So close yet so far

Zizou.... as he is called with love by his fans around the world, lost his temper today and it cost France its second world cup. He often terorizes the opposition by is skills, footwork and timing but today he did it with his head and literally. On any other day, if someone said something to Zizou, he would simply ignore it or respond to it with a superb play that would result in a goal, but today it was different. Today on the day of his retirement from the international team he simply lost his control, lost his cool and knocked off the guy by butting his head on to this italian midfilder's chest. This earned him a red card but it earned italy its 4th world cup.

What a shame. What an impression he left in the soccer world while making exit from the international scene, on the grandest day in sports. No matter how good of a player he is, he will be forever known for his stupid mistke in his last game.

So long, Zinedine Zidane.
