THE TRUTHS OF SOME WORLD CUPS.

1 The two Argentinan footballers Juan Simone and Dezzoti were the first footballers to get red cards in the final of the world cup held in Italyin the year 1990.When Argentina lost to Germany in the final .
2In the 1966 world cup held in England .In that years quater final between Argentina and England ,the Argentinan captain Antonio Rattin got a second yellow card for foul languge at the refree.Which was followed by a red card. Antonio Rattin refused to leave the pitch, saying that the German refree did not understand a word of Spanish. But when he left the field he pulled and crumbled the Union Jack ,which were plced on the four ends of the field. The show did not end there he also sat on the red carpet ment for the queen to walk on. And finally while passing the queen he raised his finger upwards at her.All this happened because all Antonio Rattin said in Spanish was I want an interperter for me. More drama followed as England took fulluse of the one man advantageand won the match. The English coach Ralf Ramsey came on to the pitch and ordered his players not to exchange jerseys with the Argentinans were just animals.
3 The German footballer Franz Beckenbaur is the only person to win the world cup in 1974 as the German captain and as the manager inthe 1990 world cup in Italy.
4 In the 1994 final match between Brazil and Italy, Robetto Baggio missed the final penalty,so giving Brazil the cup . But in the 1998 world cup held in france, Baggio cooly kicked thethe first penalty Italy had vs Belgium.It clearly showed his calibre and class of a footballer Robetto Baggio has always had.
4 In the 2006 World cup held in Germany,the final between France and Italy was spoilt by one incident which is reffered to Zinedine Zidanes head butting of Marco Matressi in which both players got red cards. Even though a mager fault was Marco Matressis for provoking Zidane.It sadly brought avery bright and brilliant carrer of a genius to a sad end.Even as that was Zidanes last match he had alrady announced his retirement.
