Gotta love Materazzi. Nesta comes off injured against the Czech, Materazzi comes on, scores a winnng goal. Next game he starts, gets a red card for the dumbest foul of all time, has to sit out the quarterfinal. Then he outshines Cannavaro in both the semi and the final. It was either high or low with him, never anything in-between.

He was a good player, but far from one that you just have to love.
The first world cup you watched is always the most memorable, so for me it is this goal.
That goal is one of my strongest World Cup memories too, Clrnc. Incredible header, and they kept airing it in the WC highlights prior to every single game.
