Oh, if you saw it you'd see that it was no dive... that was one hell of a strike, straight to the sternum.
Best thing is that none of the refs saw it, it took something like 7 minutes before anyone reacted... The real controversy is over whether an assistant ref saw the headbutting or if FIFA just reviewed footage (which did capture the headbutting) and called down to an assistant ref to tell him to book Zidane... The latter would be controversial because video replay-reviews are not allowed!
Freakin' sweet headbutt, though. You can be sure that the Italian said something racist, either against Zidane (Algerian) or one of his many black teammates... The reason that this is likely is because Italian soccer teams are massively racist, to the point that they throw flares at black players, even if they are playing for the team that the fans are supporting... Madness!
