It is a sad day.
France lost to the team that is most undeserving of the cup. The team that dived to cheat a penalty out of Australia. The team that played rough against the U.S. when they were outplayed. The team that resorts to the underhand methods against Germany to get one of their players banned for a match.
Sadly, there was no divine justice. Not even a poetic one. I wasn’t wrong when I said ‘divine justice is the wishful thinking of the delusional’. I am right about that comment because that shithead Grosso who dived in the game against Australia, scored the final goal.
Yet, France didn’t lose at the penalty. It lost, when Zidane head-butted one of the Shit-talians. It was a behaviour that is most unworthy of any sportsman, even though he can say he was provoked by the Shit-taly player who stick an arm out to obstruct him.
Why he did it is probably everyone’s question. Frustration? Or simply to find an excuse to leave the pitch so that he wouldn’t be held responsible for France’s ultimate loss? We will never know. But it is a sad way for Zidane and Barthez to end their careers.
Shit-taly didn’t win because it was good. And that is a fact when France held them to a draw for 90 minutes. France then hold them down for another 30, with only 10 men on the pitch for the last 10 minutes of the game. Shit-taly fans might argue that if not for that penalty awarded to Zidane, then it would have already been decided but hell, they probably wouldn’t even be playing here if not for that undeserving penalty against Australia.
Whatever the case is, the World Cup is over. Let Euro 2008 prove that Shit-taly is undeserving of this championship.
