What's incredible about the Zidane headbutt is that he had such an incredible reputation. If he had kept his cool (and possibly even won the final for France), he would have gone down as one of the greatest players in the history of the game. It was a rare example of a great sports moment that, instead of being a triumph of athletic ability, was one of the biggest gaffes in television history.


I wouldn't say he lost reputation. I think he gained even more, especially in my eyes.
