LE BUTT DE HEAD

Header of the TournamentLast night saw a brilliant display of football from Zinedine Zidane, who scored an unbelievable header in the dying minutes of the FIFA final. Truly a mark of genius.

Some say Materazzi hurled racist abuses at Zidane, some say they called him a terrorist, while from the video, it seemed to me as if Materazzi clutched Zidane's boob. Click here to watch video of the header of the tournament.

Apparently, Materazzi isn't the cleanest of players. Click here to see a video of Materazzi's dirty football history.

And it isn't as if Zidane has had a clean sheet in the past either. Playing for Juventus, he headbutted Jochen Kientz in a Champions League match. In 1998, he was red carded for stomping on a Saudi Arabian player.

Like everybody else, I am waiting for Zizou to talk about the incident.

Dont really agree with you vinesh...incidents like these are just aberrations and dont really stay on forever...Zidane will always be remembered for his and only for his extraordinary soccer skills...
