Worldcup 2006 - What a great tournament!

Though Zidane's outburst will tarnish his career forever, and even as Italy's win will not wash away their Serie A alligations, the Worldcup 2006 tournament was a great one with some surprises from Ghana and Trinidad and great quarter and semi-final play.

Of course, with all the great play from the teams we must discuss the referees and the obsene need for yellow and red cards. It seems that if you farted on the field that you could get kicked off.
There's no doubt that regardless of who saw what, the headbutting that Zidane did and the foot stomping that Wayne Rooney did was red card material. But....please. Have you heard the saying, "give blood, play soccer?" Of course you have. So let them play the game.

My favorite game was Portugal vs. England, but I missed all the coverage of C. Ronaldo's "wink" when he got Wayne Rooney to commit that red car foul. Ronaldo was great...loved the little kiss he gave the ball before he won the game with that last PK. He played good throughout the tournament too.
