I agree with Gail that it would have been better for Zidane to find Materazzi behind the scenes somewhere and deal with him then - but maybe he wanted everyone to see it all?

Here's another thing to think about. He did lead France to a victory in 1998, and that was secure no matter what happened. Perhaps he wouldve thought differently if France hadnt won before?
