head butt

At the World Cup in Germany in 2006 and in the famous final between France and Italy, captain Zinedine Zidane hoped that the French star would lead his country to the second title in their history after 1998.

But after Zidane opened the scoring with a goal for France from a penalty kick, and Italy managed to adjust the score, the match extended to extra time.

And in the 110th minute of extra time, Zidane suddenly turned around - the moment he passed by Italian defender Marco Matatti and they exchanged words - Zidane butted Marco directly in the chest, and then came out with a red card.

Suarez bite

As for the Uruguayan striker, Luis Alberto Suarez, he immortalized his name in the history of strange football situations and behaviors. In the 2014 World Cup, the Arena das Dons stadium in the Brazilian city of Natala was the scene of the third and final round match of the group tournament that brought together Uruguay and Italy.

And in the 40th minute, in the attacks of the Uruguay national team, and in the tackle inside the Italian penalty area;

Silesian striker Suarez bit Azzurri defender George Kleini.

Suarez's bite on Kleini's shoulder made media headlines, and FIFA subsequently sanctioned the Uruguayan star by banning him from playing for nine matches with his country's national team.

The goal of the "Hand of God"

On July 22, 1986, in the World Cup quarter-final match between the English and Argentine national teams, and at the beginning of the second half, Argentine legend Maradona scored a goal with his hand against English goalkeeper Peter Shelton.

The English protested for a long time, but the referee awarded the goal.

And Diego later admitted that he used his hand to settle the goal in the net, considering that it was "the hand of God," as he said.

Broken teeth and bones

The memory of the World Cup - also - recorded painful and sad moments.

On the eighth of July 1982 in the Spanish city of Seville, West Germany faced France in the semi-finals of the World Cup, and in the 60th minute, the German national team goalkeeper collided with French national team player Patrick Battiston, after a decisive pass from his colleague towards the goal.

Battiston fell to the ground and fell unconscious, and the Dutch referee did not punish the goalkeeper for his strong intervention. The match continued, and the French player Battiston lost some of his teeth and suffered fractures in his spine. After that incident, German goalkeeper Harald Schumacher was dubbed the "Butcher of Seville."
