Quote from: bearAccording 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.

Its clear Zidane will be forgiven.

Quote from: maximusotterZidane should get a free kick...to Materazzis face.

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?  :?
