There's only a billion people watching

Zidane you idiot!

On the verge of ending a legendary career and with France in the ascendancy... Well you know what happened next.

Such a shame, the French generally outplayed the drama-queens for most of the second half, and if their two best players hadn't have been taken off the field (through substitution and sending-off respectively), could well have gone on to clinch it.

But never mind, it's been fun watching as a neutral.

However Italy can't bask in the glory for too long; with their top league clubs found guilty of match fixing and facing severe punishment, as well as Berlusconi being indicted to face trial fraud charges...

It's a hollow victory.

Indeed. In quite a spectacular way. It's certainly one time & place on the planet you can't be ignored.
