He was absolutely out of his mind when he <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinedine_Zidane#Confrontation_with_Marco_Materazzi"> headbutted</a> Marco Materazzi. Verbal taunting is just part of the game. No matter how Materazzi provoked him, Zidane should have controlled his temper. Notably, Zidane has had a <a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060913065453AAZeglv"> history</a> of being sent off. <br><br> France had more chances in the game, and played better, but it just ran out of luck. In 1998, Zidane headed in 2 goals to help France beat Brazil. In 2006, Zidane's header was denied by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gianluigi_Buffon">Buffon</a> in the overtime peroid(if he had headed it with a better angle, Buffon couldn't have made the save). Then Zidane's another header on Materazzi just took France out of the game. <p class="awTags_TagLinks">Tags: <a href="tags/90">2006worldcup</a> <a href="tags/95">zidane</a> </p> 2006worldcup zidane Sat, 16 Sep 2006 13:41:35 -0700
