What can I say, a match worth staying up for ... even managed to blag in some winnings on the full time 1-1 draw. And the icing on the cake is definitley the Italian win by penalties after extra time. The world witnessed an early 7th min debatable penalty, 19th min equalizer, handful of yellow cards and even a headbutt.
Kinda of a terrible way to settle the scores via penalties. Barthez didn't really have the chance to touch any of the balls, Henry + Vieira got replaced earlier on in the game and the best surpise came when Zidane got sent off by doing this. ...
Amazing he tried to pretend nothing happened in the 2 mins when the referee was trying to split up the 2 camps arguing ... not sure what caused this reaction though.
But respects to the Italian team - in particular Buffon (supposedly the best goalkeeper in the world) who makes goalkeeping look so easy; and Cannavaro for being the reliable sturdy stallion. I am sure many would agree with me that his role in defence has kept the team alive through the last 7 matches.
Now, to worry about trying to get up in time for work in a couple of hours ...
