ScarFace Posted July 10, 2006 Well done ZZ small consolation for what has happend but thankfully FifA have seen true talent and greatness and rewarded it. Great Footballer Zidane named best player Nice Headbutt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Libaax-Sankataabte Posted July 10, 2006 He beats Canavarro and that is great indeed. PS: I just found out the fourth official who told the referee (after seeing the video replay --- which is illegal) that Zidane committed the foul was actually from Spain. hmmm.... He denied seeing the video off course . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tahliil Posted July 10, 2006 I just want to know the psychology behind such act. What did he say that was so bad that he had to resort headbutt in a final game where Henri and Vieri are already benched..? Still a great player, still a magic in the pitch, still a huge fan but what on earth did that guy say to ZZ that made him go wild like that........I am curious....Did those sideline Mikes pick the exchange???what happened?

-Lily- Posted July 10, 2006 I think no one will downplay his status as a legend just because of this one act. I guess we ll never know what drove him to behave in such a way. It's very easy to do things without thinking for a split second. Oh well, he is still very big in France, I was there when they won the semi-final, his face was beamed in colours into the Arc de Triomphe. Basically,there was Zidane and then the rest of the team. He is very loved by his country, at the end I think that's all that matters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some newspapers are saying the Italian player angered Zidane by calling him a "dirty terrorist" which is an apperent reference to his religion. "That is abolutely not true. I am ignorant. I don't even know what the word[terrorist] means" said the Italian player today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PlayMaker Posted July 10, 2006 Some newspapers are saying the Italian player angered Zidane by calling him a "terrorist" which is an apperent reference to his religion. I was curious what had been said but if he calls him that word i think his action was justified. Those cheating italians will find a way to get under your skin and that is what happened..

me Posted July 10, 2006 I was just listening to the news and they said that the Italian player said something about his mom. Zidanes mom had fallen ill and was taken to the hospital on the games day, so she was on Zidanes mind and this Italian calling his mom a wh-ore made him flip.

Viking Posted July 10, 2006 Zizou is definately up there with the likes of Maradona and Pele but I think Canavarro, Pirlo or Gatusso desreved the golden ball more than Zizou. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
