There is absolutely no F'n way that should've knocked the guy down.

Sure it's a foul and yes it should've been a red card, but he acted like he got hit with a damn TOW missle.

Give that man an EMMY!!

Sorry, I looked at it again, the guy was not expecting it at all. Look at the force Zidane put into the butting.

Let's see you get head-butted in the chest by a trained athlete, and see if you're still on your feet.

Anyone trained in martial arts knows that a hit to the sternum can kill someone, and especially if the person being hit doesn't expect the blow to occur, as is the case here.

The Emmy should go to the guy in the first half - the one that led to the penalty kick. He wasn't even touched.

The refs in this World Cup sucked.

Practice. Everytime two soccer players touch each other, they flop to the ground and pretend to be injured.

Who cares? It's soccer and it's over.

Now on to real American sports. All-Star Game this week.

You are kidding, right?
He was hit in his sternum. The front of the skull, especially one calcified from years of head butting is stronger than ribs.
Such a blow could easily cause a nasty hematoma, cracked ribs, pericardial damage.
This is blunt force trauma around the heart. It can kill a person!
