Not even close to being true.
As the OP stated it is more a case of embarrasing than disgusting.
At the end of the day if Terry ever sits down and is capable of being honest with himself he'll note that his contribution towards the final win was zero. If he ever gets honest with himself he'll note that his contribution towards their semi final success was less than zero in the form of a direct sabotage of his teams chances. In short they proceeded to the final DESPITE his actions. They fielded a weakened team in the final BECAUSE of his recklessness.
Sure ... I'll give him credit for his contributions up to the quarters.
No-one is suggesting that he should have been absent from the celebrations. What was embarrasing was that he decided that he should be the limelight of it .... and in full kit no less. If he had any integrity and sense of team play he would have let Lampard, Drogba, Cech et al ... (i.e. the players) have their moment and joined in shortly thereafter.
When John Terry gets honest with himself he'll reflect that he was involved in 2 CL finals. The 1st where he controlled the destination of the cup and choked it up. The 2nd ..... where he was a spectator for the game due to being banned for his own stupidity/carelessness/recklessness..... and dressed up as a player for the celebrations.
And I read today that he described yesterday's victory as the best moment of his career?
The best moment of his career? Sounds very much like a John Terry statement. A big smokescreen to hide any acceptance of reponsibility for his actions.
And your Zidane point? What is it exactly? He played in the final.
