Like It Is

Another penalty shoot-out. Or penalty lottery. France dominated the match and really should have won this game, but it was not to be, as at half time, the two teams were 1–1.

There were many twists and turns in this contest. But the strangest thing was Zidane’s red card. Not that he shouldn’t have been sent off, for what he did that was the only response. No, what was strange was that he would do what he did. I can only imagine that whatever Materazzi said to him, it sent all thoughts of finishing the World Cup out of his head. That headbutt in the chest was fierce and tumbled Materazzi to the ground. I know this was Zidane’s last World Cup, but even so. Now all people will remember him for was his sending off for headbutting his opponent in the World Cup.

Have to say though, it was something to see..he looked like he wanted to punch him.
