What a terrible way to end a great career.Barthes proves again that putting him in net was maybe not the best move ever.Italy was spectacular. Even when they were unable to get any offence going, or even control the midfield, they gave up almost no good chances on net. Buffon only had to make one tough save, that header by Zidane.Well, that and the penalty kicks he missed. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />But Cannavaro runs a MEAN defence. Never panicking, never NOT knowing what's going on. Very impressive.Did anyone else notice that the Italian offence died the moment they took Totti off the field? I think that was a mistake. He wasn't very visible, but I think he was key in the first half of the game, just being solid and keeping the play forward.</blockquote>
