Zidane's action durring the final was just timely for it reflects the person who was ending his carrer. he lacks self dicipline and fair play which FIFA is preaching day and night. He ends his career with a record 14 RED CARDS. can that type of player be an idol to young players?

The BBC says
The BBC's Ten O'Clock News also called in experts to study the television footage of the incident and determined the following:
Materazzi's first word to Zidane was "no" before he then told him to "calm down".
He then accused him of being a "liar" and wished "an ugly death to you and your family" on the day the Frenchman's mother had been taken to hospital ill. This was followed by "Go f*** yourself".

Not at all because he is a great player, a great example of someone who has achieved so much.
The fact that he ended buttheading Materazzi over provocation and insults is going to be taken in consideration overtime.
If you are so concerned with young players, start by explaining that provocation and racist or personal insults should be harshely sanctioned to begin with. I think FIFA is working on this and in fact, Zidane and the captain of the Italian team had signed an agreement in that regard.
Materazzi should be sanctioned as well if there was any fairness in that game.

The end of Zidane career was announced long before the final match, but the fact that he “secured-out” his final moments in football is regardless… However I wouldn’t say that he's gone through the back door cuz he still is the talent that raised the French a world cup title (something that even Platini couldn’t do) and I don’t think that we should judge him how many red cards he has earned…

It would have been a lot better if France would have won the World Cup.
But those who know about football and can appreciate his career all these years, surely won't remember him for the red card...
And, yes he's achieved so much that certainly he can be an icon to younger players...

so he's a little hot headed... he is still one of the best who played this game all though it's not OK how he acted, he should have considered the fact that it's a world cup final and the fact that it's his last game, so as player I'm not OK with the way he acted but on the other hand as a person i think i can relate because he was clearly provoked

yeah you are right. we need idols like 50cts and paris hilton. Zidane being an algerian migrant who starts from nothing and get to where he is now by using his god given talent should never be consider an idol. 14 RED cards. What is the world coming to.

I think that Zidane will still be an Idol for many young people but I think that what he did was not very sportsman like...I know that he regrets what he has done, people will remember what he did for the rest of his life....
