Can't you do better than that?

4 + 3Punch.

I don't know much about getting headbutted (or football for that matter) but in a World Cup where players are flopping for penalties, isn't the headbutt by Zidane being a bit overdramatized. Of course there is no excuse for hitting another player (no matter what he says about your mama), but the act didn't seem as "vicious" or "unbelievable" as commentators on the American broadcast (or that old guy at least) kept insisting. At least he didn't get his balls stomped on like that Portuguese guy; that has to be a thousand times worse. I would say that it is media sensationalization to draw in an audience that doesn't give a damn, but it happened in the second overtime.

Sorry Zidane, use your head (figuratively, I mean).
