I'd like to try to sympathize with Zidane. Why did he make such a shocking move? From the replays, we can clearly see how the Italian player who was behind Z put his arm around him in a rather unprofessional manner. I wonder what he said to Z after that: that might have made an impact on Z's temper. Not to mention that the Italians like to make fouls all round (after three relatively crude fouls at the very beginning of the game, the penalty was well-deserved). Of course, the red card was well-deserved too. Ah well..
In the penalties, the Italians did win fair and square, so hooray for them, I guess.
