Ziggy, I agree with you. Zidane let his team down by losing his cool. The red card was deserved. Zidane shouldn't have done it, and it will be a huge black mark on the legacy of his career.

Jackie Robinson took a ton of crap and showed he was the better man by not retaliating. Zidane reacted to a provocation that pales next to what Robinson put up with. So again, I think Zidane made a huge mistake by playing in to the hands of the thug.

All I'm saying is that he could have done a lot worse, and maybe have gotten away with it. He didn't lay a career-ender on the guy. So I'm not going to get all outraged about it. I'm just going to be sad.
