Zidane's headbutt aka: the interesting part of the WorldCup

I am sure by now that you all have heard abou Zidane's little incident in the World Cup. I was watching it on Univision at my friend's house when soccer all of a sudden became very exciting. Several announcers decried Zidane losing his temper but it appears to me that the Italian was talking shit, and personally, I believe more Americans would appreciate soccer more if it had more incidents like this because let's face it: soccer isn't exactly the most exciting game on the planet. Look at how the game was won, with penalty kicks. I forget who said it, but that is like the NBA playoffs being decided with a game of Horse.
