That is how I saw it as well. Had he not gotten knocked out, he had a very good scoring chance.

I know this is heresy, but is there anything that can be done on a global stage to prevent this "goal and then defensive turtling for 80 minutes" that we're going to see?

SI

Even in replay, I still can't say either way if he got clipped. I believe the ref made the approrpriate call though.

Hell of a goal by Italy

kingfc22 · 07-09-2006, 01:19 PM

And we have an equalizer

sterlingice · 07-09-2006, 01:19 PM

Univision is fun to switch over to on goals

Equalizing goals?

Celeval · 07-09-2006, 01:25 PM

French not looking badly on attack.

The French are taking a US approach to defending set pieces.

Easy Mac · 07-09-2006, 01:37 PM

i want whatever they poured on Perotta's ankle. Fucker nearly had to have it amputated, but they poured the contents of a gatorade bottle on it, and he's perfect.

Vinatieri for Prez · 07-09-2006, 01:40 PM

Wow!! Who was that french blonde in the crowd!

terpkristin · 07-09-2006, 01:46 PM

Only 2 minutes being added on?! I'm surprised.

/tk

Easy Mac · 07-09-2006, 01:46 PM

2 minutes of extra time? Henry was down for about 4. Perotta was down for another 2. Add at least 1 minute for each goal as well.

cthomer5000 · 07-09-2006, 01:48 PM

I was also surprised at the really short amount of injury time... seemed like it shoud have been 4+.

Celeval · 07-09-2006, 02:09 PM

Henry twice could have gone down for a penalty but didn't... he's finally showing his club form.

Celeval · 07-09-2006, 02:12 PM

Very nice series of runs.

Celeval · 07-09-2006, 02:12 PM

Makeup (lack of) call?

Vinatieri for Prez · 07-09-2006, 02:14 PM

yep. not so much a makeup, but he's being cautious of not calling 2 penalties on 2 close ones. I like it.

kingfc22 · 07-09-2006, 02:16 PM

Italy has gone into a prevent defense.

Celeval · 07-09-2006, 02:20 PM

Barely offsides?

Vinatieri for Prez · 07-09-2006, 02:21 PM

It was offsides on one guy clearly, but for Toni, he was on. The other guy was not in the play, so the goal should have stood. Since I want Italy to lose, I like the call.

Vinatieri for Prez · 07-09-2006, 02:31 PM

For all the plaudits Cannarvano has gotten so far, I thought he's been terrible today. Been beaten a few times.

kingfc22 · 07-09-2006, 02:31 PM

2nd time Toni has handled the ball. How about a card.

Vinatieri for Prez · 07-09-2006, 02:35 PM

Nice shirt pull in the box. That was beyond normal. Frankly, I thought Italy was lucky there with the way they have been calling shirt pulls.

Celeval · 07-09-2006, 02:38 PM

Which fans are the ones singing to "My Daughter Clementine", anyway? :-D

kingfc22 · 07-09-2006, 02:39 PM

Celo you idiot. No way Zidane is calling for a sub in the WC Final.

Vinatieri for Prez · 07-09-2006, 02:41 PM

I'm predicting a France goal right now off the corner.

Damn.

Vinatieri for Prez · 07-09-2006, 02:49 PM

Damn, I gotta run and go play soccer. Extra time sucks. I've been out 4 weeks with a foot injury so I am dying to play again in the beautiful sunshine. Good thing the VCR was invented. Don't have Tivo yet. Go France!

cthomer5000 · 07-09-2006, 02:51 PM

Extra time... why am i not surprised... *grumble*

You know, I know it's not what they're singing, but I was wondering if I was the only one who thought that's what it sounded like.

/tk

kingfc22 · 07-09-2006, 03:05 PM

So close...

terpkristin · 07-09-2006, 03:05 PM

Italy looks REALLY tired and I kind of think I'd have called a foul on the guy who tackled from the side/back without hitting the ball...

/tk

kingfc22 · 07-09-2006, 03:06 PM

I like this sub.

A great scorer coming on against a very tired defense.

terpkristin · 07-09-2006, 03:08 PM

Zidane looks like his shoulder is still really bugging him.

He's not moving it when he runs, it's more or less glued to his side, that sucks.

/tk

kingfc22 · 07-09-2006, 03:09 PM

Great play and great save.

terpkristin · 07-09-2006, 03:10 PM

Is the entire Italian squad in the back 1/4 of the field?
Such a NICE effort by Zidane, bummer it didn't go in.

/tk

Galaxy · 07-09-2006, 03:12 PM

I hate the though that this game could go to PK.

cthomer5000 · 07-09-2006, 03:16 PM

i absolutely hate that this is gonna go to penalty kicks

kingfc22 · 07-09-2006, 03:17 PM

Uh WOW!!!!

cthomer5000 · 07-09-2006, 03:17 PM

wow... ultra cheap-shot from Zidane... WTF?!

Celeval · 07-09-2006, 03:17 PM

What was that by Zidane?!

kingfc22 · 07-09-2006, 03:18 PM

What a stupid move by Zidane

Galaxy · 07-09-2006, 03:18 PM

Red card.....

But was the ref way too late to make that call?

Celeval · 07-09-2006, 03:18 PM

Aw, man. The right call - he should be red'd for that - but why? Why?

cthomer5000 · 07-09-2006, 03:18 PM

There is simply no way they didn't make that call based on a replay, FWIW.

ANd now France faces the prospect of PKs without Zidane and Henry....

cthomer5000 · 07-09-2006, 03:19 PM

i mean... really... what in the fuck?

Galaxy · 07-09-2006, 03:19 PM

Someone get a yellow?

kingfc22 · 07-09-2006, 03:19 PM

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

WTF is he thinking!!!
