And He Smokes A Phattie...

I don't need more proof of character than Italy's coach Marcello Lippi lighting up a cigar and shedding a tear. The Italian team - except for a few players - has been great (talent + character) all through the tournament. They have played very well, been humble and finally celebrated the win like true champions. The Italians penalty shoot out was the most professional in this tournament. They simple nailed it as they should.

Zidane's unforgetable and unforgivable assault resulted in a great let down of his team, a loss in the shoot out and the sad end of a great career. Just shows that talent is not always accompanied with great character. ¡Viva Italia!
