He looks like a ghoulish, little Napoleon. I again say it enough; there's no way Zidane should be criticized for the "thundering head butt to the sternum." Sure maybe he sullied a 15 year career of international brilliance, and left the final game of his career, a world cup final, in utter shame and disgrance, abandoning his teammates when they needed him most, but let us not forget, he dropped a guy "with a thundering head butt to the sternum." Maybe he just got pissed off at all that France always surrenders talk. Nappy owned that continent for like 20 years. Vive le France!

I just read this on slate.

"Most bloggers buy Zidane's claim that the cranium attack was provoked by something Materazzi said. Richard Brown at the New Republic's Goal Post suspects racism: "Rumor has it that Materazzi called Zidane's father a 'harki' - the Arabic term for Algerians who fought for France against Algeria during the occupation. It's beyond all insults, the ultimate traitor.""

See also Zidane; arabic for a riposte marked by a thundering head butt to the sternum, most often used to introduce Italian futbolers to the pitch with unmistakable urgency.
