Zidane's Mozart Moment

How incredibly sad. Concratulations to Italy, who deserved it (see below), but unfortunately i will remember tonight for the wrong reason. The greatest player i have ever seen play tonight ended his carrer in front of billions, in inexplicable disgrace. A poisonous ending to a magical career.

It is one of life's great ironies that thin lines divide the bounds between genius and madness, and tonight Zidane demonstrated the disasterous deviation from one to the other. As with out very own Wayne Rooney, Zidane has always had it in him to loose it (remember that stamp on the Suadi player in 1998?), and such it seems are the tragic by-products of brilliance.

But does everyone remeber Mozart for shitting on his girlfriends chest? Or Churchill for being a virulant racist? Exactly. Lets not remember Zidane for his headbutt. Talk about it for a bit by all means, but don't lose context. Instead lets remember him for this...
