World Cup 2006


Italy has won World Cup 2006. They triumphed over France, who had eliminated Brazil earlier in the tournament.

France’s star, Zinedine Zidane, got an early goal for France, but Italy rebounded with a header by Marco Materazzi that flew past France’s goalie. Zidane got angry with Materazzi and head-butted him in the chest. He was red-carded, and left the field as a disappointed Frenchman.

The real heroes of the World Cup are Germany. They played well as a team and had so much skill; it was amazing to watch. In the third place game against Portugal, they delayed until the end, giving a final score of 3-1. After a while, it was evident that Germany was just playing with the Portuguese. In my opinion, the final should have been Italy vs. Germany, but things just don’t turn out my way consistently.
