If my team won the WC like that I would be more ashamed than happy.

I disagree, Cannavaro looked left towards Henry, then used the shoulder and fist under the chin of a fast forward running Henry. Because of the speed of Henry, the already hard fist hit under the chin becomes a lot more serious. Anyone with medical knowledge would immediately want Cannavaro to be punished severely for such an action. Plus you're responsible for where you have your body parts in all other duels - elbows etc give cards even if it was "a mistake", which it clearly wasn't in this case. What strikes me as most cold-hearted, evil and unsportsmanlike is the fact that Cannavaro and the entire Italian team (with the almost murder attempt of Viera a few minutes later) know that the ref won't give any red cards during the first few minutes of a WC final, because it would kill the game. Instead, the Italian team can knock two players, Henry in the head so he plays below his normal level for the entire game, and Viera in the leg so by the 80th minute he feels the injury and must be substituted.
