The games are over, the battle is won. Italy are now crowned king of the world - at least for the next four years. The French team were defeated, beaten on a penalty shoot-out, their captain dismissed because of a violent indiscretion.

Talk of provocation, in his name. A complaint that were personal insults Zidane by an Italian defender leveled, something to do with his family. If this were the case, then it would be perfectly understandable that he would get angry.But it is a school of thought, he would have had more than the professional in such a way provoked.
