Role model for your kids? A guy who has been unfaithful to his wife, got sent off for kicking out at an opponent in a World Cup final. Are you sure you don't want to re-evaluate your estimation of him?

He was young then, and I think that taught him a big lesson. Plus, to be fair to him, Diego Simeone did foul him, then lean on him, then make the most of the "kick".

It will probably take more than a '100' though, I expect he'll wait for a '1000'.
