And you are right, Raul-- Zidane, a modest man with a lifetime reputation as a team player who always responded well to constructive criticism, clearly just showed his "true barbaric color" in 06. We know it was the Italians. Get over it. Nice stuff.

I put a video below of the game between South Korea and Italy, when the refs absolutely ruined the affair. It seems that recent fans (a fan since watching the Zizou headbutt) seem to brand the Italians as diving cheaters, but to any true football fan you have to understand why a team might be acting the way they are. If justice isn't being served, why continue being taken advantage of? Anyway, just a thought! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4iW8pDnft8 I know everyone hates on the Italians for using dirty tactics to claim the 2006 World Cup, but I think it needs to be said just how badly the Italians were duped in 2002 World Cup.
