<i>Les Bleus</i> and the Azzurri engaged in two of the most memorable big games of all time this decade. In the Euro 2000 final, Italy was seconds away from winning 1-0 when Sylvain Wiltord's last-ditch goal sent the game into extra time. David Trezeguet's golden goal gave France a 2-1 win and made <i>les Bleus</i> the first team to hold the World Cup and European Championship trophies at the same time since West Germany in 1974. The tables turned, though, in the 2006 World Cup final, when Italy came from behind to tie the game, then profited from Zinedine Zidane's legendary ejection (below) to prevail on penalties.
