vindaloo

What a terrible way for a great career to end. I believe every media related person though, is absolutely thrilled. Most of the soccer world right now does not give a rats ass about Italy winning the world cup, all the care about is the fight between Materazzi and Zidane.Given Zidane is a demi god in france, but I dont give a damn about that. I dont care what Materazzi said, Zidane should have known better. I will remember him as the guy whou head butted another player in the finals. THis is not the first time Zidane has shown his violent side.And I believe the World Cup is way too big for one man to overshadow Italys victory. Besides the French have always been known to be sour losers. And someone should tell the French that playing 8 immgrants in a team of 11 should rarely give a nation any pride, guess the French themsleves can't play anymore.And how did an insult on the field get blown to such proportions. Now some people are calling it an insult to the muslim religion. I dont think Materazzi was the only guy on the field hurling abuses at the opposing side player. It happens very often on a sports field. It is not very sporting to act, but then there are a lot of other unsporting acts that people commit on the field as well they all go unchastised.
After reading this article I believe rage runs in the family and may be we just saw a glimpse of it on the field.
Arrivederci Zidane I pray my heart forgives you for your moment of insanity and my mind remebers you as the midfielder with the magic foot.

P.S. After Aruns comment I have added the following info:

Also the Golden Ball is voted for at end of regulation time and most journalists who voted for Zidane votd for him before they could see his ugly side.
