Dear Zinedine,

What the fuck were you thinking?

I know that he likely made some horrible comment about your ethnicity (nobody in their 30's reacts like that to a "momma" joke), but seriously. Are you glad that you'll now forever be "That Guy Who Got Red Carded in the World Cup Final for a Headbutt"? That's not the legacy that a player of your ability deserves.

I'm not sure that the results would have been any different, as Italy was making Fabien Barthez look like Alan Bester, but I suspect your presence on the field might have supplied your side with a little more confidence, which likely would have helped Trezeguet.

Oh well. You've made your bed, now lie in it.

Disappointedly,
