Reminds me of Cantona's outburst ten or so years ago now:
Which of course was also allegedly over a racial taunt, and also saw his exit from the French national squad. Although in his case that was unplanned.
Many would say that such reactions show a lack of self-control. Perhaps, but I have always maintained that putting a point of principle ahead of your golden career path is fucking rock. Zidane didn't even glance at that trophy as he ambled past it.
