I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!! I just read that FIFA president Joseph Blatter told the Italian newspaper "La Repubblica" that they might take away Zidane's Golden Ball! He said that his foul was against the thought of Fair Play and that he wouldn't deserve it anymore even though he had a brilliant career. It's not sure what the FIFA will decide, but at least there's a discussion about whether Zidane can keep the award or not.. (German) Source: http://sport.orf.at/fussball/

It's for the DVD, definitely! Chris, GET YOUR ASS INTO THE STUDIO AND EDIT THE F*CKIN' THING :P

Yeah I'm sure she's certain about that now. And I agree with your opinion that words CAN be valued as much as actions!

I didn't explain you the winking story because you obviously don't know enough about this World Cup to even discuss it with me! That's why I didn't want to waste my time doing so.. If a person would just ask me what it's about, I wouldn't have a problem with it, but a person who says I'm wrong and all that stuff, why should I? I know that you said you didn't know much about football, and if you ONLY watch your country's game, then you can't be objective, of course! You gotta admit that! Alright, the winking story: After Ronaldo went over to the referee and wanted a red card for Rooney and Rooney was sent off the field, Ronaldo left and winked over to his teammates - you can watch it on youtube if you type in something like "Rooney Red Card".. You can just see how arrogant Ronaldo is, he's just winking in the way like "Haha he's gone, mission accomplished"..

@ TracieMorgan: don't worry, we'd never say you think of all Germans as nazis! It's the same like calling every Algerian a terrorist and you obviously don't think that!

I knew it, they were always saying that he "must talk to his family" - being a coach is a very stressful, time-consuming, busy job and his family must be sick of it. He's got enough money to go back to California and be with his family, it's good like that :) And Joachim Löw is brilliant, he's about the same age as Klinsmann, he has seen his colleague working with the team and he KNOWS how to do it! He's gonna make it :D

Totally agree with you both!

It's not true, there has already been a statement - they just said that William Orbit recorded some vocals of Gwyneth to use it for another album, not her own! And wikipedia.org isn't trustworthy, as you know, EVERYONE can write in there, so a fan must have written it after the rumour came up, that's all!

Awww what a cute picture, thanks Alex :D He looks A LOT like Apple, doesn't he? The hair, the face.. Very cute :)

I have NO idea how this whole thing works but congratulations anyway, Nik :D

^ Haha hilarious, YOU just wrote 4 billion posts about the same thing, like I mentioned before - and when you obviously don't know ANYTHING about this World Cup and you don't even know anything about the WINKING, then I don't even have to talk to you because then you don't have ANY useful arguments against my opinion.

@ iriden: I won't let you call me childish - I get ALL football discussions are childish because they're useless. I realised that a while ago but it seems like I just can't stop to talk about it anyway :P But I'm not childish, I'm pissed - of course you never said that Italians are perfect, but I'm sick of the fact that no Italian gives a fuck about what Mazeratti did.. I understand it someway, you probably just want to celebrate and don't think of HOW you won.. I'm not saying that it all depended on this one incident, but the fact that Mazeratti obviously knew EXACTLY what he was doing and he knew how to provoke the most important player of the opposite team, is just shady..

This is kinda funny: http://foobar.sytes.net/zidane/zidane.htm :P

Ooh sorry :P Spring 2007, of course

Of course not, I don't think she meant it that way.. I mean, not every Algerian is a terrorist either, right? :P So - when Materazzi calls Zidane a terrorist it's the same like when he calls a German a nazi, both totally wrong!

I heard today that the first tickets will be sould in Spring 2006 - so I'll try to keep the friendship up till that time :P

Thanks mates, I'm going to watch it when I'm back home and can watch it with sound.

Materazzi has now admitted that he insulted Zidane. He doesn't say WHAT he said though - he says that he pulled Zidane on his trikot and Zidane said jokingly "If you want the trikot, I can give it to you later" - Mazeratti obviously didn't get the joke and said Zidane was being "arrogant" and that's why he insulted him.. He says though that he didn't say anything about his mother and doesn't "even know what a terrorist is".. Oh I don't believe this bastard anything he says.. He's obviously just inventing this "arrogant"-thing to find an excuse.. The video of the whole game proves that Mazeratti has been annoying Zidane all the game through, so it wasn't only this trikot-pulling-situation..

I've only seen one Joga Bonito ad on youtube, they don't show these fantastic ads over here :( At least I haven't seen them yet..

huntjd, you're my new hero, what you said is absolutely right and one of the smartest things I heard so far in this section!! absolutely true!

That's NEVER a reason for not being racist! I know a person whose best friend is Turkish but he's still a racist.. I even know Turkish, Algerian, etc who are that Austrian inside that they are against Turkish, Algerian, etc as well.. That's never an excuse! It's true that we don't know WHAT he said, but he said something cruel and what he did wasn't alright - we don't defend Zidane, we say that the Italian players aren't perfect, and you should finally stop denying that!!

Haha yes he does :P

Make one of Moses, too - same rights for everyone :P

Aww this one is adorable Well done!! :D

Awww how great that Jonny is being appreciated now, too - there were several articles about him around lately :D
