Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
Chances are even if you're not a soccer fan, you're passingly familiar with ex-France superstar Zinedine Zidane due to his famous/infamous headbutt of Italian defender Marco Materazzi in extra time of the 2006 World Cup final. The play became a popular Internet meme that summer, yet to my knowledge no one has ever interspliced Zissou with Rick Astley. Go figure. Anyways, since his retirement Zidane has been a goodwill ambassador for FIFA across the globe, however his character again comes into the crosshairs with a upcoming autobiography from French player Jérôme Rothen.
According to the book in 2004 Zidane fouled Rothen from behind, prompting this exchange.
"It was a foul and I went down, admittedly I made a bit more of it, but anyone would have done the same, as we were trying to buy some seconds. Zidane leant over me and said: 'Get up, you son of a bitch.'"What makes this interesting is that the French translation is in the same vein as what Materazzi said to Zidane, prompting the headbutt. Of course, this could all just be a publicity stunt by Rothen trying to sell books. Granted I'm not French, but what else could this fringe international player have to say?
