Can you believe what Zidane did?

His last international match, the world cup final, fifteen minutes from penalties and he head butted someone - a moment of pure madness.

Well I have won 30 quid anyway so I'm not bothered hehehehe.

I never seen anyone headbutt someone in the chest.. seems odd.... but if ya gonna do it.. then why not when a BILLION people are watching..... duh... silly zidane

Stress does some wierd things to the mind. Never mind that France lost ZZ will be remembered for his butt.

His moment of madness probably stopped the better team from winning.

I don't care. My best friend, whom I'm seeing in a few weeks, rang me from the streets of Milan and it sounded like the biggest celebration in the world, which after all the scandal concerning Italian football I think they deserve.

:engsmil: notice the offence was not spotted by the referee or the 2 assistants,it was brought to the referee,s attention by the 4th official, this is typical of the standard of refereeing in this world cup, graham poll gives 3 yellow cards to the same player and gets no help of the 4th official and has retired from int football and was sent home from the tournament, zz got what he deserved, and what was the manager thinking off by taking off 2 of his best penalty takers (henry and vierra) france got what they deserved

I think this World Cup will be remembered as the one with the maddest managerial decisions, sadly including our own unlamented Sven's.

as winner of world player of the year 3 times,and pushing 35 years old its a great example to set young rooney eh.

the dummy will think think thats what top stars do.lol

chav1 · 10-07-2006, 01:01

who gives a crap

as long as the frogs didnt win i dont care who did what lol

shillelagh · 10-07-2006, 01:12

I had France in the family sweepstake - thats £16 gone!

I wanted France to win mainly because of the sweepstake but also because it was zizou's last game and thought he should go out on a high because he's been a good player. After tonight though i changed my mind. That's all he's going to be famous for now is getting sent off in a world cup final.

I thought it was dead funny, Zidane head butting someone in the chest!! I wonder what the I.T. called him to get him soo mad, whatever it was it worked. No, he won,t just be remembered for the head butt, he was a great player, but if your going out you might as well do it in style. My last comment on the W.C. I was glad to see Hargreaves get to show that he belongs in the England team, the best player by far.

You think head butting someone shows style?

I wonder what the punishment would have been for a fan head butting another fan in front of all those cameras.

WillowTheWhisp · 10-07-2006, 15:37

I wonder if we'll ever find out what the other player said. Whatever it was there's no excuse for that kind of behaviour.

he should be charged with assault for that because thats what it was and if it was any of the fans doing that you can gaurantee that they would have been.....

lee bowyer, was it not ? has just been charged over that offence at newcastle last season and it was nowhere near as bad as what that pillock did last night...great footballer or not you just cannot do what he did

The craziest thing is though he's been given the award for player of the tournement.Aparently the votes were counted before half time.That incident apart he probably was the best player but should the award not be taken away from him and given to whoever was runner up?
