What is the FIFA World Cup?

The FIFA World cup is an international football competition that is held every 4 years in different countries all around the world.

It’s a competition for the Men national teams in countries all around the world.

Where and When was the FIFA World cup 2006 held?

The FIFA World cup 2006 was held in Germany.

It started on the 9th of June 2006 and ended a month later, 9th of July 2006

Who were the Finalists and who won?

Italy and France were the finalists, But Italy won leaving France as the runners up.

The score was tied in the group match so they had penalties and Italy won 5:3

What was the scoring sequence and who scored?

It was penalty kicks and Fabio Grosso scored the winning penalty after David Trazeguet missed.

Describe the play leading to the goal for only one of the goals.

The Goal that was scored during the group match by Italy was scored by Materazzi as a header picked up from Zizou’s penalty kick.

What could defense have done better to stop the goal from

happening? After watching the goal, I Think defense did a

good job as each Italian player was blocked but I think it was a goal because the penalty kick was high and Materazzi jumped to Header it at the perfect timing. I think it was fate.

Using the same scoring sequence, what individual skills have been used by the

attacking team?

Zizous’s penalty kick was a really good high kick that helped score the goal because if it wasn’t a good one, Materazzi wouldn’t have been able to score the goal with a header. – Italy’s Goal

Zidane scored the goal for France as a penalty kick and his goal was a curved goal that went around the goalie, which I thought was really hard to do.

Was there any movement ‘off the ball’ by other attackers to draw defenders

away from the goal scorer?

There was movement between the defenders and the Italian players, because the defenders were trying to block every player and so the Italian players moved in a way that there was like a path from the scorer and the player that took the penalty kick.
