Following this fairly average World Cup, new FIFA rankings have been released, with the USA now in a more accurate 16th, although rather bizzarely, they've overtaken Mexico.
Never mind, they'll reclaim their rightful place in the top 5 in no time at all, no doubt hammering Belize 5-0 and putting three past Bermuda along the way.
1 Brazil
2 Italy
3 Argentina
4 France
5 England
6 Netherlands
7 Spain
8 Portugal
9 Germany
10 Czech Republic
11 Nigeria
12 Cameroon
13 Switzerland
14 Uruguay
15 Ukraine
16 USA
17 Denmark
18 Mexico
19 Paraguay
20 Côte d'Ivoire
Australia are 33rd, for those of you who care, behind footballing powerhouses like Colombia and Guinea.
Ah, insanity still prevails.
Don´t know why England deserves to be in the top 5

I feel like Materazzi couldn't have said anything terribly offensive or racist otherwise Zidane would have argued his position and tried to get Materazzi back in trouble.
Zidane said he told him to stop pulling his shirt, and that if he [Materazzi] really wanted it, he'd be happy to trade at the end of the game. After that, Materazzi said something involving Zidane's mother and/or sister, but Zidane didn't say the details of what was said exactly. He added that he had to listen to it once, twice, and that at the third time, he got sick of it, because he could only take so much verbal abuse. That's when he hit him.
About the headbutt, Zidane said he wanted to apologize to kids and mothers, and that it was unexcusable/unforgivable, and that it should be sanctioned. However, he added that what he did was a response to a provocation, and that the one who provoked it should be sanctioned aswell.
And then there is Death

Hummm...i still think that it´s unfair...but ok
Yeah, just read some news. I can't believe Zidane got pissed off a your mom joke. I guarantee my mom has been through worse <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"> than his and I don't get pissed.
edit: w00t Klinsmann quit! Coach us now please!

Isn't Zidane's mom very ill? That might have set him off.
Slowly but surely, things are falling into place. Still a terribly stupid move, but it looks less like Zidane just went nuts on his own.
Also, I second Klinsmann for coach of the US.
Take care all.
By sanctioned, I mean punished. And yes, he did say he deserves to be punished for it.Originally Posted by Loony BoB

But anyway, it wasnt only Klinsmann doing the work. He was unusual in the amount of work he let his colleagues do (which is actually rightfully their work, but a lot of coaches take unecessary actions into their own hands while others are just bystanders). For example Joachim Löw, the assistant coach, had a VERY big role in the German team, as did other people.
With this in mind, im confident the German team will continue and improve their new sporting philosophy, seeing as most of the people who worked with the in this world cup will be in 2010 (which, btw, might NOT afterall be held in South Africa due to technology problems. It MIGHT be assigned to another country).
