Are French people going to blame the loss on Zidane now?

Question

I wonder if he will turn into villain from hero in the French history. And drama is that there is no way for him to correct anything-his carreere is over. From hero to zero in one second.
I would if people like Le Pen who already criticised this team for not having enough white non-Muslim in a squat and not representing a majority of French will also use this episode in hi propaganda as an example of hw violent all people with Arabic heritage are.

Answer 1

Hopefully not but it sort of stinks that he (Zidane) will be remembered for being unsportsman-like. That head butt into the other player's chest was not only uncool but unnecessary. Sure you're frustrated that you're losing momentum and you're tired and you just want the game to be over but you never lose your cool like that - and because he's retiring, it makes it all the more sadder because he should have ended his career on a high note and not on such a crass and disgusting action.

Answer 2

The French newspapers and tabloids will probably crucify Zidane and blame the loss on him. Last time I checked, one player did not make an entire team. Sometimes you have to look past the superstars and see that the heart of a soccer team, of any team, is the guys who run, defend, and sweat with the likes of Zidane, Figo, Beckham, and Totti.

Answer 3

I would say not. The French won't blame the loss on one player, as most people shouldn't. Despite anything you will hear in the media in the coming days, the French, as a whole, will continue to see Zidane as a hero. Vive la France!

Answer 4

Are the Italians going to hate De Rossi for what he did to Mc Bride? I don't think so!
Zidane is a great player and going out with a red card in a world cup final shows that he gave it 1000%.... there is so much stress involved at this level of the competition and he knew that the whole team(country) counted on him...People are going to remember Trezeguet missing his PK...

Answer 5

Most likely yes,he was pretty wreckless, and rather silly,they lost,they NEED someone to blame. That said,they may also say that as the Italians got away with a lot of cheating,THAT was to blame. They will NEED to find a scape goat,simply because they lost.We all want a scapegoat when we loose,its natural.
As for Le pen,like you said propaganda,now he has some ammunition,question is, WILL he use it?, probably yes.

Answer 6

wat's heritage got to do with it......can somebody check wayne rooney's DNA?
zidane has given a lot to France since 1998 WC(and football fans around the globe) and not deserve to be treated this way. But again people need hero,you take the job,they kill u!

Answer 7

sadly i think so! he was a hero, a leader, a captain for goodness sakes not only did he discrace his team he discraced his entire country! I feel bad for him because i am sure the french are going to want to blame someone and he seems like the perfect person!

Answer 8

I dont think they'll blame him...he did bring home France's first and only world cup trophy.....but than again the french always turn their back on people that save their @ss....so yea, they'll blame Zidane for the lose!

Answer 9

now y do u think racist should come in a game.Its a game after all and i dont think any game has anything to do with heritage.If it was arabic heritage then 11 players of saudi or iran must b having red cards by now.

Answer 10

Italy won in penalty kicks, Big deal, So they had luck! Now the mafia's wont have luck again.

But if France had henry,zidane,vierra in the penalty kicks, France would have won.

Allez les blues!!
