Trash talk of all kinds goes on all the time in sports and anyone of that experience level should easily be able to walk away. He cost he entire team. The other guy is just a sniveling little weasel.

Without a doubt, Zidane let him get under his skin and it cost them the World Cup. I still shake my head at that (no pun initended).
