The blue guy with the big nose has to be Gary Neville.

The old guy is Sven.

Steve McClaren is the ginger haired guy on the left of the picture. Either that or Paul Scholes has come out of retirement.

The one at the back would have to be Theo Walcott because I don't know who he is and I don't know if I ever will.

It is over. Italy have won. Thank goodness - couldn't have standed the French winning it again. The final was crap. The 3/4 place playoff was better. I'm preparing myself for another month of pain in 4 years time because Steve ''I'm shit and nearly got sacked at Boro'' McClaren is now officialy in charge. The Italian coach, Lippi, has won 15+ domestic honours - McClaren hasn't even won a raffle.

What a headbutt from Zidane - Why did he do it? I want to know!!! I fear I will never know which will annoy me for all of 12 seconds............

i think over the course of the tournament they deserved. don't know what the hell zidane was thinking though; a great career ends in shambles.

The rumour is that something was said about his mother. And that final was crap.

I believe it is 99% certain that he offended Zidane's mother and he called him the son of an Algerian terrorist.

Whatever he said to Zidane, it still doesn't mean he should head butt him.

The first half of the final was good and the second half showed that the French could still play. It was all down to the superior defending skills of Buffon and Canavaro in the end though. Plus some excellently taken penalties...England, buy the dvd of the final and just watch the shoot-out!

I've seen the two options so far for translation on what was said to Zidane:

a) "you're the son of a terrorist whore"

b) "no", "calm down", "liar", "an ugly death to you and your family" (on the day the Frenchman's mother had been taken to hospital ill), "go fuck yourself".

Both kindly lifted from the BBC website without permission and edited. To be honest, I'm not sure which one would be worse, although it could yet turn out to be something entirely unrelated.
