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.

Zinedin ZIdane may be a good player however it wasn't a respectable action from a sportsman to headbutt Materazzi, although also Materazzi should take some fault. I think this is one of the brightest and memorable moments from World Championship 2006.

Might be a little premature to compare a 6 year old to anyone..especially Zidane...
A great player yes but his red card in the finals was bad way to end it...The French are actually still complaining about how he was the victim in all of that?

In the world of football, France will find a way to complain about ANYTHING (unless it goes their way *cough* Henri *cough*)

I can't wait to see the reception they get in South Africa.

Following the Serie A as close as I do it always seems like it's the Italians against the world anyway..I know the English try hard to bash the Italian game for whatever reason. They so happen to control most of the soccer media so people believe them when they talk garbage about the SerieA...

The French are who they are and I have a respect for them but the crying gets old..
La Magica......you must belong to ASRoma!!
