The Final was between Italy and France, Italy have done well in their groups, France just managed to escape a 2002 repeat, this was at the Olympic Stadium. The match kicked of and the score was 1-1 with Zidane scoring a penalty and Materazzi scoring the next, then extra time came and Zidane headbutts Materazzi and gets a red, dosen't matter really since Zidane retired, then had to work 3 days at FIFA, unlucky Zidane.
Back to the game and it came down to Penalties, Italy lost 3 penalty shootouts and France have won 2 and lost 1, the score was 5-3 to Italy. so now Italy have won 1 penalty shootouts and France have lost 2 penalty shootouts.

FIFA World Cup 2006 is also a game where you can play as a national team and take them to glory, even some teams that don't get very far like Russia or USA and feel to actually winning the real World Cup for your country.
You can also play previous World Cups like England vs Germany or France vs Brazil. View the Stadiums, listen to the songs in the game and lots more.

"What you doing when you get back?"
"Watch the game between England vs Sweden on TV."
"Then what you going to do?"
"Play on FIFA World Cup 2006 on PS2."
"Cool!"

Power Couple

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.

I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
