In the aftermath of the final of the soccer World Cup, won by Italy in a closely contested match involving a penalty shoot-out and a widely publicised sending-off of French footballing genius Zinedine Zidane, the question on everyone's lips was, "Why did he do it?".
10 minutes before the end of extra-time and with a penalty shoot-out looming large, Zidane ferociously head-butted Italian forward Marco Materazzi after being provoked. This was Zidane's last professional soccer match. With the prospect of a second World Cup to add to his glittering achievements in the sport, this extreme reaction from the veteran player was the subject of much debate. Players from both teams have indicated that some strong provocation from Materazzi caused the regrettable action at a crucial point in the match.
Materazzi, who had earlier scored in the 19th minute to level scores at 1-1, apparently walked up to Zidane asking, "Bhaiyya, hum Chlor-mint kyun khaate hain?" Enraged at this ridiculous question at such a tense time, Zidane head-butted the Italian in the chest, knocking him down in front of a packed stadium before yelling, "Damn fool! Ab dubara mat poochna!"
