italy was a dirty, lucky, and boring team in the world cup. rossi elbowed the american guy, and materazzi provoked zidane. they won on penalties despite defending for most of the match, and had an easy path to the finals except the germany game which they got lucky to score in last minute. they were saved due to an incorrect call in the last second of the game against australia. they were boring because they played defensive and didnt have an attacking star player. however, either way they won, even though some teams deserved to win instead thats just how it is, luck is part of the tournament. so despite these facts, you cant blame italy for winning. they won and thats it. its not like they should be stripped of their trophy.
i have always liked italy but agree with most of what you say here...except you must admit to one fact about that wc winning team and that is the fact that though kinda borring and dirty at times, they played to their strength(defense), and with a preplanned strategy, almost every minute of the wc. any team that deciplined to follow their coaches plan to the t..deserve the outcome of their efforts.
and i love zidan he was the best player and the class act of the tournament regardless of all the drama of the headbutt...and his departure didnt cause france to loose out in the final....when you miss 2 out of 5 penalties...you are bound to loose....its simple as that..!
