End of World Cup 2006
Over the weekends, we witness the end of world cup with the finals played between Italy and France. It was a close game and no one expected the score line to be 1-1 in only 15 mins time which continued until the end of extra time.
Zidane gave a superb header during the extra time and he'll be retiring from international football in style, with a red card :) Both teams played well until the penalties. Trezeguet missed his penalty which caused France the loss while Italy scored all five to win the World Cup 2006.

France might have a better chance if only Henry and Zidane was there for penalties. Both goal keepers did not manage to save any penalties and I still think Ricardo (Portugal) is simply one of the best keepers around.
Nevertheless, it's a good world cup and Italy has now won for 4 times, catching up with Brazil soon. Lets wait another 4 years and see who would be the next world cup winner. The 2010 world cup would be held in South Africa - first ever in the African continent.
