Origin "Alive"
Queensland have saved the State of Origin Series (supposedly if they had lost nobody would care anymore), with a win on the back of two tries in the last 10 minutes.

Grosso's shameful act puts Italy into the World Cup Final
In a totally out of character move, Italy's Grosso in the box with 2 minutes of extra time remaining, took a shot on goal, and actually scored. "I couldn't believe it" astonished onlookers said. "After watching the Australia game, I thought he went down because he couldn't shoot. It isn't as if Lucas Neill was in his way that time either." In an unusual twist, the Italians actually took four decent shots in Extra Time, with two hitting the posts, and two scoring the necessary points.

ZinZi looks for final triumph

Taking the unusual strategy of winning in normal time, the French may be a force to be reckoned with, as their win in the previous European World Cup (1998) indicates they should be. This will also be the last hurrah for the prince of French Football, Zinedine Zidane.
