The domestic football season is only a week away, but online people are still mulling over the World Cup and one incident in particular: Zinedine Zidane's psychopathic goat moment when he butted Italian defender Marco Materazzi.

For those of an intellectual bent, the New Yorker studied the serious implications of the event (tinyurl.com/g7mea), while Wikipedia provides a link (tinyurl.com/jseaj) to all the news coverage.

Elsewhere, it provided an opportunity to have fun with Photoshop: The Register (tinyurl.com/qxfrl) imagines how TV viewers around the world saw the event; somethingawful.com replaces Zidane with MC Hammer; materazzibreakdance.ytmnd.com converts the whole sorry affair into old school hip-hop moves; and Sudokuz (tinyurl.com/ f7pnv) have invented an appealing ZZ v MM butting game.
