If Zidane's career indeed ended with this final, then he got exactly what he deserved. His head-butt had to have been one of the ugliest scenes in this tournament, and he managed to sabotage his team's chances of winning a second World Cup. An utterly disgraceful end for a talented and accomplished player.
It's a shame that an otherwise solid, if unspectacular match, came down to penalty kicks. But Italy is certainly a worthy champion; just enough offense throughout the Cup, and a defense that was far superior to any other team's. They now join the very top tier of world football powers, just one title below Brazil.

And you were right about the predicament of Italy being the champions this Worldcup! :)
Unfortunatly, Zidane spoilt it for the French. What a not nice way to end his career! But I really do want to know what exactly the guy he gave a head butt said to him!
