Zidane is done

My! Oh! My

The soccer world was aghast to see the repeated replays of the "head butt" incident involving Zizou and Materazzi. Why on earth would a man of Zizou's calibre and composure lose his head over something so incomprehensible and cause a nasty fowl, on such a momentous occasion as this - A WORLD CUP FINAL -His last world cup and international football appearance.

Such an ignominious exit from a glorious and glittering career !

He has still been awarded the "golden ball", but this won't console the hearts of millions of his fans.

Het: I saw those reasons but not convinced though.
I spared a thought ofor "fixing" but Zizou's impeccable image refreained me from thinkin further.

Whatever the opponent may have said.. That was not enough reason for someone of Zidane's stature to act in such a manner. Unfortunately, the game (not just soccer but all competitive sport) is no longer a place to show your skills but has become more like a battle.. Where there are aligations of bribing (match fixing) , violence (aggressive tackling) and using un-gentlemanly means to provoke the opponent and make him/her lose concentration.. A good sportsman should keep away from being pulled into these distractions and play the game in the good ole spirit of the game.. I think that Zidane should not have been given the golden ball..
