The end of the Zidane era was sad. It seemed that all was well when the World Cup Championship of 2006 began. Early into the game teammate Thierry Henry was tackled inside the box, forcing a penalty kick. Of course, Zidane took the shot. Gianluigi Buffon, Italy's goalkeeper, chose the right side. Zidane shot a chip shot into right corner. A risky decision, Zidane's shot could have easily been saved if Buffon was patient and would have stayed up and waited for the shot. 1-1 in overtime. Zidane head butts an Italian player in the chest. At first, the head ref. did not see the rash move, but after consulting with the other refs, the decision was made. Out came the red card. Zidane held his head in shame, his carrer: over, his legacy: shamed. The fate of Zinedine Zidane is now in our hands.
