Another Soccer Headbutt (And Yes, Zidane Is Loosely Involved)

by Chris Littmann • Jan 29, 2010 10:20 AM EST

It's not usually our bag to go back-to-back soccer posts to start the day, but who can resist a good video of an unhinged goalie headbutting an referee?

The headbutt from Algeria's keeper alone will bring up the name Zinedine Zidane once again, but here's the great irony: Yahoo had a story on the same day as this game reporting that Zidane is functioning in an advisory role for Algeria. Somehow, I don't think this was what they had in mind. (And yes, I realize he's working with them for the World Cup, but still, the point stands.)
