^Which, if the player wasnt, would be a complete waste of a person in a scoring position lol.

Just dont be offsides. Pro Evo football really made it clear. I have been learned.

offsides is when a player from the attacking team is ahead of the line of the farthest defense minus the goalie at the time that the bell is kicked to him. If such happens then the player is in an offsides position. If the player has another defense ahead of the direction where he is to score apart from the goalie before the ball is kicked to him then the player is not in an offside position even if he is able to outrun the defense and get ahead of them after the ball has deprated the othe rplayer.


Close but its the last two players of the opposition in general, just happens that 99.9% of the time its the goalkeeper, so your statement would still work.

eh, still don't understand look at http://www.localdial.com/users/mermaid/offside.htm, it has diagrams!

Italy has won the world cup with a score of 1-1,5-3. Yay Italians and yay that Zidane was kicked out! Freaking ass to do what he did.

he was walking away from an Italian player only to turn back and go towards him and do an extreme head butt to the chest and knock him down.

extreme? look at the replays, it isnt as 'vicious' as they were making it up to be. the player to go down did some GREAT acting after zidane struck him.

Dude it was definately a strong head butt. He put quite a bit of his power in it to knock him down. I dont have a clue what possessed him to do it, especially in his last international game, AND in a world cup final.... It really will hang a shadow over his great career. Not a nice way to end [:(]

But yay for Italy, i wanted them to beat France. [:)]

any harder n he could have done really badd damage... atleast it wasnt to the heart, becuz he could have gotten killed or hurt really badd, and im not exagerating either, but he was stupid a world cup game and you choose to do that he should of handled it after the game, if it was that bad rite?

He completly knocked the guy OFF his feet and fell STRAIGHT onto his back. Thats not extreme? Holy crap, I must know what extreme is then.

Well, too bad he shouldnt have gotten the card. Turns out no ref saw it as it happened and in FIFA rules, you cannot use a monitor to review a play.

The ref that made that call and relayed it did not see it live so techincally France was completely cheated.


Not to mention Zidane was completely tempted...titty twisters hurt. However, Zidanes action was completely uncalled for. Yet, shouldnt have been a card. No one saw it.

ive seen video of that real. but i mean, lets say you are 6'4, 200 some odd pounds, do you REALLY think a headbutt to your ribs is going to knock you dead on your ass? i think not, unless it is true that italians get blown over if wind blows at them.


you still arent realizing the fact that a) materazzi is a dirty cheating bastard, who deserves it, and b) he titty twisted him! look at the beginning of that and all the other videos, he twisted his left tit! when ya do that to anyone, you deserve a head to the ribs.

No one deserves that, get over it.

And yes, you could die. I have seen crazier things happen. Especially when you put blunt trama to the chest, you are playing quite dangerous there. Odds are nothing will happen, but what if it does? What if it causes his heart to stop for only a moment and it doesnt come back? Any number of medical things could happen with such a blow.


Lets not forget that Zidane has been thrown out of NUMEROUS games for his antics. Hes missed several games over the past 5 years due to his outlandish behaviour when he should have just responded by kicking their butts on the field. Instead, he takes it personally and fouls/hurts someone.


Its a game.

Dude, I dont even play football and I understand thats PART of the game. Some people play rough. Sometimes they get penalties, other times not. It happens even every sport. I hardly think that means he deserves a possibly life threatening action towards him.

Have some sense about it. And dont bring up his past offenses. This was a different game, different time. Zidane can be just as nasty. It doesnt matter what hes done in previous games. Those were over. I dont think a titty twister (something we all do to one another at some time our life) deserves a full out thrusting head butt. Think about it.


If you get someone a titty twister then you deserve the same treatment - reguardless of your past history with that person or any other for that matter. Because if thats the case, where all your past offenses can be held against you in one moment of pain, Im pretty sure all peoples on Earth have committed enough wrong to warrant death or near death.
