There is absolutely no F'n way that should've knocked the guy down

Let's see you get head-butted in the chest by a trained athlete, and see if you're still on your feet.

Anyone trained in martial arts knows that a hit to the sternum can kill someone, and especially if the person being hit doesn't expect the blow to occur, as is the case here.

It happened in high school wrestling...I continued to stay on my feet AND that guy outweighed me by 50 pounds (I was wrestling heavyweight at 200 lbs)....so hahah not working there...

That's horsecrap and you know it. No headbutt ever given would make his left leg fly out like that. YOu are just looking for an excuse. Like I said, it was VERY soccer-esque of him to fall down like that.

I consider it interesting that as a soccer player, Zidane used his head and not his fists.
