It was the 2006 World Cup Final. The game was between Italy and France. France was being lead by Zinedine Zidane, one of the best midfielders ever to play the game decided to come out of retirement and lead the French team, and he did just that. He became the hero for the French, at times just taking control of games. When they finally reached the Finals the hype around this game was surreal. Here we had two of the greatest countries competing to win the world biggest tournament.

Once the game got going both teams were evenly matched and a pk by Zidane and a corner by Italy were the only goals. Late into the overtime however is where one of the most memorable moments in soccer occurred. Away from the ball all of a sudden an Italian player goes down with Zidane standing over him. The sideline ref was really the only one who saw it. Replays went on to show that ZIdane, one of the best soccer players ever, had just head-butted an italian player. He was given a red card and sent off leaving the French to go into penalty kicks without their greatest player. People no longer remember ZIdane for all the great things he did in his career or how he's one of the greatest midfielders to ever play the game. Instead soccer fans are left with the image of seeing one of the greats being sent off in the World Cup Final in the last game he would ever play.
