So it all ends here, don't it? Maybe i'm a little late, but dun really have time these few days. Forza ItAliA! The new world champions! Maybe there are debates or whether they deserve it or not, but come on, they are the champs. Full stop and get on with life!

Of course, this match will be remembered for Zidane's mysterious head butt onto Materazzi, but he must have wind zidane up. There are many different versions, some say he called zidane's sis a prostitute, some say he called zidane a terrorist's son due to his Algerian roots...Well, whether's its true or not, i guess only Materazzi himself knows. But then, zidane has no right to just head butt him. What was he trying to show? A team captain, a role model, the nation's hope, for all the responsibilities he carries, is that what he should do? It's quite sad that such a legendary player had to end it in such an ashamed and tragic way, but i'm sure he will always be remembered for his mesmerising skills and magic.

Credit to Italy for putting up such a strong performance. Henry's pace and form maybe back, but its still not enough to save france, and there's still fabio cannavaro's art of defending to keep every ball away from the Azzurri's goal. Penalties are always the most cruel way to decide a match, especially a final. Its just like buying lottery...and its all to luck.

This fantastic football festival has finally ended. Its back to normal life for me and many other ppl. No more sleepless late-nights. No more lack of sleep. But i found my body adapting when i could juz sleep for 2 hrs a day and survive another night of action. Think i have clocked about 34 matches during this world cup, and its quite a massive achievement, consider that i've no cable tv at home...Never being so crazy before....

Time for the challenges ahead. And looking forward to chma this coming friday!::
