Revision of Zidane vs. Marcotti : The smack spoken around the world from 11 July 2006 - 11:20pm

Ok, so we are obsessed with le headbutt.

My son has not stopped talking about it. His father is a man with no interest in sports. So my poor son has been stopping men, asking them if they saw the final game, if they saw Zidane and ask them why the hell did he do that.

It's like he's trolling for sports talk.

He's upset. He can't believe the captain, Le Capitain!, threw the World Cup away with a headbutt. He doesn't understand that maybe France was going to lose anyway but seeing France lose like that has him reeeeaaallly upset. This from the child who cried when both Brazil and Portugal lost to the frenchies.

So, after hearing him go to sleep asking yet again, "WHY DID ZIDANE DO THAT!" and with his baby brother yapping in the background, "Because he's a freaking idiot", I decided to get a clip of the cabezazo.

What I have found is a mini-treasure trove of linguistic soccer clusterfucking that proves that fútbol is not only biggest sport in the world, it is the only real world sport.

Please, please, pretty please, help me figure out all the languages we've got here. Soccer is the true Tower of Babel, baby.

And now on to the, SAY WHAT?

I can't tell if it's GERMAN or DUTCH

DUTCH???

An italian speaking German? Is this Roumanian?

?!?!?!?!

?!?!?!?!

ITALIANO; but where are these accents from?

And I can't tell you of the countless clips with "Bad Boys" playing in the background. The weirder ones though were the silent ones. No sporstcasting or nothing. Just the footage.

Why no clips of the US sportscasters? Because, THEY SUCKED!

Honestly, ABC Sports ought to be ashamed of themselves. They sucked sucky suck sucked.

The gringos so need to learn from the latinos...
