Heading? Lmao. Most overrated player in history.

@@edgarpanganiban9339 who can you compare to in his generation. No one. Il est le meilleur de sa génération.

@@petitben5240 No one? Ronaldo outshine him before they "poison" him and started to get injured. Del Piero was the best player at Juve with Zidane in it. Zidane is a product of "marketing" and they overhyped everything he do. The man barely score and assist double digit a season and he still won those balon dor's because he was playing in a great Juve side and a great French side taking those penalties and claim all the glory lmao. Dont be angry, it doesnt mean he's a bad player, he's just a hypejob. If he's the best Real Madrid should have won 3 in a row UCL's or atleast twice but he didnt. Peace...

@@edgarpanganiban9339 Zidane was majestic to watch.

@@edgarpanganiban9339 : You don't understand the game. Zidane was just great and Pele said, that he was better than Messi.

They were playing great (Defence wise)

Yes, you say say that, but they went though the group stages because they scored more than Spain, who had the same goal difference and points. Greece actually conceded 4 goals in the group stages. But the defence was terrific in the next stages.

they earned their win though... beat the host team twice

If favorites won every single competition, football wouldn't be that interesting. It's underdog wins that make everyone watching this beautiful game to believe that every boundary can be pushed and given the hard work, everyone can win.

Greece was great in 2004 EURO. I think they would have beaten England there as well.

The man loved costing his team in big games in hilarious fashion

What a penalty by Beckham absolutely world class what a goal blame Gerrard because beckham missed the penalty when it was time to kill the game so there is no way back for France then what a hit by beckham

And to Suarez...!!

@@yashrana588 and to suarez world cup 2014

2006 world cup final ice cold

He was sick before taking the penalty.

Gerrard made that pass to Henry again in the league. What a bloke

And he also assisted suarez in the WC 2014 😂

@@SuperAsim777 Not to mention he slip practically gifted city title in 2014, i think that backpass to suarez was his way of saying sorry.

@Dhi Mancini that is not an offside bro

Lol, damn.

Zidane is french. Simply french. Born in France

kirat kirat So if you were born in Japan you would be a japanese ? Interesting. Honestly I don’t care about Zidane and people who choose to play for France. They are just traitors to the nation, we had a lot of them for 132 years, we know this kind of people. Only a stupid Algerian can think that a traitor playing for the French flag is worthy of respect.

LOL !! Please don't burn alive Zinedine. He seems to be a nice guy :)

@@djazayri213 because may be Algeria is a shitty country ?

This is the best team England ever put together. Best game they ever played. But then there was Zidane and the rest is history.

England actually still finished 5th and France 6th

not because of zidane is great its because england's bad luck.

@@nrm4754 when ur team wins its talent and when others win its luck..haha...u can simply c it.

He is the God of football. Still.

👎👎👎

@@michalholubowicz422 No. D10S is.

Not single-handedly. It's impossible in team sport like football. Bartez played his part saving French from 2-0. Then other players forced Gerrard to play ball to Henry who earned pen. Zidane just converted pen.

@@robertwill23 yeah. Henry was the twice the player zidane was at that time.

He was pissed at Silvestre, this was Invicibles Peak Henry, mind you.

Yet he never challenged rooney and just wasting his energy to run all the way there. Not a wise move

@@_ajamad He would have made the tackle if his path was clear

You gotta respect that especially when you know there are some strikers, great ones mind you, that just refuse to track back or commit to any form of defending.

@@juve96 he would have been better stay ready upfront. Its his job to attack and be ready for any counter attack opportunity. If he track all the way back like he did, he would missed the advantage. Every second counts, there is a reason why those great attackers refuse to track back. They know exactly what they are doing.

That's what Marco Materazzi did.

Argylberg zidane already won World Cup and UCL before materazzi idiot lol

And he was ill. You can see him throw up just before his penalty kick.

Hahahaha brilliant

Zidanes overrated

But they were simply fucked by the greek warriers

@@captaineagle1563 by the greek antifootball.

@@captaineagle1563 geek warriors who they ?

That's why football is the best sport.

The same year that Porto and As Monaco were in The Champions League final

@TheGiorgi7 yet still lost

And Greece deserved it. They beat France fair and square. They beat Portugal who was the host, twice. They beat the golden generation of Czech, with a bit luck but deservedly. And they drew England in an away match 2 years before this tournament.

Greece proves to the world they don't need superstars to be the champion.

+Jeremy Merrifield i know lmao. I never understood why people thought these players like beckham,rooney, lampard, gerrard were good they were all over rated af

+You Mad The 2 captains says it all. Z .Z against Beckham. Who I believe was the most over rated player in my life time. But the media loved him so everyone was scared to tell the truth .

Jeremy Merrifield ..golden?? Who mate? You mean FRANCE RIGHT...THE BEST FRENCH PLAYER WERE ALSO ON THE FEILD... MJ OF FUTBALL...AKA ZIDANE

Jeremy Merrifield..i agree

Melon Sky . Serial World Cup quarter finalists . They were not over rated . They were miles better than the current crop who will not make the quarters .

Truly

Not true because without Barthez saving the penalty kick France would have lost.

No the game would be 2-2. Because France won 2-1

@@jazzymars30 you do realize that if Beckham had scored that pen it would have been a different game right? Think about the mentality when you are 2 goals down against England at that time.

Zizou is the best !

@@jazzymars30 that makes no sense 😂

Brésil 2006

Brazil 2006 too. Honestly just google Zidane v Brazil

Mbappé is the new Henry

Henry amazing mbappe overrated

Without speed a footballer is doomed to be mediocre but this guy was fast.

@The Great Metropolis lol

@Joe Bloggs Zidane loved Lizarazu!

Nice to see a friendly post on here - makes a nice change! Yes, if Beckham had converted that penalty, England would probably have won and who knows after that, it was a winnable tournament. But Zizou was the man for the moment again (as in 1998 final).

You guys had henry, pires, patrick veira, zidane, makélélé. Barthez back then was much better than the England GK James also.

so many penalty loses and best brazil team in modern times stopped us

Good post. England v France meet again. Let's hope its a classic and may the best team win.

Vous etes partout haha

One of the fastest players ever

PLayAshEFF72 thats why zidane is better than messi

Could have put 2 keepers in there, wouldn't have made a difference. And Zidane didn't bottle it in 2006 didn't he? As a footballer Zizou was on another planet compared to Beckham, there's no comparison between the two. But as captains for their national team, both had major flaws.

They took identical penalties...

Oi zidani

in the euro 2004 , England was not Greece .. France and _zidane of big bald_ were just lucky when they reached semi final ... so very logical if Greece was be champion

Wow good spot

😂

His last ever France game was his best for me - he really showed his true colours v. Marco Materazzi.

Argylberg poor of you

It was a great header!

Argylberg Yes he Was a great header! Thats why he scored TWO HEADERS on his first world Cup final in 1998 ;) unlike Fressi who have not scored any goal in 4 finals with his NT 😂

Even Ronaldo also now won a major international cup. Messi on the other hand...! Lol ...

I just thought that Gregory Coupet should have been in goals @2006 W/C.Bartez was a bundle nerves especially in the final against Italy.He couldn't save a single penalty to take off the pressure from the France penalty takers! .

@@mukundutm ta gueule, en olus ta reponse a rien a voir avec le premier commentaire bouffon

Stupid islam

I remember he puked right before taking the penalty, thats why he was bent over. Still scored that totally unfazed.

Stoppage time not extra time.

Karius could’ve save that

Sometimes he doesn't think, just plays the ball.. sadly sometimes the English style of playing

why always Beckham?

+Powerarmed Beckham's error (or shall I say Barthez's save from him) led to not winning all the group games, Gerrard's ridiculous howler ultimately knocked us out, we would've preferred Greece in the QF. Besides it was Beckham who made Lampard's goal in the first place and still I can admit Beckham had an unusually bad tournament but you have to also admit that Gerrard always had poor performances in major tournaments with England.

Cause overatted thats why

Jumajas Jas why always penalty?

