Sorry, thegreat, a lot was made of the fourth/fifth official calling the ref back because he saw the incident and stopping play retrospectively.
If they'd have arrested Zidane, yes there was video evidence, but Materazzi? Accusation, witness statements, submissions to the CPS equivalent, yes/no proceed with case...
Meanwhile there would still be ten minutes on the clock of the World Cup final. I reckon that would be a good plot for a comic novel...
