xvillexvalox Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 World Cup official shot himself Berlin's top World Cup official shot himself in the head just hours after the tournament ended and is now fighting for his life, police say I'm pretty sure the guy doesn't want to live anymore once he attempted suicide, wrote 2 suicide notes, only to be in more pain by being hospitalized and then "possibly" living with one messed up face.

zeekyhbomb Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Heh, I don't know if this has been posted, but lip readers have said what may have been said to cause Zidane to react how he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ianbur Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Seems pretty harsh to take it away from Zidane after he's won it and everything. But oh well, Cannavaro was the best player in the WC in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(44 in this case considering it was in the world cup in Japan and at the time Japan were considered better than Turkey) Remember Turkey weren't that great before that world cup.

apinagez Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Football is unrankable. As I've said before, it's not like tennis or basketball, there are too many variables involved, it isn't all about how good the players are, as we've seen in this Cup.

Phil Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Football is unrakable. As I've said before, it's not like tennis or basketball, there are too many variables involved, it isn't all about how good the players are, as we've seen in this Cup. Well it's funny one of the reasons we play football competitively is to be ranked on how good we are, whether it's the world cup, the league system or any other cup. I agree though that it is almost impossible to rank correctly, it'll never be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
