Why did ZZ blow his top?

That (and the fact that it was decided on penalties) has did put a dampener on what should have been great climax. A sorry end to a wonderful career.

It did not seem to be done in the 'heat of the moment'. It looked as if he had a lot of time to think about it - and think better of it - but he didn't. I would have liked to have remembered him by the penalty he scored and style in which he took it.

Well done Italy. ...and this time I didn't have them in the sweep.
