Zidane

I've always had a lot of time for Zidane, I've watched games when he's played for Juventus, Real Madrid and France and thought that he was genius. After a minor holding incident last night in the World cup final (Zidane's last game for his country) the Italian defender said something that made Zidane flip and he head-butted him in the chest. Non of the on-pitch officials saw the incident and at the moment its thought that the 4th/5th official saw it on the video monitor and reported it to the referee. This goes against the FIFA philosophy altogether - but the resulting red card was the right decision. Zidane had no place on the pitch after that, and he went down in my estimations. The red card came in extra time, after he had nearly got his country into the lead, Viera and henry had should be substituted and if it was going to penalties, you'd want Zindane there. It did go to penalties and France obviously lost, the Italians put away some great penalties.
