I don't get it

Why did he headbutt him instead of just punching him in the face? It's not like he's not gonna get a red card anyways, he might as well make it worth it. Is it too High IQ for me to understand?

*headbutts you*

the headbutt is iconic as fuck though, a punch would never have been as noteworthy or memorable. Headbutt was the high iq play

He has no hair to cushion the impact and his head has a bigger surface than one of his fists.
Any physicist will tell you this was a high IQ maneuver.

as you can see his hand was injured

The headbutt was more surprising, he would have seen a punch coming.
Also his right hand was bandaged.

I wonder if he felt dizzy after or if his head started hurting.

You can't use your hands in Football unless you're the goalkeeper you literal brainlets

Kek

He may well have gotten a huge fine and long term ban for punching him in the face, with the headbutt there was even a small chance of getting away with a yellow, if materazzi hadn't been such a natural actor and made the most of it.

It was his last game, i don't think he would have cared about a ban. Better would have gone full American X and stomp the pastanigger.

the dive is actually one of the most sickening things in sports

you're in the final, let the ref card him or not, classic guido tricks

It's a natural response to the "leg breaker" or other attempts at causing career ending injuries, which I personally find more sickening and always hated that they get let off so lightly (part of the game la).

>punch him in the face
>dude gets a black eye or even a cut
>now has definitive evidence that Zidane assaulted him, even if the ref didn't see it
a punch to the stomach would've been the high IQ move

The old kidney slapper. Make him leak blood like the woman he is.

>most famous hairloss pattern in the world
>most famous 2 head goals in History
Not giving him a headbutt to would have been absolutely plebeian, Zidane is the kinoest player in history for a reason.

lmao

it's football you silly burger not handegg

retard cost france the game. based

Phonebook slap between the shoulders is an alltime GOAT

I assure you getting headbutted (or punched) in the sternum hurts a lot more than getting punched in the face

Wrong.

goalkeepers aren't allowed to use their hands actually

>bale is good lol

>career ending injuries
it's just banter la

Think of it this way, this is the only thing that is remembered of this final.
Had he punched Materazzi, it would have been forgotten already, unless he destroyed the man's jaw in a gruesome manner.
And there's another flavor of "Fuck you" that a punch cannot give.

I don't get it

suarez is such a dirty stupid cheat that he appealed for handball
against the goalkeeper
the only player allowed to handle the ball

suarez asking for a penalty because the goalkeeper used his hands

He was out of the box though

literal downie

Do you get angry at other poker players for bluffing? Because thats what diving is in football. Its an integral part of the game, and you CAN be punished if you do it wrong, so I see no reason to complain about it.

This. That referee is blind.

>not using kung fu
Zidane was gay or something ?

Why are crowd shots at footy matches always full of so much expression?

The girl on the right is my favorite, she would have enjoyed gladiator fights.

this is art

Also this guy knew how to tackle properly.

A bigger surface area means the force will be equally dispersed across more points than a smaller surface area - dulling the impact. This is also why dull knives suck ass for cutting.

Why didnt he aim for the nose

maybe he didn't expect materazzi to sell it so hard
On the nose would be too on the nose to avoid the refs attention

bald boomer on the left is making the bitch ass white smile

>maybe he didn't expect materazzi to sell it so hard

He was playing divegrass, theatrics are a big part of it, if those faggots Will fake injury for the slightest of provocations its quite obvious theyll do it when there is an straight up attempt to hit them, chances are you are getting the red anyway for the fact alone that you tried to attack a player might as well go all in and fuck that guy up

Diving and embellishment is fucking disgusting.

yeah but it'd still look much worse if he broke his nose or something

Good post.

>and you CAN be punished if you do it wrong
>things that never happen

this desu he won the '98 final with his head might as well go out from '06 final with his head too

he is after all a pottery in motion - a legend supposed to go out with a bang and he did it spectacularly as a player I just want to see his redemption arc as the manager considering we are in his exposed arc right now

this was actually a career ending injury when you think about it lmao

He was barely touched...

yeah but his career ended

Wow. This was unexpected for sure.

His major injury was when he signed at the PSG, this was a career ending move.

This. He went for a 'head nudge' which would have had a 50% chance of getting him sent off and walked into a 'head blooter' sold magnificently to result in 99.99% chance of walking by the biggest Italian tit since Sophia Loren (who also acted wonderfully).

kek I remember the camera zooming on materazzi's face on the pitch, totally in pain, with one eye quickly opening up to check what was going on around him
