Good on you mate.....nothing like a supportive bet to as Homer Simpson agreed, "make a good thing even better". I put 50 bucks against France actually, in their match with Brazil, in the attempt to try and make some cash by betting with the odds. Bad idea obviously
Anyway...good game, man....I wouldn't wanna meet Zidane in a dark alley, which is where I would most likely find him if I went to France, after that.
I wanna find out what it was....sledging taken to a whole new level? I speculated that it would have had to been something about his wife and children of which he has 4....either that or something slanderous to his religion...or as was said, a racist remark, though I figure racist remarks would be typical of sledging and therefore not enough to sway Zidane.
Anyway, insane. Personally being still aggrieved I would tend to say I think France DESERVED to win...they played well I thought even with 10 men and without play makers such as Vierra,Henry, Zidane and the talented Ribery. So I don't think they were all about Zidane though the match certainly was.
But there you go....Italy beat Australia my homeland favourite, Germany my half-blood roots, and now France who impressed me in their wins over Spain, Brazil and subsequent games, especially after the French media were on them about not playing well enough.
The replay will definately be worth a watch for those who had lives and thus didn't catch the early one
