Emozione Italia Emozione Juve

Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | A black and white emotion: "This 'Juve contro Juve' didn't start in the final; there was that brotherly but severe handshake between Cannavaro and Juve's forward midfield magician, Pavel Nedved, at the start of the Italy versus Czech Republic game. Have any two captains ever done that in a World Cup?

But there were almost too many Juventus moments in Sunday's final: the comradely pat on the arm and smile from Buffon to Zidane, even though the latter had just beaten the world's most impenetrable goalkeeper from the penalty spot; the penalty 'sbaglio' - error - that won Italy the cup was by David Trezeguet, facing his team mate Buffon, inverting memories of the night that the Juventino Frenchman scored a golden goal which defeated a Juventus-strewn Italy in the 2000 European Championship final."
