So, what about Zinedine Zedane, then? Condemn or sympathize, we can all fall foul of the impulse to act in a way that we may regret later. Zedane’s problem was that he did this in the full glare of publicity in the closing moments of his international and national career. He did wrong, the ref was absolutely right to give him the red card, but Zedane may feel the pain of regret for a long time.
