WAS ZINEDINE ZIDANE REALLY RESPONSIBLE FR FRANCE LOSING THE 2006 WORLD CUP FINAL.

In the year 2006, the world cup was being played in Germany for the very first time, but what you must know is that this time it was a unified Germany and not just West Germany. The final match of the 2006 world cup was being played between France and Italy. The match was a draw till the normal time of 90,ninety minutes. The match then went to extra time of 30, thirty minutes, f 15, fifteen minutes of each half. But during the extra a very ugly seen took place between the Frenchman Zinedine Zidane and the Italian defender Marco Materazzi. It appears that Marco Materazzi said something o Zinedine Zidane, which really angered Zinedine Zidane so much that he head butted the Italian Marco Materezzi, who then fell flat to the ground. Now Zinedine Zidane , was shown a straight red card for the head butting. According to F.I.F.A rules footballers are not allowed to touch or even push another footballer. Now Italy won that final on a penalty shoot out, while France failed to hit their last penalty. So if Zinedine Zidane was not sent out with a red card, he would have cored that winning penalty for France.
