It's funny (odd or peculiar funny) that Zidane was such a fantastic player yet he will most likely be remembered by many for that head-butt.

I mean, for the average folks who only watch soccer during the WC, and even then sporadically, sure.

For me, it'll always be this:


/Oh, and those two times his French side knocked out Portugal in semi-finals thanks to shitty penalty calls

Aflredo Hawit, president of Concacaf, among those arrested in latest FIFA sweep

He had taken over after former president Jeffrey Webb was swept up in the last round of raids.

43 would like to nominate John Tortorella for CONCACAF president.

It started out so well with a Sadio Mane goal in the first minute and then Liverpool poured in 6 goals over the final 89 minutes

Argentine FA presidential election ends in farce as extra vote cast

The Argentine Football Association had to abandon its first democratic election in 36 years when organisers discovered an extra vote had been cast.

The vote between interim president Luis Segura and entrepreneur and television personality Marcelo Tinelli ended in a 38-38 tie - from 75 assembly members.

Segura has been acting president since Julio Grondona, who ruled the AFA after taking office in 1979, died last year.

"This is disconcerting and even embarrassing," Segura said.

The acting president suggested he and Tinelli, who ran on a platform of ousting the old order, could try to find some common ground and work together.

Segura added: "We will call a new election if it has to be done but we will try to follow a path that maybe this error was a message for all of us to analyse forming one common ticket.

"If that doesn't work we'll call [another] election."
