A lapse in discipline. It's a shame. France has the talent but so often they let themselves down through something like what happened today.

The incident reminded me how the legendary French midfielder Zidane got a red card in the 110th minute for head-butting Materazzi in the Final of the 2006 World Cup. What if Zidane did not make that moronic judgment?
