I didn't get to see the last match in the World Cup. Needless to say, I was disappointed. But a friend emailed this really cute picture, which I had to share with all of you (of course). I also wanted to include a link to an online game where you could make Zidane headbash Italian players to earn a score, but it appears that site has been temporarily shut down due to excessive web traffic. Bummer.

The Nature Newsblog is reporting that mathematicians have shown that scoring begets more scoring in soccer football association football. I don't have access to the Nature News article, but it appears that World Cup goals cannot be modeled as Poisson random variables.
Wondering why I called it…
I remember a game, when Zidane was in Juventus, where he broke the nose of a player from Hamburg with a headbash. There was blood everywhere. He got 14 red cards during his career, including another one during a world cup ("walking" over a player from Saudi Arabia in 1998). Clearly not a nice person.
OMG! Hedwig, I'm crushed that you didn't get to see that match! I was thinking of you that day and hoping you were having a good time. Damn!!
Bisoux,
