Still can't believe that one of the greatest players ever in the World could resort to such a ridiculous and out of character assualt. What a shit way to end a fantastic career what the hell was he thinking, it's actually one of the worst attacks I've seen , it was so blatant and uncalled for it wasn't as if the Italian had physically assualted him. If it was a touch of the verbals surely he's old enough to rise above it, PRAT, glad they lost. Also wish England could take pens like that(including Lamps of course!).
...and off he went!
I havent seen the papers yet , but I am sure he hit the front pages , but possibly not in the way that was expected.
What a dreadful display to show on the biggest world stage of his chosen profession.
One minute he hit what was nearly the hardest header I had ever seen, the next he used the same bit of his body for violence. It does not matter what was said to him, a player of his years, should have risen above it.
I also bet that in a time of European football, being full of acrobatic diving , that actually really hurt the Italian guy.
What a depressing incident... 18 Years, 10 Months ago
Not a great game anyway; France played better than Italy.
But the Zidane nutting was horrifying and totally out of character.
I thought it was a great World Cup but the early games were better.
Still. for me, best goal Argentina; Best individual performance - Zidane in the Brazil game...
And best red card; a battle between Rooney and Zidane - I think (as a male) the one who went for the balls just edges it!
