"He who goads the striker into getting sent off is a shade less
culpable than the head-butter?"
Perhaps, but it's the result that counts and on this occasion, the result
was an audacious headbut that couldn't be warranted whatever the
provocation. Was that what the Italian was expecting? Is that kind of
reaction a common occurance in football matches? No to both. Zidane was an
idiot and though France played the better football, Italy were, in my house,
the moral winners.
That one incident aside, I thought the match was played in a surprisingly
sporting atmosphere. Surprising as far as football goes. Which, I'm sure
others would agree, isn't that far.
