Everyone defending Italy or Portugal I have a couple of words for you “go f##k yourselves you hopeless cheating bast*rds, learn how to play football the way it should be played, not the c. ronaldo diving way. visit http://www.ihateronaldo.com”
And all of you saying Zidane is a pig and sh*t like that, well out of materazzi and Zidane, materazzi is the biggest most f?#ked up cheating rotting bast*rd pig. Should provoking players be allowed in football “NO” well materazzi did just that. What would you do if someone called your sister and mum a prostitute and you a terrorist “head butt them!” probably not but you wouldnt just walk away, you would do something about it. France deserved to win the World Cup Final and Australia deserved to win against italy. One last question if there is a football player lying in the middle of the field and doesnt move and the opponent runs and trips over him, is that a foul “NO!”
well italy did not deserve a penalty or the win and Australia would’ve won 2 – 0. italy hould have been out of the world cup long before the finals. italy vs portugal would not be a football match it would be a match of ballat dancers and divers and foul mouthed f*gs, all the players will be lying on the floor pretending to be hurt. And if you haven’t notice that when i write Zidane or France Or Australia I use a capital letter but when i write materazzi or italy or portugal or c. ronaldo i use little letters coz they they are so rubbish that they dont deserve the effort of pressing shift.

The French coach can best be described as a plastic puppet with s.. for brains. Zidane is a loser pig who can’t take the pressure… Take this: YOU LOST AND DEAL WITH IT, although hard for both of them, try to do it like a man.

e bibá nossa selecção, não vai tardar muito a concretizar todos os nossos sonhos.os portugueses têm orgulho em vocês. Putos que agora sois esperanças, pusei-vos finos, o futuro passa pelas vossas pernas.deixaide-vos de merdas como este ano, se assim for nunca mais teremos equipas de jeito.ja ha muitos anos que desliguei do futebol que só me fazia sofrer.este ano voltei a vibrar e a reviver a alegria do futebol. a próxima vez desligo de vez.como eu há muitos.em espanha os estádios estão cheios não é por gostarem mais de futebol que nós, é por terem mais dinheiro. viva o benfica

now, after justice has been done, france has lost with italy, and zidane show to the world that he is a fair player when he assault the other player.french people are this way, when the refery is not helping, they try to destroy things. well pigs, u have lost.go home.loosing the final is so much painfull.i hope u have bad dreams for a long time.this time zidane doesn t made any miracles. u still want him for president?dont think so.i am portuguese, and we deserve to lost with germany, because we played poorly. But with france??this kind of games are games to score 1 or 2 goals. the game is very tactical at the semifinals, and when a penalty is invented, and next france go all to the defense, is very difficult to win even playing much much better.scolari sould put away pauleta a long time a go and use nuno gomes.in 5 minutes scored a goal, i knew he will.but mits are mits, and next time pauleta, please play better.you know, being the best striker at france isnt very difficult. and why didnt figo played from the beggining against germany.scolari, a yellow card to u.we have great players, but deco this time was very far from his best and ronaldo seemed imature.my pain has gone at some time.and you frenchies, your pain is much vivid.i am enjoying to know that millions of frenchies are suffering right now.next time we play, you are dead.we could lose with everybody, but with you, never again.hope the plain with the team fall in the champs elisés

Just a few words to say! france, doesn’t realy deserve to be in the finnals, doesn’t deserve to win the cup, they have no team, no qualities, they have wining with a huge help of the referees, and that, is not fair for other teams! Italy, beware for those unprofessionals, they might bought the match referee again!

neils reply to suzy sounds spot on, i didnt read all of her rant though as so many of ronaldo and portugals male and female, but mostly female fans babble on about how great they play and no way do they ever cheat, that its hardly worth reading the lunacy, im sure that was the gist of her posting, im not out to offend, but the site has some great feedback and interesting commentary, cheerleeding is not worth you posting(suzy et al) and us reading.

Suzy – I’m not sure I follow your piece. Who’s your favorite team?

Really, such an unbiased, one-sided diatribe is worthless. What’s worse is when a writer uses CAPITAL LETTERS to accentuate points. It’s as if you are trying to convince yourself that the rubbish you are writing is actually true.

Fine, you LOVE Portugal – but that does not mean anything about a) their talent or b) their proclivity for “gamesmanship” and diving. Other than Italy, no team exploited the dive more in World Cup 2006 than your beloved Portuguese. Luis Figo showed flashes of the player he once was, but every time he was dispossessed, he fell and looked to the referee’s assistant for a call – as though it were impossible that he could have been stripped, plain and simple. In the second half against France, a ball bounced near the far touchline, head-high between Abidal and Figo. Abidal used his head. Figo used his boot – and hit Abidal. Not intentional, just high. He was whistled – and then proceeded to complain about the call. Please. He’s been playing too long not to know.

Ask yourself: would Zidane or even classic fakers from Brazil argue such a call? Not a chance.

Later in the half, Figo sends a bender into the box. Both “C-Ro” and another Portugal middie jump to head the ball. Both miss. Ronaldo falls to a heap, having not made contact with another player.

He cannot believe he was not awarded a PK.

Please counsel yourself. Love Portugal as fervently as you do – but be honest and objective enough to realize that, aside from Italy, they are an exploitive team of divers and fakers – which is too bad because it spoils from the quality they shows on the field.

I see you did not mention “Big Phil’s” physical attack on the (albeit hideous) Uruguayan referee after the game.

That shows class, huh?
