Les Blues Lose Their Head

If you slept on the World Cup this Sunday, you missed one of the best finals ever (but you probably could care less). If you watched, you saw Zidane do his best to impersonate a bull, which it turns out, he's very good at. Zizou ended his World Cup career on a terrible decision--there was nothing gained by slamming his head into Materazzi's chest, but it must have felt good to barrel over the dumb goon. That is, until he realized he'd been caught. None of the refereees on the field saw what happened, but apparently the sideline judges saw the headbutt on the jumbo t.v. screen and then alerted the ref's attention (which is not legal under FIFA rules, so they deny it. I smell b.s.) Maybe video killed the football star, but no one's to blame except Zidane.
Materazzi may have called Zizou a dirty Arab terrorist, he may have given Zidane a titty-twister, he may have called his sister a whore, he may have told the foulest yo mama joke ever, he may have said, "I'll bet you a hundred bucks you can't knock me off my feet with that big fat bald head." By his own account, Materazzi's an ignorant bastard. He probably deserved it. But it was unfortunate for Zidane to walk off the field, head slumped, with minutes remaining and penalty kicks ensuing. The shootout would have looked very different with Zizou striking. I guess that's what les Blues get for knocking Spain out of the tournament.
