gotta say this -- the ghosts of WWII are laid to rest, Germany is now to be viewed as a different entity from that of the 30s and 40s. You support Israel, you make great beer, you throw great footie tournaments and you have a German Pope. As they'd say in Fawlty towers -- don't mention the war
Maybe not, but France were attacking in the OT periods, and even if they didn't score on the field, had ZZ been avaiable, France might have put 5 in the net during the PK.
We don't know for sure how the game would have ended with Zidane IN, but we sure know how it ended with him OUT.
