I would argue that Beckhams act in 98 was far worse than Zidane in 06 as Beckhams was a simply act of petulance whilst Zidane was being racially abused. The difference between the two is the reaction of the respective nations. Zidane was cheered on the town hall steps, whilst Englishman were lynching Beckham dolls. The reason being that sport is seen differently in France than England.
The civilised bit is tongue in cheek... have you seen what they eat for goodness sake!!
France a more civilised nation? I've yet to see an English player (let alone a team captain) do what Zidane did.

You MAY be right, at this stage however, we can be CERTAIN that France will not be winning it (never have).
