Zidane has really let himself and everyone else down :( :no:

[Y2Stu]

what a disgrace!

[MGS4-SS]

The best way to leave the football world, with a red card. I'm happy, I hope Zidane breaks both his legs on the way out. Cheating old ****.

[thetechroom]

yeah totally, I do wonder what words were exchanged, I always thought Zidane was a cool character

[kylejn]

Whoa! That was awesome!

EDIT: Anybody got a clip of it yet?

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

What was Zidane thinking?!?! He was 10 minutes away from retiring from football as a hero! What an idiot!!!

...Well that was different. That Italian dude must have said something reeealllly dodgy for Zidane (who despite what he's just done, is still one of the most fair footballers I know).

France cant win, they just dont deserve it.

You're only saying that cause they knocked you out of the world cup...

[Martyn]

If France win, will Zidane be allowed back on the pitch to lift the World Cup?

[thetechroom]

You saying that because of Zidanes card or you still sour from the Portugal loss?

[Y2Stu]

^^

I hope not! But i think he will be!

Just because of Zidane? BS. Have you not seen some Italy's previous games? They can be just as bad.

[Leo Natan]

Do you guys think he did it on purpose? To show the he isn't the only one in the team worth taking the cup? I mean, he has been a simbol of fair play for so long, why would he throw all that away because of a stupid Italian?

[Y2Stu]

yea he did that on purpose, did u see the replay from how it all begin between the two players!

I suppose in a way we can't say anything till we find out what was really said between the 2, it could have been anything....

[sin-ergy]

PENALTY KICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha I can't watch !!!!

[BroChaos Veteran]

he's their best penalty kicker though...and it's going to penalty kicks. he could have cost his team the cup.

I wonder what matzaradi said to stir zidane.

[Leo Natan]

France can't win, they have no one to shoot the penalties...

[fascist]

I wonder what he said along with everyone else. I imagine something very personal.

[S.MULLA]

what ever was said to zidane- it must have been really bad and offensive to zidane. he has always been a cool and calm player all his career. we will find out if someone gets an interview with zidane in the next few days.

i still hope france win though. :/

[Bioshadow]

Goal! Forza Italia! :laugh:

[S.MULLA]
