World Cup final reaches climax

By Tarryn Le Chat

The world’s most watched sporting event, reaches its climax today, as heavyweights France and Italy enter the final knock-out round to be crowned champion of world soccer in Berlin, Germany. Italy’s record proves them to have a slight edge over France. Marcello Lippi’s side have scored eleven goals and conceded one-that was an own goal. Whilst Raymond Domenech’s France has scored eight times and let in only two goals. France started off sluggish, but since the quarter-final upon beating champions Brazil, have improved dramatically. Zinedine Zidane also retires after this game, which leaves France hoping he has a huge impact in the game and delivers one of his best performances ever. Both teams are playing for National pride and the honour of winning the prestigious Soccer World Cup.
