The Americans call it football, but around the world, it is known as football, and say that football is popular, is the understatement of the year! For the French Football Federation, France has decided the team to second place at the 2006 World Cup and won the World Cup (when the host country) in 1998. Unfortunately, performances and their respectable second place, is controversial reputation of football in France.

In 2006, a game of World Cup gives players the head Zinedine Zidane Italian player Marco Materazzi in the chest. While the two players exchanged a single word, when it was not clear as to what exactly was said.

Today, both players still competing for the exact words that were spoken, but do not think that Marco Materazzi some crude comments made in connection with the sister of Zinedine Zidane. Mr. Zidane has since been known to sport in retirement, but still very well in France. Also note that the next World Cup is scheduled for 2010.
