Z Zindane is a great player and no one disputes that. What he did was sheer thuggery though(making Rooney's little kick to the groin look like child's play) and the media fallout has been so bad. First they blamed the Italian for egging him on--then so called lip readers said a racist/terrorist slur was used. Giving the impression that this mini terrorist act was justified. Not in my book--the guy went out a disgrace and as noted not the first time this big shot has lost his temper. What an A-hole. Couldn't stand his French team either.
It was FANTASTIC that the Italians prevailed. Why on earth central defender and captain Fabio Cannavaro didn't win the Golden Ball escapes me entirely. The guy is the greatest rock I have seen. His D was shutdown katie bar the door un believable. Italy allowed no goals during play--just an own goal and a penalty kick.
There is talk of stripping the thug of his award. lets hope so. Fabio deserves it.
