Zidane's Golden Balls
Alright the World Cup is now officially over and it's time to reflect over all that's transpired. Oh heck, let's just concentrate on Zidane since he's the only one making the news anyway. Screw Italy, their World Cup victory and their domestic match-fixing scandal.
Well, apparently there are two versions of why Zidane decided to treat Materazzi's chest like the ball. The first one was that Materazzi said something which was perceived to have insulted Zidane's mum. If this was the case, either Zidane's a mommy's boy or it was a bad case of a 'Yo Mama' joke that went horribly wrong. Which reminds me to keep off the 'yo mama' jokes from my own soccer games, some guys just don't have a sense of humour.
The second and possibly more official reason (or at least that's what's on Soccernet), is that Materazzi called Zidane a 'dirty terrorist'. I wouldn't know if Zidane is a terrorist or not, but judging from his reaction, he's definitely one dirty bastard.
In any case, Zidane's a pussy. As captain and your team's best penalty taker, you keep your composure no matter what insults get thrown at you. Moreover with his wealth of experience playing at the top level, even winning the World Cup in 98, he should have known better than to retaliate the way he had. While it probably didn't change anything with the French team in the final reckoning. But with him off the pitch, certainly boosted the morale of the Italians in the penalty shootout. Remember this is an Italian side which has constantly flopped in the penalty shootouts for the last 20 years.
And while I'm taking potshots at Zidane, might as well throw a few in the direction of FIFA. What in the world were they thinking when they awarded Zidane his golden balls? They had done tremendously well in denying Ronaldo the young player award for all the antics (ie cheating diver) he produced. Then to turn 180 degrees and award Zidane a pair of golden balls is a smack in the face of fairplay. It's more disgraceful than the headbutt by Zidane.
And speaking of headbutts, I received this in my email and had me in tears for the better half of the day.

SALAAM , SHALOM, PEACE
Dear Mataratzi NAZI, Mr. President Bush & your Excellency the Pope Benedict
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGES FROM THE BIBLE AS IT HAS IMPLICATIONS ON THE WAR AGAINST TERROR/ISLAM and the claim of Israel that god gave them the land. Blah blah blah......
Dear Zidane, I've deleted your post (due to length) as well as reprinted a very small portion of it here so that readers would know you have posted a comment here.
If you haven't noticed by now, the bulk of the readers here have the attention span of a 5 year old and posting the entire bible here generally doesn't bold too well to the audience. I wouldn't go into the entire terror/Islam debate here, coz I come from an anal country which wouldn't think twice to sending me behind bars for posting my opinion on the subject, or more pertinently, my opinion of you.
But I do, however, think that you're still a pussy.
