Despite the need for the refs to review; the foul was so violent and blatant that not dong so would have set a poor precident for a sport already suffering negative attention from violence. I see your point though. However, Zidane is one of the best players of all time second only to a couple brits and Brazillians. I was sorry to see him sent off the pitch due to his lack of self-control in the face of the typicaly dirty Italian style of playing. Now every time I wear a Zidane Jersey people begin a head-butt tirade. But does anyone remember Les Bleus triumph over both Italy and Brazil in 1998? The Final was France 3, Brazil 0. Probably not. http://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/label_france/ENGLISH/SPORT/france/france.html As to your discussion question: I think the red card was valid.

I am sure that you have a very stringent definition involing ships that arrived that morning. My definition is anyone whose name ends with an i or an a, and I know a few who are italian on their moms side. The Falciolas, the Perozzis, the Dianas, the Skiffs, the Tetros, the Kruzeks, the DeLisis, The VanDalens are 1/4 Italian, Neal, James, and I am sure there are others that i am not thinking of. Congrats to all you guys for Italy's world cup win. Depends on your definition of Italian American. I am sure that you have a very stringent definition involing ships that arrived that morning.

I personally only know two real Italian-Americans, though it might be interesting to meet more. Out of curiosity, how many Italian-American friends do you have?
