France's Zinedine Zidane (10) gets a red card from Argentine referee Horacio Elizondo as Italy's Gennaro Gattuso looks on, during extra time in the final of the soccer World Cup between Italy and France in the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Sunday, July 9, 2006. The colors this World Cup will be remembered for were red and yellow. Zinedine Zidane's ejection during France's penalty-kicks loss to Italy Sunday's final was a record 28th red card of the tournament. The previous mark was 22 at the 1998 tournament in France. Argentine referee Horacio Elizondo also gave four yellow cards during the match. That raised the tournament total to 345 - 27 percent above the previous mark set in Japan and South Korea in 2002. The United States tied for the most red cards in this tournament with two - and the least yellow, with five. Other countries with two reds were Italy, Croatia, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Portugal and Serbia-Montenegro. Portugal led with 24 yellow cards in seven matches, followed by Ghana with 18 in four. The U.S. and South Korea tied for the fewest yellows, with five each in three games. A three-time world player of the year, Zidane became just the fourth player sent off in a World Cup final when he launched his head into the chest of Marco Materazzi in the 110th minute. Argentina's Pedro Monzon and Gustavo Abel Dezotti received red cards in Germany's 1-0 win in 1990 in Italy, and France's Marcel Desailly was ejected after receiving two yellow cards in his country's 3-0 win over Brazil in 1998. With 143 goals in 64 games, the average of 2.23 was just above the record low of 2.21 set in 1990.   (Agencies)

紅色和黃色將成為本屆世界杯賽永遠的記憶。 在上周日進行的決賽中，法國在點球大戰中負于意大利，齊達丹·齊達內被紅牌罰下，這是本屆杯賽上的第28張紅牌，由此創下世界杯的紅牌記錄。此前的紅牌記錄保持者是1998年法國世界杯，產生紅牌22張。 在這場比賽中，阿根廷籍裁判霍拉西奧·艾利桑多還出示了四張黃牌，這使本屆世界杯賽的黃牌總數達到345張，比2002年韓日世界杯賽黃牌記錄多了27％。 本屆世界杯上，美國隊被出示了最多的紅牌和最少的黃牌，分別為兩張和五張。被出示兩張紅牌的球隊還包括意大利、克羅地亞、捷克、荷蘭、葡萄牙和塞黑。 葡萄牙隊居于“黃牌榜”首位，七場比賽共吃黃牌24張，其次為加納，四場比賽共吃18張黃牌。美國隊和韓國隊被出示的黃牌數最少，三場比賽共5張黃牌。 在本屆世界杯決賽進行到第110分鐘時，齊達內頭撞馬特拉齊的胸口，這位三屆“世界足球先生”由此成為世界杯歷史上第四位在決賽中被罰下場的球員。 1990年意大利世界杯決賽，德國1比0戰勝阿根廷，阿根廷隊的佩德羅·蒙松和古斯特沃·亞伯·迪索迪在這場比賽中被紅牌罰下；1998年法國世界杯決賽，法國3比0擊敗巴西，法國隊的馬塞爾·德塞利被出示了兩張黃牌后被罰下場。 本屆世界杯64場比賽共進球143個，平均每場比賽進球2.23個，僅僅略高于1990年2.21個的歷史最低紀錄。 (英語點津姍姍編輯)
