  • Shame on Materazzi! Shame on Italy!

    Materazzi must have said something very bad to make Zidane becoming so furious...

    Still Zidane deserved the red card but the way he received it was... crazy! None of the referee saw it. The referee had listened the denunciation of C. Ronaldo against Rooney. Similarly he listened the denunciation of Buffon who pointed the giant screen where a slow motion of the foul was shown. But the use of video is forbidden in football isn't it?

    Hoppefully the football fans will remember the magic Zidane not the violent one.

    • Idiots all around.

      Italy won the cup because they were the team that performed the best.. End of story. They were the most consistent and capable. 12 goals from 10 players. Allowing only 2 in the entire tournament.what other team produced such results? Say what you will about the gamesmanship of Marco fact is Zizou is the weaker one of the 2. Keep your head? Are you that ignorant that you think nothing else was said through the entire match... Easy games for Italy? they played the #2 team in the world the #5 team in the world. The number 1 team in africa. They beat the Germans- faced the best strikers in the world in svevchenko and henry and had it easy... What most dont realize is the talent pool that Italy has in its ranks. They sit players that would be starters in every other country Inzhagi- Delpiero- Iaquinta- Just to name a few. Also Nesta the finest defender in the world was injured and we still dominated the tournament. Those who like Brazil are simple minded idiots succeptable to good american marketing. All of a sudden you are wearing the Rohnaldino shirts thinking your a football fan. The true afficianados of the sport understand what quality is...
      Zizou- great player with a weak mind........
      Italy is the number 1 team in the world. Scandal or not.
      The proof is the very basis of the world cup.

    • Nope

      Ref didn't listen to Buffon, he listened to the side ref who clearly saw what happened

      By Psysky 1152498485
    • THIS IS CORRECT

      Buffon told the side ref. to tell what he saw, for some reason he didn't say it right away, probably he hoped nobody would say anything. probably he knew that it would cost Zidane a RED card. But yes, it was the side refery who told at the end, he saw the violent act.

      By cibercitizen 1152506201
    • No it's not

      The reason why the assistant ref. didn't say anything beacuse he was busy watching the huge tv replaying the foul like in american football. They didn't see the foul live they saw the replay.

    • You've got to be kidding!!!

      You blame Materazzi??????
      That is assinine. I don't care if he said Zidane's mother is rotting in hell. It doesn't matter. S**t talking goes on in every physical sport and you have to keep your cool and take it out on the playing field. What Zidane did was not only extremely selfish but probably cost France the World cup in the shootout round. Do you have any idea the S**t hockey and basketball players say to each other throughout a game? It's unfortunately part of the game to get in someone's head and obviously the word was out that Zidance was susceptible to being psyched out.

    • zizou

      He doesn't is class. He doesn't start S**t talking. He just plays. He has respect for the game. He just took out the garbage. Zidane would have got away with it to if the refs weren't paid and looked at the replay. The refs F**king cheated. No one respects a mouth piece. How does evil succeed? If noble men do nothing. THe racist comments by mattarazi facist were not allowed by the noble Zidane. I think Italy is a nice place. I just think their footballers are dirty, diving pussies. PS 1934 and 1938 world cups were bullshit wins

    • Do you know Zidane well enough?

      it has not been the first time that zidane hurts an opponent player! look at the Juventus matches.. he received the red card only for silly things he did (kicks, punches etc..). don't be too fast with the conclusions.. Materazzi, in Italy, is known for his tackles, not for his offensive sentences.. trust in me!

    • The same way you said "Matterazzi m...

      The same way I can say Zidane was plane stupid. Maybe you will never know what Matterazzi told him but I will always know one thing: his reaction was weak, stupid and selfish considering it was not easy for his team mates to loose him in those momments....
      So, enough with "Respect Ziadne" and so on.. that is nothing to be respected for.... it is football afterall....

      By ptz 1152515421
    • Wrong.

      Where you get your info from? The use of replays was banned by FIFA, even if only for the crowd. That means that no replay is ever shown at any monitor in the stadium. So unless you saw it nobody knew why he got the red card.

      and like psysky said he listened to the side ref who saw the whole thing.

