Okay, three things I want to see in the Vikash Dhorasoo film, “The Substitute”:
1. Zidane’s Headbutt
2. Titi’s melon énorme
3. Domenech’s tarot cards.
4. Zidane’s Headbutt
Oh, wait, that’s four. But I think Zidane always merits a double mention.
So are any of these things actually in the movie, filmed by perennial [...]

Martha and Bob have covered the details, so I’ll just say: C’mon, guys. Suck it up and work through your post-World-Cup grief the way I did:

Here. Let me help the process along.

It seems that Marco Materazzi wants to come to France to promote his new book, “What I Really Said to Zidane.” Problem is, France has said that they are unable (and unwilling) to expend the effort and money which would be necessary to guarantee his safety.

Put the 6th September 2006 in your diary, it’s the day France host Italy in the qualifying round of Euro 2008.

It wasn’t supposed to end this way. Zidane was meant to go out on another high, the hero, and after the first ten minutes it looked like it might turn like France dreamt it would.

The end of the road is in sight for Zinedine Zidane and has any player signed off a fabulous career in such a way.

France are in the World Cup Final against everybody but Domenech’s expectations, unbeaten in six games and we still haven’t seen the best of Thierry Henry.

It wasn’t the prettiest game but Les Bleus got the job done without any of the main players picking up a ban for the final, now they can really go for it and send Zidane out on the highest of highs.
