First, Italy shed off its tag as the World Cup's penalty clown by beating France in a shootout, 5-3.

Another surprise was when Zinedine Zidane was awarded the Golden Ball (MVP) award of the tournament despite one of the most ungraceful exits that I have seen in the sports world. I don't hate Zidane, in fact, I like him so much, but it was very disappointing to see him headbutt the chest of Italy's Marco Materazzi that led to his unceremonious exit from the game with a red card.
