Default A future soccer player

As you may know by now I'm not a "true" soccer fan, but I thought maybe the "true" soccer fans would be insterested in this article/video.

I thought the child was cute.

There was a much taller child playing for one of the teams. Either he was extremely tall for the age group or for some reason he was playing in the wrong age catagory.

I also happen to know who Zidane is because he played for France in the 2006 and wound up headbutting an Italian player. lol

I thought he was a good soccer player. That's why I was sad when he headbutted the Italian player. I didn't get to see him play after that.

Zinedine Zidane is one of the greatest soccer player of the history of this sport; watch him play was so beutiful..
he stopped his career after the world championship of 2006.. he headbutted an italian player in the final, Marco Materazzi, of Internazionale MIlano.. that was his last match; a great player, a bad end

That was the first time I saw the world championship and he was one of the players I enjoyed watching. I never saw him play before that, but I was sad when that was his final game.

I didn't know much about the guy, but I know everyone was shocked when he did that. I'm assuming he was a nice guy as well as a good soccer player since everyone was shocked by it.
