The World Cup and How to be a "Goat"

I loved the World Cup this year. I've played soccer all my life, but sadly it seems that in the last few years my passion for the game has diminished. However, this year's games have revitalized my love for the most popular sport on earth. Maybe it was the outstanding play of the Americans (O.K. probably not) or maybe it was just because the game is so great.
Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. The final match was watched by 1 billion people. Now that's immpressive.

Zidane (pictured above) really was the goat of the final match . . . in more ways than one. In the final minutes of the game, after some illeged provocation, Zidane gave the Italian a full fledged headbutt right to the sternum. If you didn't see this you missed out. It was pretty incredible. Zidane is rumored to retire. What a way to "leave a mark."
