Zinedine Yazid Zidane, or as they call him " Zizou" was born in Algeria in 23 June 1972. A great player who lead France to win the 1998 World Cup and to the final in 2006. He played under four European clubs, including Juventus and Real Madrid. Zizouo entered the world-record fee of $87 million for his transfer to Real Madrid in 2001 and he was the highest ever paid. Zidane attracted millions of fans worldwide at the World cup final with two headed goals against Brazil and made tension in the 1998 France won the cup for the first time ever. He, also, played great games in Euro 2000 and helped France to win that cup too. At the 2006 FIFA World Cup, he was named "Most Outstanding Player" of the tournament, receiving the golden ball but the France team lost the final with penely kicks aginst Italy and in that game Zizuo got dismissed in extra-time of the final for headbutting Italian defender Materazzi. there were a debat around what happened. some people thought it was Zizuo falut while other said it was Materazzi fault. for me I think it is Materazzi falut because as Zizuo later said " Materazzi was pulling Zizuo's t-shirt all the time then Zizuo told Materazzi that is going to give it to him after the game if he wants it." Materazzi replied " I do not want, I want your mother or sister." Zizuo was so upset and headbutting him. anyway, later Materazzi apologized to Zizuo about what happened. I think Materazzi was so smart for getting involved in dismissing Zizuo from the game because Zizuo was playing so good and if that did not happen France might won the cup. however, Materazzi shouldn't do it because the final is sport and in sport everyone should be friendly but come'n it's the world cup final, who care about being friendly?! :)
