The 2006 FIFA World Cup™ , hosted by Germany, culminated in a dramatic finish with Italy defeating France on penalties in Berlin to make it Italy’s fourth world crown. If Zinedine Zidane’s red card was the Final’s defining image, Italy’s triumph would be remembered as a team effort with ten different “Azzurri” players finding the net. It was also a special month for Germany, the goals of Miroslav Klose helping secure third place in a tournament memorable for the festival mood across the host country.
