That was a practised headbutt....he's done that before, and was ready to follow up.....misplaced, inappropriate, but great TV. Thanks for playing - we'lll remember you for more than that.
Try recreating your very own Zidane moment - click on his image for that authentic headbutt action (better if you got sound):

************************************************** ********************
Overall, a World Cup without a consistently outstanding player or team; football of varying quality; and even fewer goals than the last time. Team play outshone individual flair; defences beat attacks. Seems to be the way of things internationally these days.....
Top 3 moments:
1. Ghana's second goal against the Czech Republic....they didn't fulfil their promise this time, but they'll be back.
2. Argentina's second goal against Serbia/Montenegro.......all 26 passes. The best passage of play in the tournament.
3. Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty in the shoot-out against England. Approach, execution, everything - an object lesson for the English. And the performance afterwards by Rio, Terry, et al.....priceless. Maybe that's when they finally got it that they weren't good enough.......and that's what hurt.
Roll on 2010.
