FORZA ITALIA..... Goals: 10. ZIDANE Zinedine (7' PEN) 23. MATERAZZI Marco (19') Penalties:Pirlo, Materazzi, De Rossi and Del Piero all scorted with their spot-kicks for the Azzurri but although Sylvain Wiltord, Eric Abidal and Sagnol replied for France, Trezeguet’s miss let in Grosso to win the Trophy for Italy.Zinedine Zidane gave France the lead in the seventh minute with a penalty, and Italy quickly equalised when Materazzi rose well above France midfielder Patrick Vieira to head home a perfectly curled corner from Pirlo in the 19th minute. Italy conceded two goals in the whole tournament, one was an own goal and in the final there was a penalty. Italy are world champions for the fourth time (just one behind fat boy Ronaldo's Brazil) after beating ten-man France 5-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in Berlin's Olympiastadion. Italy trails only Brazil in total titles: 5 - Brazil ,4 -
Italy ,3 - West Germany , 2 - Argentina, Uruguay (England is not in the list because 1 win does not carry weight he..he..he... ?
Lots of rumours now about Zidane vs Materazzi incident. Zidane in his final match for France was seen in heated arguments with Materazzi throughout the match. It was flashed all over the world when Zidane unleashed the Headbutt into Materazzi's chest, knocking the Italian to the ground. For that he received a red card in the waning minutes of the second half of extratime.BBC Radio Five Live asked for help from a deaf lip reader, Jessica Rees, who read the words phonetically to an Italian translator. She deciphered the insult as being "you're the son of a terrorist whore" - a translation also carried by many national newspapers in Britain on Tuesday.
