Maybe he was thinking of Brandi Chastain. v China
LOL ... take two guys off the field for each team and go sudden death, a la the NHL.
What is this thing they call "World Cup"?
It must have been something pretty impressive. Still, wait 5 minutes and kick his ass after the whistle...
A cure for insomnia or foosball on a field
Okay after that Zidane incident I'm all about Italy. That was incredibly poor sportsmanship and humanity on display. My m-i-l just said, well, he's Mr. France all right: everything I ever felt might be true about the French attitudes is embodied in that move.
It's in!
Italy 1, France 0
1-0 Italy
Italy 1, France 1
EqUALIZER 1-1
Good strike. no games, just put it in the corner. Goal keeper had no chance even if he guessed rignt. Same for the first French pK.
Yeah, I remember that picture of her.
Penalty kicks are such a ridiculous way to end a game.
Almost pure luck, if you ask me.
Into the corner!
Italy 2, France 1
And if France does win, he misses the player-euphoria, crowning glory in achievement of his whole career. And for what. Amazingly stupid maneuver on his part.
if they tie the first PKs, to they keep doing penalty kicks?
They are ridiculous but the players are really too tired to do any more OT, aren't they?
They could have just done this at the beginning and saved everyone the time. ;o)
Off the Crossbar, still 2-1 Italy leading.
Yep, they keep going til someone loses an 'inning,' if I'm not mistaken.
that was a French choke
