Zinedine Yazid Zidane

I feel for Zidane, yeah we saw him headbutt Materazzi, heck who can blame him, just look at Materazzi, he's a big guy with 'prison' tattoos all over his arms, and I'm not surprise if he's a very controversial person.

Well the Italians are a cunning team, they knew if they could somehow provoked Zidane hard enough, he would react and get red carded and that would be the end of him. Zidane was red carded when he stomped on a Saudi Arabia player in 1998 when he was provoked verbally too.

Well it worked in Italy's favor after all, but what the heck, Italians are used to getting things the easy way. Half of their team is involved in a game-fixing scandal with all the cheating in the Calcio, and that's the best team in the world? I don't know...

The bottom line is with or without the red card the guy is still gonna be remembered as a wiz on the pitch, and Materazzi just another lucky goon.

Hopefully you guys will remember Zidane as an artist and not as the guy who was sent off during his last game. The Adidas 2006 Golden Ball winner!

Viva la France!
