Also The Empire State Building .

Back to Zizou . He has apologized to all the children who love him . To the adults , he says that he does not wish he had not done what he did . I listen to French radio all over the world , and I am listening to Tahiti at the moment . The Tahitian broadcaster from an independence-movement radio has added that he is proud of Zidane . My Black friends from Martinique and Guadeloupe agree .
Zidane is French . He is also a Muslim Berber whose family comes from Algeria .
I am Welsh , and I am French too , through marriage .

This head-butt has shown how strong France is . And it aint just Asterix France .

yes, the head butt has shown just how strong France is. but you should be proud of zidane anyway, at least he was ready to fight - even if it was just a cheap shot.

Grow up. You can't let the other guy get in your kitchen no matter the chirping. The game requires mental toughness. Head butt trumps trash talk. Zidane couldnt focus on the real game and got stupid and lost. The whining doesnt help. Congratulations Italy. End of story.

Looking at a bunch of pictures of that match, I notice the ref was wired.
Why on Earth would they go to great lengths to hide the electronics? Everything hidden under his shirt, except the ear piece with the wire coming out of his collar on the right side and the mic coming out of his collar on the left. They even taped the mic to his cheek with clear tape.
Are Cup fans such techophobes they would freak at the ref being wired? :confused:

probably just keeping things neat and trim so they don't get tangled.

American refs (in multiple sports) don't seem to have a problem getting tangled. The only problem I've seen is forgetting to turn their mic on. :D
That tape must be uncomfortable as hell....maybe it's to make them grouchy enough to make the tough calls.

Its pretty much a continuous game though so the refs are running with the players while communicating, more chance of tangle. That said, the tape would kinda suck.

Yeah, but it was still awesome! POW! Take that bitch!

Ya know, when you're unable to use your brain to come back with something even more withering and cutting, you use your brute strength and sucker punch the guy.

Violence IS expedient. :right:
