I have no problem with Italy winning. They've really grown into the tournament as a very solid, rockhard team.
Materazzi: when he keeps his head clear, one of the best defenders in the world, period. His effort is beyond measure. Hard for the opponent but also hard on himself.
Gattuso: the eternal workhorse
Grosso: the back that comes forward, sweetness.
Pirlo: brings creativity to the team
Zambrotta: energetic player that defends strongly and can make a good run too
Cannavaro: exceptional defender
Buffon: great keeper
and the list goes on. Italy played very well tonight. France's penalty, well, I wasn't convinced it was one. Deserved win for Italy imo, france played very well too.
The thing that caused me pain was Zidane's exit.
