Objectively hilarious.
I'd watch soccer more if this stuff happened more often.

If the famous headbutt wasn’t nicknamed ‘the ZZ Top’ then someone missed the boat twenty years ago

Until more headbutts and they light ball on fire while in play, I just do not care about soccer.
At all.

Remember being a kid and watching this live. Was absolutely nuts. The Italian guy was talking shite about his sister. Deserved tbh.

Marco: "I'd rather have your sister"

Yeah well the Italian guy won the World cup for the team by provoking France’s best player to self-destruct before penalty kicks

Stick with me here. Soccer but with unlimited substitutions, designated Enforcers and Fist Fights like in minor league hockey. I am all in for that.
Especially when some guy spikes your star player and the coach subs in some 225# enforcer and everyone knows what’s about to happen.

Zidane was a notorious hothead. Wasn't the first time he did that to an opponent.
Can you imagine CJGJ playing against him?

Should have head butted him straight in the nose imo.

That squad was kind of regarded as a slight underdog but looking at the roster in retrospect it was absolutely loaded:
Pirlo
Totti
Buffon
Nesta
Cannavaro
Del Piero
De Rossi
Luca Toni
Gattuso
yeah, Italy has only produced a couple of players in the last 15 years that could have even played a role on that squad.
