Extra Time! France completely dominated the second half.
 
  • #33
OT!

But France has controlled the ball in the second half.

Ribery has been busy, and Zidane and Henry have maintained a strong attack on the left side.

Time for Italy to take out the trash.

Close! Ribery almost had it!

Header by Zidane!

Great save by Buffon!
 
  • #37
End of first OT. I hope someone scores in the second OT.

I'd hate to see the ended with penalty shots.
 
  • #38
Same here. I think France deserve to win it in the second extra time, they've played better football.
 
  • #39
That spoiled the entire game. Disgraceful. I can't believe that Zidane could do that! What a stupid thing to do.

Yeah, i agree. Zizou has affected dramatically France chances with his attitude. Now both Zizou (out for good) and Thierry are not plaing this half.

GO FRANCE!

Go Italy!

It's lottery time. France don't have Zidane for the penalty, so that should be an advantage for the Italians.
