I'm glad Italy won! And glad that Zidane is gone..couldnt stand the guy, although he might have been a good player in his younger years..

Zidane is the first victim of video refereeing, that isn't allowed by FIFA yet LOL

there was no video refereeing cause replays are not allowed on the stadium, it was the line man or the fourth referee who saw zidane and informed to the referee

an insult was the most obvious reason, you cant react like that out of the blue just for nothing.


there is no way to excuse his action, but is understandable when someone is pickin' at you.


still sucks cause he is such a good player

None of the 3 referrees on the field saw Zidane hitting the Italian. The 4th referee used video to see if he did something...
So yes, they used video !

Well I have resisted the lure of this thread for so long,
But you have to admit that Zidane geezer sure knows how to use his head every now and then lol

Thought it was a worthy red card but what a butt - great technique and power of execution!

Shame its his last game, the french wizard has gone, but not forgotten.

I think Buffon told the ref what happened there. I read a newspaper article somewhere on the net about it, Buffon's statement, that he told the ref about that.
