Same with Italy v Germany in this tournament, though - that's the game of the tournament for me. And Italy's 1-0 goal wasn't exactly the result of "good organisation" (though admittedly Germany's defending was very shoddy).BoyBrumby said:
Players like Littbarski, Voller & Klinsmann had more creativity than this whole Italian team put together. Even old Lothar hadn't yet regressed to the moribund slouch he later became. They absolutely tore a pre-split Yugoslav team a new one (4-1, IIRC) with the kind of performance I couldn't imagine from yer Eye-talians.Samuel_Vimes said:
Mass jumping around, dancing and general over-emotional Italian melodramatics. Camoranesi had some of his hair cut off, obviously pre-planned. Materazzi put on a giant Italy hat, which he kept wearing when recieving his medal, and also put on top of the World Cup before it was presented. Italians kept kissing and touching Cup before it was presented. Not that it was presented, more rushed up to Cannavaro before it was carried away.FaaipDeOiad said:

Not gonna argue, since I didn't see it, but I've always imagined Germany as the dull winners of the dullest cup in history. (since rivalled by 02).BoyBrumby said:
Zidane, but that's not the point. You presented him as a hard man, and any hard man I can think of would get up and spark the bald git. Just proved that he's no rock after all. Just a big nancy clod whose challenges are clumsy most of the time and cynical the rest of it.TT Boy said:
I dunno enough about the Argentina of '78 to comment, but they were the beneficiaries of a very dodgy game v Peru, complete with their Argentine "born" keeper.TT Boy said:
People who would do that sort of thing would not play in World Cup finals. Marco did what any other player in football did, milked it does not mean his not hard or is seemingly a Nancy boy because he did not react violently.steds said:
