What is Headbutting Zidane Up To? 


No one will ever forget Zinedine Zidane's infamous headbutt in the 110th minute of the World Cup finals versus Italy. Recently many have speculated that Zidane will return to soccer as a coach, however currently Zidane has no intentions to do so.

Zidane spent yesterday and today vacationing in Bangladesh, and spent Tuesday playing soccer with Bangladesh children, and later played in an exhibition game including young Bangladesh players at a soldout Dhaka stadium.

The trip has given Zidane a clearer mindset in regard to his future, which doesn't involve coaching..."It does not interest me now. I believe I can use my talents in other ways," Zidane said, adding he would be happy to do something for children.

Also, "on Wednesday, Zidane was to open a nonprofit plant producing cheap, nutritious yogurt for low-income people, particularly children. The factory will be operated by the Grameen Bank and French food company Groupe Danone in northern Bangladesh."

Zidane certainly has turned a 180...from headbutter to philanthropist.

Seeing a post about the WC make me miss it. I wish it happened every year like the Super Bowl.

Also I named my fantasy football team "Zidane Head Bashers" and I'm doing well. Heatbutting has done some good for me!

Benny I know what you're feeling. I hate having to wait four more years for the WC, but I guess that is what makes the event so special. Congrats to your fantasy team. People don't know this but the team name of your fantasy team is much more important than the fantasy draft. That is why you are doing so well!

A friend of mine who works as a chauffeur in France picked Zidane up in a limo recently, and he reports that there was no violence. The guy's a hero over there and by all accounts a good guy, it's a shame that everyone over here will only remember him for that one headbutt. Meanwhile, everyone forgives athletes over here for their off-the-field atrocities, which are more heinous.

Eh, screw 'em, he's French.

In the developed world, virtually every profession makes use of computers.
However, certain professional and academic disciplines have evolved that
specialize in techniques to construct, program, and use computers.
Terminology for different professional disciplines is still somewhat fluid and
new fields emerge from time to time
