The red card that spelled the premature end to Zinedine Zidane's glittering career was presented to Argentine President Nestor Kirchner here yesterday.
Horatio Elizondo, the Argentine referee who plucked the red card out of his pocket after Zidane's infamous headbutt on Italy's Marco Materazzi, handed over the item of World Cup memorabilia after a one hour meeting with Kirchner at his presidential office.
Kirchner was evidently thrilled with the gift, playfully brandishing the tool of Zidane's downfall .
Can this be considered as a case of gloating over the misfortune of another person?
