The point of the game is to *win*. You do what you can do within the rules to accomplish the point. Italy did that masterfully, and France should learn something.

Sorry, but I saw the game and you didn't. France was the divers/foppers AND the flagrant foulers.
France got their bogus goal masterfully thru a forward flop in the box for a penalty kick. So lame.
Let's say you are up against Michael Jordan in the NBA finals in Game 7 in Overtime. Do you really expect him to head-butt you and possibly get ejected from the game?
When the NHL went from 1 referee to 2, some veterans were caught with their "hand in the cookie jar". I remember Rick Tocchet sucker punching a guy during a faceoff when he thought the ref was not looking at him. Whoooops, the Second Ref rang him up for a 5 Minute Major Penalty for fighting. Whooopps.
Zidane was just soooo arragont that he thought he could get away with a hurtful flagrant foul, and you know what, he can't. Fuck him, swine frog. May his dead career never find peace.
