The latter stages of his career have not been too kind to one of football's greatest, Zinedine Zidane.
First there was the less than enjoyable experience of the being ejected from the 2006 World Cup Final for head-butting Italy's Marco Materazzi. Then just last year, Zidane got his hands involved with the Qatar 2022 World Cup bid. For a country with 45C summer temperatures and no world class stadiums, FIFA executives and the three-time FIFA World Player of the Year, sure took a shining to the tiny Middle East Nation and their bags full of money. Zidane was reportedly paid $15 million for endorsing the successful bid.
And now the latest "misstep" in the French national's careers occured in a match with children no less. My advice...He should've done this in the WC Final against Italy, and beat the Azzurri at their own game!
By the way...can anyone tell me what the tiny sultanate of less than 2 million people is going to do with 12 - 40 thousand plus seat stadiums when the World Cup is over with???
