Trev was looking grimly confident, when PKs arrived. He had complete faith in Gianluigi Buffon to repel the Frogs' sallies. ::chuckle:: I swear, that keeper has soccerball magnets for gloves. The save of the Cup came late in the game when Zizou hit a sharp header that by all rights should have met net. Instead, it found Buffon's hand, causing it to sail juuuust above the crossbar.
And I could hear the groans from the Champs Elysees all the way in North Beach, SF. ;-)
(Perhaps Zidane was so frustrated by the miss he allowed Materazzi to goad him into the headbutt... though on the NYTimes game blog, the writer says that prior to the incident, Materazzi reached around and pinched Zidane's nipple !!!!! O_o You'd butt someone in the ass too, if they pinched your nipple. ;p )
