10 world cup moments

We will always look back to one of the most infamous moments in World Cup history, when France captain Zinedine Zidane head-butted Italy's Marco Materazzi in the chest during the 2006 World Cup final in Berlin.

Referee Horacio Elizondo was informed of the incident by the fourth official despite not seeing the incident, and showed Zidane a red card.

It was claimed months later that Materazzi had insulted Zidane's sister before the head-butt, but the sending-off proved to be the final chapter in Zidane's glittering career for France.

Below are ten world cup moments as we count ten days left for the world cup in Brazil to kick off.
