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 wasejectedafter receiving two yellow cards in his country's 3-0win overBrazil 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.

红色和黄色将成为本届世界杯赛永远的记忆。
在上周日进行的决赛中，法国在点球大战中负于意大利，齐达丹·齐达内被红牌罚下，这是本届杯赛上的第28张红牌，由此创下世界杯的红牌记录。此前的红牌记录保持者是1998年法国世界杯，产生红牌22张。
在这场比赛中，阿根廷籍裁判霍拉西奥·艾利桑多还出示了四张黄牌，这使本届世界杯赛的黄牌总数达到345张，比2002年韩日世界杯赛黄牌记录多了27％。
本届世界杯上，美国队被出示了最多的红牌和最少的黄牌，分别为两张和五张。被出示两张红牌的球队还包括意大利、克罗地亚、捷克、荷兰、葡萄牙和塞黑。
葡萄牙队居于“黄牌榜”首位，七场比赛共吃黄牌24张，其次为加纳，四场比赛共吃18张黄牌。美国队和韩国队被出示的黄牌数最少，三场比赛共5张黄牌。
在本届世界杯决赛进行到第110分钟时，齐达内头撞马特拉齐的胸口，这位三届“世界足球先生”由此成为世界杯历史上第四位在决赛中被罚下场的球员。
1990年意大利世界杯决赛，德国1比0战胜阿根廷，阿根廷队的佩德罗·蒙松和古斯特沃·亚伯·迪索迪在这场比赛中被红牌罚下；1998年法国世界杯决赛，法国3比0击败巴西，法国队的马塞尔·德塞利被出示了两张黄牌后被罚下场。
本届世界杯64场比赛共进球143个，平均每场比赛进球2.23个，仅仅略高于1990年2.21个的历史最低纪录。
