France coach Raymond Domenech admitted Zinedine Zidane's moment of madness cost Les Bleus the World Cup.
Zidane was sent off 20 minutes into extra time for head-butting Marco Materazzi in the chest, and after the match ended 1-1 Italy went on to win the penalty shoot-out 5-3, with David Trezeguet missing the crucial kick.
Domenech was furious with Materazzi - and he claimed referee Horacio Elizondo only produced the red card after the fourth official had seen a video replay. He said: "The sending off of Zidane changed the match, that was the key moment of the game."
