Your World Cup Final Picture Book

While scouring the AP for a World Cup picture to package with the post below this one, I found a ton of fan reaction shots (like the one of these French fans above) and some other pretty phenomenal pictures. So I thought, hey, why not share them? Peep some pictures after the jump, including one of Zidane walking by the World Cup Trophy as he left the stadium shortly after his fratty-Tau Tau Tau headbutt. It’s worth a look.

Also, with so much talk going on about Zidane, I feel I need to give some props to my favorite player in the land of futbol, Thierry Henry. The dude not only made the World Cup Final with France, but played in the Champions League Final with Arsenal back in May. Although, he lost both matches and didn’t score in either. But hey, how many championship soccer matches in Europe have you been a part of? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

The greatest smack ever talked

No, that’s not a video of Jamie on Cold Pizza the other day, though that would be cool too. No, fortunately, this is the video of Zidane flipping his top in the World Cup. As you probably know, Italy won on PK’s.

Without getting into it too much (this is the weekend after all, I’m not supposed to be blogging), something crazy had to have been said. Something so insane, so offensive, so ‘I’m going to do terrible things to your family you (insert racial epithet here)’, as to have caused Zidane to do that. Watch as he wheels around and goes straight for the chest. Whatever it was, it had to have been the greatest bit of trash-talk in recorded history.

I mean, with the exception of Marcelo Balboa, how many things actually make you want to slam your head into another man’s sternum?
