Well, He did something to that nature in 1998 World Cup against a Saudia Arabian player as well...so, for those who LIKE to think this is the first time he did it, get the facts......he's done it before, and did it again ! France was playing really good....attacking all day long, esp in the 2nd half...but, gotta give credit to Italian Defense.....and Buffon, the Keeper......France was the aggressor offensively...Italy had very little offiense....and had their chances...Its just disgrace that teh Game has to end in Penalty Kicks.......But oh well.....the game gotta end one way or the other.....COngrats to the Italians......French should be proud for getting there...knocking off Brazilians.......No shame here........Fact of the matter is, only one team could Win, and it was Italy's turn....24 years......It better be !
