Zizou...

Well the world cup is over and Italy are the champions, but this game will be
remembered forever as the game in which zinedine zidane played his last official game, as he has planned his retirement from football after this tournament.

Zinedine Zidane or Zizou as they call him affectionately is considered by many as one of best soccer players ever and also the most expensive, as Real Madrid had transferred him over for US$66 million from Juventus. I think that the record still stands...

This man will always be remembered as a legend for years to come and even after i'm gone.... He's a winner, a leader and even thou he bowed out of football unceremoniously, he will always be one of the greats maybe even the greatest of the 21st century.

Zidane has captured the World Cup, the European Championship and League Cups and titles in France, Italy and Spain


Apparently the defender whom he gave the headbutt to said something about him...

Some say he called him a terrorist and told him to play for his own country.... Because he's an algerian... Well italy had an argentinian in they're side as well so i don't think they have a case to argue about.

This is from bbc i think, they used a lip reader or something:

"i wish death to you and your family"

and "go f*ck yourself"

Zidane found that his mom was in hospital, just before the match.

he never said anything racist...he still deserved it thou...

on ITV news, they claim he said

"i slept with your mother last night"

and "your mother is an Algerian whore"
