This is amazing, the closest thing imaginable to a proper box score in football. A chart like this should be included in every post-game match analysis. Has FIFA heard about this?

oh skillz don’t you lean? he was tributing his dive to his child just like his goal. Actually just be glad he didn’t do the actor thing and tribute it to his mother – nobody wanted to witness Totti simulate that!

Thats fine, its just funny how he has the same reaction when he dives… Cries like a baby.

slillz, maybe you need some am=nalysis skills….

Totti just had a baby, & dedicated the goal to him; similar to when Bebeto of Brazil scored vs. the USA during the USA94 World Cup.

Bebeto in that case mimicked a cradling motion, to celebreate his then newborn.

Live & learn, skillz!

Italy by far the better, more intelligent team. Had more players involved in goal opportunities.How many goals did France score in total? Too much reliance on Henry/Zidane.Both out of the game when most needed…the better,smarter team won !

I agree, the worst is when Totti sticks his thumb in his mouth like a baby after he scores a goal.

Pretty cool. As many of us italians noted, Totti has been totally useless in this as in most other matches.

So how come Barthez is “bigger” than Buffon? Does that mean his teammates kicked the ball back to him to set another attack in motion, or was he just shot on more? Geez, I hope Barthez retires. If Coupet had been in there, we might have had another champion. Did Barthez even lay a glove on anything/
