chaos and honey

the zindane 'incident' happened right in front of us all........i have no idea what was said, but can assure you that whatever it was, it was not important enough to get yourself thrown out of the world cup final and supposedly your last game.
secondly, lets note that zindane has done this before. he stomped on a saudi player in the 98 world cup, did the guy call him a terrorist too?
he also head butted another player in 2000 in a serie A match when playing for Juventus and was suspended for five games.
no, i doubt zindane was called anything worthy of his actions, he merely lost his self control which he has managed to do a few times in his career.
having said that, he is still a great player, and i actually feel bad for him that he didnt have more control.
be as it may, italy was the best club at the tourney, we can argue till we are BLUE in the face about the last game, but i think if italy played france ten times with the same two teams italy would win about eight of those games.
the french for all their crying got to play an extremely tired italian team that by the second half of the game was utterly exhausted from their momentous game vs. the germans which will surely be remembered as one of the great games of all time.
ok, i know some of you are not interested but i think the top four teams in the tourney were: italy, argentina, germany, france.
if argentina had played germany anywhere but germany they would have certainly have beaten them. the only team i was glad that italy did NOT play was argentina and this was for the sake of my marraige and the fate of the italian team which would have been sorely tested.
as for zindane, he played fantastic throughout the tourney until his shakespearian finale which i still am in amazement about. he had a fantastic futbol life and he will be remembered among the greats but human, all too human.
