Best header of the World Cup Final :D

So... tho I missed it when it happen, and when it replayed during the World Cup finals coverage on Sunday... *sigh*... I've seen the many replays and heard the many reviews on BBC. Monday morning, one of the BBC sports news correspondent, Gordon Farquhar, made a rather silly comment about the "header"... that probably cost France the match and the World Cup - debateable.

He said, "But it's going to be a bit embarrassing for Fifa - the man who got sent off in the final for a completely unacceptable foul against another player is the guy who's been chosen by journalists as the man of the tournament.
"The reason the journalists voted for Zidane was this great emotional thing - everybody knew it was his last tournament and the final was his last game of football ever - but most people were dumbfounded to see what he did on Sunday.
"If you'd asked the 2,012 journalists - who voted for him - after the game whether they wanted to change their vote, they probably would have." (You can read the rest of that article at the BBC website... my limited html knowledge not allowing me to give a link... :( )

Clown... Why would Fifa be embarassed? Didn't they follow the protocol? And in any case, the head butt that Zidane delivered to Materazzi isn't a good enough reason to deprive a perfectly eligible candidate of the post... in my eyes. He played well throughout the tournament.
Obviously, Materazzi had aggravated him for him to have to retaliate in that way. I mean, come on, Zidane has been playing football for a while now, and if he hadn't been able to take comments from players from other teams, and just keep cool, he wouldn't have gotten so far, or even be considered as the Man of the Tournament. Sure, send him off the field, but don't deprive him of the position he earned and deserved.

In today's report, one of the leads on the BBC website, it states "Zinedine Zidane will speak publicly for the first time after his controversial red card in the World Cup final, which France lost to Italy on penalties."
It also states that Materazzi denied reports that he called Zidane a "terrorist" or insulted his mother.

Materazzi: I didn't call Zidane a terrorist and certainly didn't mention his mother. I am ignorant, I don't even know what an Islamic terrorist is; my only terrorist is her (pointing to his 10-month-old daughter).
I did not bring up Zidane's mother; for me a mother is sacred.

So no Simone, according to Materazzi himself, him neva seh nuttin bout Zidane modda. But can we believe him?

I guess it will all be revealed today when Zidane speaks out... but can we believe Zidane?
