attacking football yet that is exactly the style that Italy played in 2006 and continue to do so. And it is even worse because Italy are far more defensive minded.
    The 2002 tournament was a unique one in that none of the big teams were really any good- Argentina/Portugal/France out in the group stage, Italy and Spain eliminated by S Korea, England bottling it again.

  8. Like I say, Korea's run to the semi final was extremely dubious, and so Italy and Spain probarbly should have progressed further. But even so, you can't argue that either of the two played outstandingly well anyway- Italy only gained 4 points in thier group!
    So if Brasil were "controversial winners" (as continentalop99 said) then who, in your opinion should have won it?

  9. And as for your argument that Brasil had an easier road than Germany: If you consider Paraguay, USA and Korea bigger tests than Belgium, England and Turkey then you really don't know your stuff as much as you'd like to think. Sure, BOTH teams should have had harder paths to the final, but how was that possible when most of the big teams were already out?!?

  10. In regards to the 06 Brasil team- what does that have to do with this argument? Like I say, I am not a Brasil fan, so any insult against Brasil means nothing to me. I am the first to say that on paper, the 06 team should have licked everybody there. But the game isn't played on paper, and they deservedly lost. They weren't even a hundredth of the attacking team the 02 Brasil team was.

Zidane’s goal is all that matters, another chapter to a decade of greatness.

Few of the greatest athletes in any sport could write a fairy tale story book ending as Zidane is presented with. Few if perhaps none of them came out of retirement to participate in the greatest sporting event in the world and show mastery and dominance across different generations. As such is the greatness of the best midfielder in the last decade and arguably one of the greatest that played the game.

Legends Farewell

Portugal’s leader Luis Figo, France’s leader Zinedine Zidane — former teamates in Real Madrid, both born in 1972, legends of their time; have taken the field as gladiators engaging in their last duel inside a stadium filled with warriors and spectators witnessing an epic battle that span for more than a decade. Both played up to the best of their ability nothwithstanding any obstacles, have bravely and courageously fought for each possession prodding their team to stay together until the final whistle was blown.

Their legendary encounter became deeply dramatic as Figo was carried off the stadium on a stretcher, after smashing down on Patrick Vieira after his shot on the goal; realizing the fight was not over jumped out of his misery and continued to fight wounded.

In the end only one of them will leave the stadium victorious — Zidane. Both players respected each other as one accepted his fate, while the other received his congratulatory rewards and motivation to continue the battle one more time.

Team Breakdown

The game was truly an epic battle that showcased different flares and arsenals — Zidane’s masterful navigation of team plays, Patrick Vieira’s towering and commanding presence, Frank Ribery’s unpredictable speed shifts, Christian Ronaldo’s dazzling dribbles, Deco’s thirst for glory, Lilian Thuram’s great wall of defense.

Both teams were given the chance to thrust the spear deep into the hearts of their opponents with Thuram’s long ball on the first minute almost found the back of the net.

Portugal countered banking on hungry Deco with a low shot which saw the awesome saving powers of Fabien Barthez — building his case as the tournament’s best goalkeeper.

The game was scored via a foule by Ricardo Carvalho on Thiery Henry which saw cold blooded Zidane finishing the kill.

And so the enemy calls Master Zidane for one last battle .

  1. I have to say I preferred the Germany vs. Italy game to this one, just for the sheer build-up leading to that crisp one-two punch at the

    end–and I wasn’t even cheering for the Italians!

    Here, if only there was another goal to certify beyond scrutiny that France was indeed superior… I was losing my voice cheering for them

    along with other French fans at a packed café (caffè, i suppose, since it was an Italian joint in Little Italy), but a small part of me found

    itself siding with the on-air commentator, wishing for an equalizer during the 90, then another, non-penalty goal from Les Bleus to finish it

    off. Alas, it was not to be…penalty it was.

    Still, some really good plays: Barthez was impenetrable, Zizou is still full of tricks, and Ribery…I have never seen a man get up from a foul

    as fast as this hard-working man. A joy to watch.

    Anyway, in the excitement of it all, I got an idea to photoshop Les Bleus into a poster of the movie The Life Aquatic. The result: Team Zizou.

    I hope you enjoy it. 🙂
