Fun Zidane Game


Try this fun game. Go to:

Then look for this link (part way down the page):

Il gioco: fai anche tu come Zizou, abbatti Materazzi con una testata

(Il gioco is written in red so should be easy to find).
You can headbut just like Zidane!!!

What it's like to live in a world cup winning country

This is the real reason I moved countries. I was sick of seeing England always performing poorly (I think this is also the reason Chris is moving to Spain). Enjoy the photos.

The two sides of football





Captain's (cappuccino) log - stardate 10 July 06.

What a game!!! or should I say NOT a game?! Pretty rubbish final. But Italy won and the party in this country has begun.
For all those back in blighty I now know what it is like to be in a world cup winning country.
There was an absolutely fantastic atmosphere in the large piazza in Turin after the game. It felt good to win, but I am sorry for the state of the game. Zidane was a disgrace and will always be remembered for this action, his last ever game of professional football. For sure his head must be empty to do something like that, so at least he didn't hurt his brain.
Forza Italia.
Nice to see Buffon and Bartez embracing. At the end of the day it's only a game (try telling that to the Italians!).
When I process the photos I took of me after the game I will put them here.
Ciao.
