World Cup Champions 2006 -- go Italia!

Wow. Hell of a game. And anyone else catch Zindane's head-butt?* I don't care what the other player said about his momma, that is NOT the way you want to end a two-decade career.

Considering Italy just won on penalty kicks after they ran out of overtime, he's going to have to do some significant fast-talking once he gets home. Assuming they let him go home.


I feel the urge to open one of my Barolos. :-)



*after very normal back-and-forth, he turns around and slams the top of his head into his opponent's chest. The ball was nowhere near him, it was purely a reaction to trash-talking.
