    I doubt many people will see it as a 'stain on his career' for long. It was a spectacular way to go, but I'm not sure that "pu$$y" Euros are reacting against him as much as you imply, Drake.

    Although it's nice to see USians taking an interest in this, I don't know if they are leading the Zizou Support Group. France is doing a decent job of that role.

      I'm drunk, so my previous comments may be complete horse****. I just wanted to call Euros a bunch of pussies and let Zizou know that I love him...

          For once, the yanks may be right about dem sissy euros for once... Materazzi got a bump on his chest, boooohoooo! He could have had a heart-attack you know.

            I think Americans have gotten interested in this incident, which explains alot of the differences, particularly the internet fame. Very few Americans know anything about the Ruddock or Cantona incidents; I personally don't have the first clue who those guys are and, frankly, I don't really care too. The fact that it was Zidane, the best player of his generation, committing this act on the greatest stage in soccer made Americans take notice, however. And we liked it. All the *****ing about this being a "disgrace" and a permanent stain on his career seems to be coming from Euros. As we Yanks already think Euros are overreacting pussies, we just assume that this is another example of that, which inevitably leads to us taking Zidane's side on this. He's the hard man who laid out a Eurotrash ***** and we love him for it. And given that we have a preponderence of influence on internet trends, you're going to see that reflected.

              This could be notable in world history. When was the last time a substantial part of the US populace agreed with France on anything? Even Drake is a froglover now.

                Somehow I was rooting for France too, even before this thing. It seems like we've randomly kissed and made up.


                We love you, France!

                      Zidane: "He insulted both my mother and my sister with very hard words. I tried to ignore him, but he repeated the insults again and again... I do not regret the headbutt."

                      (translated from a German news source)

                      Zidane

                      I hope that sneaky rat Materazzi will be boo'd and whistled out whereever he shows his greasy ass.

                        Odd... according to BBC Zidane apologized for the headbutt.

                          Der Spiegel writes, that "he apologized for the headbutt, but does not regret it"

                          Zidane-Erklärung: "Harte Worte gegen meine Mutter und Schwester"
                          http://www.spiegel.de/sport/fussball/0,1518,426489,00.html
                          Zinedine Zidane hat sich zum ersten Mal zu seinem Kopfstoß im WM-Finale geäußert. Demnach habe Italiens Verteidiger Marco Materazzi die Mutter und Schwester des 34-jährigen Franzosen beleidigt. Zidane entschuldigte sich für seinen Aussetzer, bedauert diesen aber nicht.

                              BTW, videos of the Germans celebrating their 3rd spot. Mostly boring, but the overview shots of the massive crowd waving German flags are cool to watch at. I think it's the first time in history you get to see such televised images from Germany.
