what a shame

so the World Cup is over and all of Italy has tremendous cause to celebrate. i was actually pulling for France in the final, that is, until Zidane head-butted Materazzi in the chest; what a dirty play. now, i'm sure Materazzi wasn't completely innocent here, i imagine he said some incindiary words for Zidane, but give me a break. its such a shame he chose to go out on this sort of note, the end to his ilustrious career being an incredibly unsportsman-like assault on another player.

how am i going to fill my time now? life is going to be so boring now that the World Cup is over...
