Italy Has Won The World Cup !!

Italy beat France to go their way winning the the world cup to prove critics wrong. In spite of all the trouble back home with the match-fixing scandals, they have succesfully fought all odds to claim the winning title.

I must say that although I had hated France with all my might, I ended up rooting for France to win in this match. There were a few bad signs from the start though especially with Thierry Henry getting a lil injured in the first few minutes. However, the first goal of the match from Zidane's penalty kick was just mesmerising. It was top-class and could only be done by such a talented player. Italy then went on scoring their first goal minutes later. The game went on strong with defense on both sides being equally strong.

The game went on with additional 30 minutes and later the penalty shootout whereby Italy defeated France , 5-3. Things started going out of hand with Zidane in the 3o minutes when he was red-carded out of the match for head-butting Marco Materazzi. It was very unsure as to why he did so but I think Marco Materazzi provoked him earlier on. That instant I knew France was already going down. As for Zidane, people usually retire from stuff in glory but it was the total opposite for him. He left the field and wasn't even allowed to collect the runner-up medal with the others. As if it was not already bad, that his side lost.

As for the penalty shootout, I knew France would already lose out as Gianluigi Buffon is definitely a stronger goalkeeper compared to Fabien Barthez. I had never liked Fabien Barthez as France's goalkeeper throughout. He was an item of the past ..

There are two new theory's which have been proven this world cup. The first would be that "the country with the better food will win", proudly proclaimed by the amoeba. The Italians without doubt have better cuisine than the French. The second theory shall be explained through the following conversation between ah-pek fortune teller/astrologist and desperate 4D hobo.

Hobo : I want strike 4D lah !!
Ah Pek : Tomorrow go buy .. sure strike .. now pay me.
Hobo : What makes you think so ??!
Ah Pek : Bcoz Italy win mah .. believe me lar
Hobo : Harr .. why ar ?
Ah Pek : Every Year of the Dog, I predict that only Brazil or Italy will win one !! It is a proven theory .. that's why Italy win lar .. Thats why you must believe me !
Hobo : Ok lar .. make sure ah .. I go buy magnum, kuda and toto 100 all .. sure kena one lor (pays ah pek rm 300 - for silly useless consultation)
Ah Pek : Thank you ah .. you sure win tomolo

Hobo leaves and ah pek laughs his head off ..

My very first attempt to include a dialogue in my post seems ever so lame. For those who don't understand, Chinese fortune tellers / astrologists succesfully predicted that every Year of the Dog which this year is which at the same time occurs every twelve years, only Brazil or Italy have won. Thus, their theory is proven right and more silly people will be seeing them for whatever crap they need. That way anyone can just pretend to be one.

Well, the Italians win will definitely mean a lot. If you are not familiar with the Italian match-fixing scandal, four top Serie A clubs have been accused of choosing referees which favour their teams. The four clubs involved are Juventus, AC Milan, Lazio and Florentina. They now face relegation from the first to the second or even third division of Italian football and may even be stripped of all Serie A titles claimed.

This will be bad news for all the top players for these clubs. There have been calls for amnesty because of the success of the Italian team in the World Cup since nearly 19 out 0f the 23 players in the Italian squad belong to either one of the clubs. However, an amnesty would seriously diminish the image of Italian football. Most sides have called for appropriate punishment to be given for this injustice. With the Italian's win now, things may hopefully change ..
