7/10 I am delighted Zinedine Zidane has miraculously won the
BALL OF GOLD for the 2006 WC. ObIamNotMakingThisUp.
[I think they do the gold ball tally before the match is over, so
may have been decided before The Incident. Not sure why, since I
didnt think they announced it immediately and there doesnt seem
any reason not to wait 1-2 hrs. But I am still glad they didnt
change the decision.] BTW, the ZZ header after the pass from Sagnol
then blocked by Buffon was pretty awesome. --psb
\_ You are wrong about the timing of the close of the vote tallying.
Please leave the sports discussions to the experts.
Thank you. --richard
\_ I liked it. You are stupid. Keira Knightley is still flat.
\_ I just read that the voting closed at midnight last night instead
of at halftime, like they used to. ZZ's header was good, but the
save was even better. My favorite goal was the German double-header.
\- the block was fast and ultimately what mattered but i think
the header was more impressive eventhough ultimately moot becase
you might say it involved more "spatial degrees of freedom".

successful] ZZ 3 deg of freedom header goals:

For those of you who dont follow futbol, this GK save by
an associate of PABLO ESCOBAR is also pretty amazing:

(but also a "what the fuck are you thinking" move ... it was
in a friendly game tho ... he probably only attempted it because
he know Escobar would not have him killed)
