Something went wrong...

What is it that went so wrong?!!

How could such a classy and respected player as Zineddine Zidane fall so low and lose his poise the way he did?...

Or rather the way he didn't, that is shut his mouth and stifle his honor and integrity so as to remain a "cool" football player at the eyes of a mere billion people...

For the last finals of the last World Cup of his late career...

Or for his dignity...

When Corneille would have most likely called for a momentary truce, Zizou chose without a blink not to sacrifice his integrity... Again.

...

But this ain't right! This just can't be right!

Not that way, this went too far...

Something big got lost on the way.

And it's not just a World Cup...

... It's sad.

But if my doubts are confirmed -and I sincerely believe that this is the only explanation to what could have plausibly happened today -then Materazzi largely deserved what happened to him, and much more.

One's origins are not to be messed with... Especially if and when history aches.

So, when light is shed on this story and curtains fall down, our respect and admiration for Zou shall only grow deeper.

Shame on you Materazzi!!!

Courage Zizou... Un milliard de gens ou pas, Coupe du Monde ou pas, fin de carrière ou pas, tu as gagné mon admiration et soutien. Mon seul remords est de savoir que je n'aurais probablement pas été capable de faire idem.

Respect Zizou. Tu es le champion.

HHHHH
