Bend it Like Beckham

OK, so I'm watching the World Cup and trying not to be ADD since I'm by myself, so I decide that my player of the game, Zidane, gets a Wiki visit.

I head over there and think, "Hey, I've never done the Wiki thing before, I'll edit this and add on that he scored the first goal, the shoulder injury, etc."

I edit that. They go to OT. They go to more OT. Then Zidane head-butts Materazzi and gets thrown out. I go to edit and someone else has. I go to edit that to put in "Marco Materazzi" instead of "an Italian player" and someone's already edited the other edit. All I want to do is edit trivia so it says:

*Zidane scored the first goal of the final match of the [[2006 Fifa World Cup]] against Italy on a well-placed penalty kick that ricocheted off the goalpoast and down behind Italy's keeper; he then worked through a shoulder injury in the 81st minute to play the rest of the 90 minute game. He was removed from the game due to a red card for head-butting an [[Marco Materazzi]] of Italy in the 111th minute (the 21st minute of OT).

They all get bitchy and it goes to:

*Zidane scored the first goal of the final match of the [[2006 Fifa World Cup]] against Italy on a well-placed penalty kick that ricocheted off the goalpoast and down behind Italy's keeper; he then worked through a shoulder injury in the 81st minute to play the rest of the 90 minute game. He was removed from the game due to a red card for head-butting an Italian little bitch.

You fucking bitch I just edited this page. You asshole, it's my turn to edit! Fuck!

In the Last Day Of his Soccer Career, he was expulsed of the game playing the world cup finals against italy

And I'm like, "Guess what, we're all editing, and it's just Wikipedia..." and edit in my paragraph above over that a second later.

They get in to such a pissing contest that an administrator comes through and deletes all recent posts by non-members and I have to wait four days (just registered) to post any more Wiki articles, especially on Zidane.

Is it just me or is that the most ridiculous thing ever to get pissed about? My guess is they're a couple of pissy freshman frat boys.

The funny thing about the Zidane headbutt is that I'd just finished reading the article which mentioned that he'd done the same thing in another match and that he'd gotten a red card in the WC before for running over a Saudi player.

OOOHHHHH! VIVA ITALIA! ONE MORE PK!

ITALY WINS!!!!!!!!!

stupid people, wikipedia, world cup, dumb shit
