Soccer: Zidane's red card going to court

A French lawyer is to contest Zinedine Zidane's World Cup soccer final red card in the French civil courts.

Mehana Mouhou, a lawyer in Rouen and Paris, wants the red card overturned on a technicality because he claims the fourth official watched video evidence of the French captain's infamous head-butt on Italy defender Marco Materazzi before bringing it to the referee's attention.

France went on to lose the World Cup final on July 9 after a penalty shoot-out.