@Gary Faircloth I'm A Believer that Cruyff is the most Purest, Eusebio the fastest, Ronaldinho the flashiest, Pelè is the Smartest and most well known!

@Gary Faircloth oh yeah let me guess you think it's Messi ahahaha he can't accomplish anything at international level only played club at Barca what a disappointment

Zizou is in at 9

1 : Pele 2: Maradona 3 : Zidane !

Exactly!

Apart from the fact he literally puked just before he took it lol

Perfect height for a keeper, should have gone higher or lower...

he was big bald like zidane

@TheLegend Ho was that an easy save?? lol

I agree! Good save

I see what you did there 🤭🤭

+fede018 yup i was thinking that.

or beckham should have scored from the spot. Easy goal

It was a good penalty, good save.

was a good save but you have to expect a player of his class to score from 12 yards

I agree though, I don't see how that isn't a red card for that challenge either? A clear cut goal scoring oppurtunity and only goal keeper left...

1998 World cup final makes him a LEGEND.

Zidane was already a BIG LEGEND before that game. He already won the world cup in 1998 (2 goals in finals), the European league in 2000 (best player of the tournament), the Champion's league in 2001 (with a phenomenal goal in final), the ballon d'or!

Andryan Rinaldhi and beckham missed penalty

@@sangmadenaufal6339 That's true. Most Liverpool fans protected Gerrard and said of how good he was. Bloody Pussies, who thought of him in that way.

Indo?

Gerrard not a legend

He is Beckham missed a pen rooney did not pass

heard he bottled Istanbul

He bottled at Stanford bridge 😂

Lampard forever > gerrard

I guess Beckham missing that penalty had nothing to do with it I then

didn't he bottle it when liverpool were about to win the title? back when suarez was around...

+CorinOfAzaleaTown he messed up pretty much everything in his career.. LOLOL

apart from dragging his otherwise useless team to a European Cup as well as an Fa Cup

+CorinOfAzaleaTown There's more to that list, Gerrard did mess up big time in Euro2004 and WorldCup2014 but he also missed a massively important penalty in WorldCup 2006 which would've put England ahead in the shootout (then his fellow Liverpool friend missed after him as well, hence elimination) he was hopeless at Wembley vs Croatia in the last qualifying game for Euro2008 where England lost when only needing a draw and we would've obviously preferred to rely on other players but there were many big players missing for the game i.e Rooney, Ferdinand, Terry, AshleyCole etc... but that also gave him a chance to finally step up and deliver for England and you would've thought the captain's armband in that game and what was at stake would inspire him enough but it didn't, Beckham came on as a 2nd half sub and did so much more than Gerrard managed in the whole match (I wouldn't have continued involving Gerrard in the England team much from then on but if he was going to still be picked that definitely should've been his last appearance as captain but he was allowed to captain England after that in THREE tournaments????? just to continue fucking up). WorldCup 2010 the whole team were poor so I can't single him out on that one (but he still couldn't inspire the team like people keep saying is apparently a strength of his just because Liverpool fluked 2 cups).

Corin and don't forget the 2013/14 season when he slipped

"fluked two cups". Lol gotta love these fucking morons.

Agreed on Zidane being the better player, but I disagree on everything else you've said. It's dangerous to judge a players career solely on their international career, Zidane won trophies with France but he arguably had a better (and definitely more balanced) team than England. Zidane was phenomenal at Euro 2000 and in the final of France '98 but in the latter tournament he didn't get up to much before the final, getting sent off in a group game for a crazy stamp on a player and missing the next two games.

Combined with his amazing skill and technique it's no wonder he destroyed the Premier League for years. Totally suited to that league.

Zidane was never God of Football. That mantle belongs to either only Maradona and Pelé.

Gustavo González me too brother big fan of Zizou

@U Y Lampard had a better career than Slippy

Gerrard had that notorious quirk indeed. But the goalkeeper intervention is lame and fuzzy, he just hands Henry a penalty. Îm sure he was still thinking about the free kick.

Nonsense. A guy that scores a freekick in the 90th minute and then a penatly right at the end under that sort of pressure...

And to this day England still do it to themselves. Serial bottlers.
