have learned to do penalty shots and Zidane did not use his head.
I wonder what was said to set off Zidane? That was insane!
France played a better game in some ways, but after the goal that wasnt because of a nonexistant offsides, and Zidanes behavior...I got no sympathies. :P
EDIT: Replays show Materazzi giving Zidane a titty twister. Fair enough I say. :lol:
Crazy Zidane, but I think the player knew what he was doing.
The head butt:

Couldnt have happened to a nicer guy. :lol:
He must have said something really nasty...
That Materazzi fella looks like a nasty piece of work. Must have been winding him up all night to have had Zidane do that in a World Cup final.
No excuse for that but time will forget it and see him for the outstanding player that he is.
There were alot of unhappy Frenchmen when he was sent off, not to mention when Trezeguet missed the penalty.
ZUT ALORS!

If they did a montage of Zidane it would be of his skills, that Materazzi is ordinary hell be forgotten soon. BASTARD
He over dramatised what zidane did to get him sent off.

Zidane will say soon enough id think
What a prick... Id have headbutted him and stamped on his face just for what Ive seen in the montage thing then..
Bastard.
Zidane = legend. That Italian bloke=not.

Yeah, the commentators over here were all going, "now thats all he will be remembered for", which is absolute dogsh*t. Zidane built his reputation on years and years as a solid midfielder, hes earned the benefit of the doubt. Most folks Ive talked to basically think, "well, he probably had a damn good reason." :lol: Hes flipped before, and it was due to a racist comment about his ethnicity. Sometimes you just gotta smackem. :lol:
The French allready say we forgive him, he will be remember as a great player, I will at least, it was fun watching his nice moves.
It has been alledged that the Italian made a nasty racist comment about Zidane although it hasnt been confirmed as yet. Zidane definitely made a decision on what he was going to do before he did it though and should have known what the consequences were going to be. After warching it several times though the Italian definitely planned it and took a dive.
According to some lipreaders Materazzi said "We all know you are a son of a terroist whore"

with thayt and the other taunts including the nipple tweaks the Italians should be investigated. They do it if it was a racist taunt, this is the same IMO.

Quote from: BBC 10 oclock NewsMaterazzis first word to Zidane was "no" before he then told him to "calm down".
He then accused him of being a "liar" and wished "an ugly death to you and your family" on the day the Frenchmans mother had been taken to hospital ill. This was followed by "Go f*** yourself".
Zidane should get a free kick...to Materazzis face. :D
Its clear Zidane will be forgiven.

I think Zidane avoided that sort of action on purpose.
QuoteKeith Hackett, head of referees in England, said that if it can be proved that Matterazzi racially abused the Frenchman, then Fifa should take retrospective action for "the good of the game."
I wonder what sort of retrospective action that would be? pull the world cup from italy? :?
