It is rare as it was not broadcast on many TV Stations. It is a must watched.

Germany is in the 3rd place after beating Portugal 3-1.

It is the 4th time they have won the title with only Brazil leading with 5 times.

After watching the match, I can’t help but think that the match is fixed, I have no idea why did they substitute Thierry Henry at the 107th minute. And worst of all, I don’t even know why Zidane went to headbutt Materazzi Marco at the 110th minute.

I think the whole world will be discussing why Zidane did that. LOL
