Roughly six weeks ago there was a rumor circulating that Zinedine Zidane and Marco Materazzi actually, inexplicably, unthinkably kissed and made up. The world was stunned, trees started drifting towards Europe and suddenly the world’s female population became ever so briefly barren. It was apocalyptic type stuff.
Then it was revealed to be a false...
Zidane & Friends Do Shower Karaoke
This video may have been floating around the internet for ages, with persistent rumors of its existence spliced into clips, but for those of us new to the Zizou and friends doing karaoke in a Turkish steam bath…well, this should either make or break your day.
Being sure the scene for this little clip is...
FIFA Does The Red Carpet
Awards show? Bosh. The FIFA red carpet blows such gilded nonsense right out of the water.

The YouTuber variations are coming in slowly...

Four Years On: The 2006 All-Star Team.
In life, four years is a drop in the bucket, unless it involves hard time and a bully of a shower mate named Benny. In football, four years is eons; if we were to reappropriate football time to equate real time, Germany would have a brontosaurus in net instead of Manuel Neuer. (Which sounds like...

World Cup Moments: Zidane’s Other World Cup Final Headers
For better or worse (probably worse) the one thing most people know about Zinedine Zidane is that he headbutted Marco Materazzi in the 2006 World Cup final. But when we asked for your favourite World Cup moments it was Zidane’s other World Cup final appearance that got the most mentions, and what Zizou did with...
