Somewhat ironic, considering your every other post in this thread has been brimming with a hatred for the English that dwarves any nationalistic prejudices I may have!
jesus. you really think football is that important?

Diving is embellishing a fall. Therefore embellishing a real hit in order to draw a penalty is also considered a dive.
We call it 'swallow' which means the bird, not that what you gulp.

That's right, a cockroach or a dirty earthworm, vermin.

Anyway, back in France, Zidane is celebrated as a hero, that's all that counts.
If I were Zidane, I would kick Materpizza in the family jewels.Yeah !:thumb:

Of course he is. That headbutt was the nearest thing to a French military victory for three centuries.

This is brilliant. From The New Republic:
"What was in Zidane's pause... A consideration of centuries of unfairness, years of cheating and back-passes and Cattenacio, of Mussolini and the horrors of Sicily and rats in Naples; of the current, only-in-Italy scandals of entire organisations paying off referees; of how Fiat cars rust before all others; of grown men attending business meetings in leather shoes of the highest quality but no socks? Against this Zinedine might have weighed the power of French wine, the sweep of the Loire, the heroic Resistance and Paris. He was charged, at that instant, with bringing intellect to bear upon brutes: he used his mind against muscle, he had no choice."
