Italy the 2206 World Cup Winners
Italy VS. France in the World Cup
Italy vs 
France 
1-1 
Penalties 
Italy5-3France
At the beginning of the game France had the lead 1-0 but Italy came back in the 2nd half. Unfortunately France lost 1 of their best player Zidane. After that they stayed in a tie 1-1. So they had to go to penalties. Italy made 5 penalties in. France made only 3. My opinion I thought France deserved to win. But Italy were the champs for 2006 World Cup.

Women in Soccer
This might be a very wild thing, but they like to play as much as men do. Soccer is a wide national sport. Like mens soccer teams, women also have teams around the world. The Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL) is a national amateur women's soccer league in the United States. The WPSL started as the Western Division of the USISL's W-League, breaking away in 1998. The league is sanctioned by the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA) as an affiliate of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF). Women have many groups just like men. They also have world wide wins like:
Brazil
Brazil is the best team right now in the soccer industry. They have won many world cups.The Brazil national soccer team is managed by the CBF and represents Brazil in international football competitions. They are the most successful national football team in the history of the World Cup, with five championships (1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, 2002). A common quip about football is: "The English invented it, the Brazilians perfected it." [2] Currently ranked number two by FIFA, Brazil is consistently among the strongest football nations in the world and is the only team to have played in every World Cup. Brazil infact is also my favorite team. I think its the best team ever.
