Can't blame him fully....but he surely didn't do their cause any favors.

No need to look far for a scape goat. This game looked like it was heading to Penalties anyway and it was a forward who missed France's penalty.

Sad to see a great career end on that note.

Hero to Zero boy

I really am beginning to wonder if Materazzi tell him something to provoke the head butt...i see they were exchanging words but then Zidane like he changed his mind, WALK BACK and butt him out of de blue

neverrtheless i hope he is not remembered for this stain in his otherwise great career once it all blows off

as captain he has a responsibility to lead. This he failed to do in extra time at 110mins. That there was where he lost out on ah fairy tale ending.

His sending off was close to end, it did not matter....

France played well, but penalties are are game of chance.... like rolling a dice

Who knows whether or not Zidane would have converted a spot kick...

Who knows whether or not someone else would have missed, every action affects the other....

France did not lose the football game, they lost the penalty kicks....

I think it was a very even game, Italy played well in the first and France pressured in the second....

Would like to know what the hell Materazzi said to Zidane

No scape goat hunt here. If Zidane took the penalty instead of Trezeguet, he would have scored.

not necessarily man

Zidane's last two penalties weren't that convincing nah....in the semis it was almost saved and the final both Trezeguet and Zidane's PK's hit the post, only difference was Zidane went in and Trez didn't both by a NARROW-ass margin

Yuh cah convince me that Trezeguet would not have been one of the five taking penalties. If a defender stepped forward and missed during the penalties then yuh argument might be stronger!! Point the fingure in the right direction bredo.

Not sure if the answer is yes, or no but one thing for sure, when you act like an ass you will get treated like one.

He said figlio di putana (which is translated to mean son of a bitch) and then while Zidane was running off Materazzi told him about his mother. I am not saying Zidane is right for head butting Materazzi but those Italians are dirty, cheap, play-acting players and for that matter, should be treated for the type of players they are.

Look how he fly down on the ground quick quick when it happen. All that was not even necessary.

ps: - Toppa, Zidane played in Italy from 1996-2001 with Juventus. He speaks Italian very well. As for where I heard this from....this came across BBC breaking news as a rumor.

seeing that is not the first time zidane do that kind of crap in a high profile match i won't go and put the blame on the italians. While it is obvious that materazzi said somehting to provoke him that was a pretty awful headbutt. Is not like he put his face up against the other guy and he pretend to fall down. A lash like that when you not expecting it woulf make even goliath fall down....

does not matter what Materazzi said .. I am sure French players have made similar comments

he left France one man short and was not therre for the penalty shots

We will never know if Zidance would have converted hi shot.

What we do know is that HE WAS NOT THERE TO TAKE A SHOT -and that my friends is a guarantee not to score.

He has to shouldera large part of the responsibility.

You know what I am not a french supporter or a big Zidane fan, but I was supporting France over Italy.....

WHEN I SAW THE FOUL I REALISE SOMETHING NASTY HAD TO BE SAID!!!

AND I LIKED HOW ZIDANE REACTED, FOR THAT I RESPECT HIM!!!!

I don't think the French ppl (those who know football) will blame Zidane though, and far less Trezeguet. Midknight, what's the general mood regarding this over there?

protecting his ideals?..so basically yuh saying it is right to resort to violence when offended.

instinct..after the lil tussle..Zidane ran past de man, stoped..turned around..faced him..they had an exchange of words then head butt..that doh look like instinct to me....so if yuh respect him for head butting ah man that is ur choice..i respect him for being a great footballer...i respect him for leading france to WC final at age 34.

You are correct that some things are more important than winning but that is not a good justification for his actions.
