England and the World Cups misery

After their 1966 victory, the World Cup moments for the Three Lions have consistently carried a sense of sorrow. Memories include Rooney's robust tackle on Carvalho in 2006, Lampard's disallowed goal against Germany in 2010, and for the Lionesses, recollections of their defeat against Japan in 2015, Alex Morgan's tea celebration in 2018, and most recently, their 2023 final loss to Spain.

El maestro Andrea Pirlo

Andrea Pirlo, the renowned maestro, showcased his skills and talent while representing Italy, AC Milan, Juventus, Inter Milan, and Brescia, and emerged victorious in major competitions, securing the most prestigious trophies.

Marco Materazzi

Marco Materazzi is a former professional football player from Italy who is perhaps best known for his controversial clash with French football legend Zinedine Zidane during the 2006 FIFA World Cup final.

Materazzi was born on August 19, 1973, in Lecce, Italy, and began his professional football career with his hometown club, Lecce, in 1991. He went on to play for several other Italian clubs, including Perugia and Inter Milan over the course of his career, as well as for the Italian national team.

Materazzi was known for his tough and physical style of play, as well as his ability to score goals from set pieces. He was also known for his controversial behavior on the pitch, including his habit of provoking opponents with verbal taunts.

Despite the controversy surrounding the incident with Zidane, Italy went on to win the World Cup, with Materazzi playing a key role in the team's success. He retired from professional football in 2014, having won numerous domestic and international titles throughout his career, most importantly the Treble with Inter Milan in 2010.
