I was really surprised about how Zidane ended his career with the red card. I still just don't understand why did he do that??? Really disgracefull. What do you guys think of that? There was no need, he shouldv'e kept his cool for a few more minutes. I think he just threw the header on World Cup and it was a very major reason for their country's loss. With Zidane in penalty kicks, they definitely stood a chance. Congratulations Italy on winning the cup. You guys deserved it.
No one else can be blamed. The team played really well till the end but Zidane poured water on all expectations
For those that missed the head-butt Definitely a really tragic way to end his career, especially after his amazing header which almost won France the cup. I suppose the Italian must've said something really bad to Zidane?
I am with Zidane... there was no point grabing him from behind, If I were him I could have done even worse.. and yes that italian said something to Zidane, we dont know what..
you just can't head butt the other guy....even i got hit in my nut, i will stay cool..it is a team sport,, it is not just yourself, you have to think about the team. He is just plain stupid....
Well, personally (if i was Zidane), I may have kicked that guy the place where it hurts the most, but not on the field. It was his last match, it was a World Cup final, it was in last few minutes of extra time, Zidane is their best penalty taker. Not a wise decision as a captain of the team, representing his country.
the tv guy said before the fault that Zidane may be the best player of the world cup - now no way for that - it's a pity that his career ends this way
He might have done it in penalty shoot outs which france missed if he stays. 3rd. shoot was missed by france and then finished.
Zidane is a cool guy, he played very well all the time. he didnt hit the guy at once, there must be something which enforced him to lose the control, I just dont blame him, because if you guyz didnt notice even italians didnt blame him for that.
Zidane was wrong do such a thing, his experienced enough to knows he would got a red card. And it's bad for him to end his career in such a way. But I think, when you watch it, that the italian guy must a have said something really bad, because Zidane was smiling, going his way back to the game and he suddenly turn back to hit the italian. Nevertheless, he shouldn't have lost his temper.
Its really confusing. Why would a senior player with so much experience would do that? I totally respect Zidane, i love his game. I just feel sorry for him. There must have been something terrible. That guy must have said something really nasty to him. That last header try by Zidane was amazing. I loved that.
Exactly, and do not forget Zidane is a human too after all. he is a wonderful player, It was a wonderful game. My salute to one of the best midfielder in the world, he will be remembered for his game, ever.
