Are you trying to say that France at that time was an average team?

im talking about current times, and now he IS overhyped and overidolized by many and i'm sure many of those have only seen him in madrid's shirt. a year or two ago saying that iniesta was better than him would've been a blasphemy, and even now only a few dare to claim so, i'm pretty sure this fact alone means that zidane truly IS overhyped. he has this untouchable legend status which is irritating to say the least. in his prime ronaldinho was better than zidane too, but oh this angers some people so much. but yeah, the frenchman is god. better than messi.

No one on planet earth would say Zidane is better than Messi
would they?
would they?
See, he didn't win 3 Balon d'Ors. He did win 3 FIFA player of the year awards and all prior to 2004 when there was no voting.

Zidane's 2006 world cup is the greatest, most legendary world cup performance all things considered, and played an enormous part in his legacy. That's why french people idolize him, why zizou is rated ahead of cruyff, platini etc. It's a pity to rate a player based on a dozen games but those were some of the most important ones and Zidane kept delivering. Was also rated as the best player in the world since maradona for years ( Ronaldo and Ronnie could do more in one game in their prime but they couldn't maintain the level )

That's part of the pathos. Legend comes out of retirement after an alleged dream 
lol takes the team out of the miserable excuse for a coach's hands (domenech) and proceeds to one of the best ever KO stage display as a 34 year old whose every game might be the last. Pretty much impossible to top.
The headbutt, the panenka that so nearly failed... just epic.
