Very lucky.............

Italy don't play better, Italy don't view ball after 1st half time.............

LOL France had more goal occasion (Ribery, etc.....) :rolleyes:

Yeah... but they didn't goal. You don't win with "occasions". Italian defence scored out France.

But France play better, and it's a better team, no problem with french defense.......

If they were the better team, then they would win... instead they loose. Live with it.

P.S.

Italy also shot a crossbar... France had "more occasions" to shot out of the goal ;)

Yes it's a ****ing man, Zidane is not a violent person.

Football is a game where you have to goal... not where you have to "dominate" somebody ;) That is another kind of game, eheh...

Yes but Buffon don't stop goal, it's just penalty kick, Italy didn't score. Italy is very lucky, and Italy don't merit victory.

Italy made a true goal with Materazzi... France had a not-existent penalty. Buffon didn't stop penalties... and Trezeguet didn't score on penalty... live with it. "C'est la vie.." ;)

It's an existing penalty, I'm sure. I don't view Italy team on 2nd half time, extra time, etc....Only France played football.

France beat Spain, Brazil, Portugal, with true goal, not with non-existing penalty.......

For Trezeguet It was very difficult to score against his friend (Juventus)

Maybe you have to double-check... I've seen the replay several times from many anglings: Materazzi didn't touch the french player... the penalty didn't exist at all.

I know France beated Spain, Brazil, Portugal etc. but they couldn't beat Italy: sorry :)

just luck........

A World Cup finale can't finish with penalty kicks. Italy don't merit victory, I'm sure. All people says France play better. Penalty it's just Fate

Saudi Arabia can beat Brazil at penalty kicks...........

Italy is not the best team of this World Cup, France & Germany are better, and maybe England.

I didn't view a good Italy team on this World Cup........

"Italy also loose against Brazil in 1994 (on penalties... Roberto Baggio didn't score the penalty)... penalties are football."

P.S.

Italy didn't win against Germany on penalties ;)

The red card towards Zidane was deserving...

BUT

I do not agree that he had to talk/comment it to another referee to make his final choice when he didnt see anything. Thats the only thing I didnt like. Personally, It hurt to see Zinedine Zidane go out like that and I would have said "**** it" and taken out a yellow. My explanation to the FIFA would be that I didnt see anything.

And France was better and dominated Italy. I think also France's coach made a error taking out of the game Thierry Henry and putting in Sylvain Wiltord. Yes, Henry was tired but you need someone like Henry when it comes to penalties. David Tr?z?guet shocked me...

Did Italy deserve the win? Not by a long shot

Was the red card towards Zidane correct? Yes

Is Italy the luckiest team in the world cup? You betcha.

Those are the facts. There is no other way around it.

Italy also loose against France in 1998 on penalties.......and on Euro2000......remember you. But it's very difficult to finish World Cup Finale with penalty kicks..... Italy would have been able to lose & France would have been able to win.

well main referee cant see everything on the field thats why there is side referees. he cant give him yellow, i think any such offence in the field will bring you red card.

he could probably loose his job if he would give yellow.

i agree with frenchy, italy isnt the best team in the wc...but sometimesfolks just get very lucky!

You missed 3 facts:

Could somebody win against Italy? No.

Could France win against Italy? No.

Who is the champion of the world? Italy

:)

In 1998 it wasn't the final match... in 1994 it was the final match ;)

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
