You mean taht half-volley that went flying in the top corner? yeah seen it, good goal. But what I mean is that he hasnt been great consistently in a WC/CL. I mean a player that in each match really makes the difference, creates goals, etc etc. Someone who's important to the team in pretty much every match.
Zidane has too often been completely invisible during long periods of matches...
As I said, I dont know how he was in the spanish/italian league, so I'm only judging him on those matches that I've seen him.
Tonight: Glad France is through, although the penalty was ... it was a trip, but it was a harsh decision nontheless...
Sad how Henry is behaving in this WC. He went down very easily to get the penalty, while it was a light trip and he could just as easily went on and just scored the goal.
I know it's 'proffesional', and all that... but still...
the portuguese player who dived in the 2nd half, instead of just simply taking the ball and shooting it on goal was a disgrace as well. He could have easily received it, yet he pretended he was pushed/pulled or whatever and went down.... what a worthless fucker. Should never be allowed near a pitch again.
