Zidane: Anger Management
What a bummer that someone like Zinedine Zidane went out on a bad note. I prefer not to think of him as a bad guy, as much as having a bad day. He has had a career worthy of Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo, Beckham or Ronadinho and deserves his head up on the “Mt. Rushmore” of futbol.
In fact, after my home team of Brasil (my parents are both from Brasil) was trounced I really started liking how France was playing. The combination of Ribalry hustling up and down the field, Henry and Zidane working together was awesome. Even despite personally having some bad social experiences while in France, they were the team I was cheering for until the end.
I don’t like having to explain to my son Mason, who loves playing soccer, what the head butt was all about. But, I hope that people will remember some of the beauty of play that Zidane brought to the game over the years. Maybe some anger management or easing up on the Red Bulls would have helped France win.