      By goat_187 1152499714
    • well

      let's face it .. Zidane did an awful gesture a gesture he should have never done because no matter what materazzi said he didn't had the right to punch him .. like geee we live in the 21st century not middle age or something ... he deserved his fate .. and if you still remenber he had done this sort of things before... I think that France should have won because they played a better game but hey the ball is round and things can always take a strange turn

      By A.Deia 1152508405
    • hmm

      So I've heard that Materazzi said something racist to Zidane. I think it was in an interview with the some other French player after the game,

    • FACT!

      actually in all of the amgazines and new reports both in italy and in France and well world wide now.. Materazzi DID infact annouce an apology for calling Zidanes mom and sister a whore.. this is fact.. so i support zizou in his actions WORLD CUP OR NOT , you do not speak about one's mom or sister in that tone..a head butt would have been the least of materazzi's worries if it were me.

    • what Materarri said

      A couple of magazines and tabloids from different countries used people who can read from lips to find out what he said. Funny thing is, every paper "found out" something different. Here are a couple of tries:

      "your the son of a terrorist-bitch, piss off"
      "your sister is a whore 2x"
      "your a terrorist"

      And btw, Materazzi really thinks that ppl believe him that he doesnt know what a "muslim terrorist" is ... most stupid person on the planet ?

      AS LONG AS HE DOES NOT KILL ANYBODY, HE CAN DO WHATEVER HE WANTS. ITALIANS ARE CHEATERS ANYWAY. I HEARD THEY CALL HIS MOM A TERRORIST BITCH.

      THAK YOU ZIDANE FOR YOUR TALENT. YOU ARE STILL THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD ALONG WITH RONALDINHO.

    • YOU GO AHEAD AND CRY

      It doesnt matter if he said "terrorist, MohterFucker, Asshole, Bitch." These players are competing at the top of their sport. If they cant practice enough self control to keep their heads to themselves then they are simply stupid. Materazzi could have claimed to R**e his mother. It doenst matter. Its a game. You let the mind tricks get to you its your fualt. I dont prefer italy over france or vice versa but thats just the way it is.

      By CoonBoy 1152640574
    • Terrorist whore...

      In a news release, it was said that Materazzi called Zidane the "... son of a terrorist whore." He also is claimed to have insulted Zidane's mother, who happens to be very ill and in the hospital. These allegations come from lip reading experts who examined the video. Shame this has to happen and mar the biggest game of the beautiful game, but Materazzi deserved it.

    • Comments on TV!

      At has been alleged that Materazzi said something offensive about Zidane's sister that made him turn and "head butt" him. We should wait for the official report from the investigators. Sorry for Zidane (France) for the mishap as a lot of people here in South Africa were behind France.

      I am not sure of the use of videos as a form to rule a judgement is correct. They should have waited for a protest letter from the Italian side after the match. I think that could have been a fair judgement.

      By Sowetan 1152613765
    • Ummm

      well actually the truth is that Materazzi really deserves that because he said stuff that pissed off Zidan he told him that he's an "Arab Terroris" ..do u think that that was a proper thing to say ...?? what a shame..!!

    • LATEST NEWS ON ZIDANE/MATERAZZI CASE

      a new zealand news reporter took the headbutting footage to a professional italian lipreaders, they came up with the conclusion that ZIDANE WAS PROVOKED according to them MATERAZZI SAID " I WISH AN UGLY DEATH TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY" this most likely came on because zidanes elderly mother is dying AND right before the headbutt HE TOLD HIM TO F**k OFF

      on this evidence im with zidane materazzi deserved what he got

      r u kidding me ..... do u know what he said to him ...no thats what i thought ..... dude thats bullshit ... dont be saying that S**t k cause u were not on the feild when he said that so u can F**k off dude ... here ..

      The Times enlisted the help of an expert lip reader, Jessica Rees, to determine the precise nature of the dialogue that caused Zidane to react in such a manner.

      After an exhaustive study of the match video, and with the help of an Italian translator, Rees claimed that Materazzi called Zidane “the son of a terrorist whore” before adding “so just f*** off” for good measure, supporting the natural assumption that the Frenchman must have been grievously insulted.

      so if thats what he said .. dont be a dumb F**k think about it ..

      with a red card, that was the good bye of the best soccerplayer in last 10 years.

      FIFA have changed many rules this time round
      there where lots cameras around the pitch wich can now can be used in evidence.
      It was a real shame for Zidane to go out this way,he was one of the best players in the world I am sure he will be missed.
      Materazzi should not have been taking the pi*s out of him and Zidane should not have lost his temper, I hope France will forgive him and remeber the wizard at his best.

    • Everyone has a choice...

      Temper or no temper, Zidane *chose* to do this act that got him thrown out of the game. If he had chosen not to head butt the italian player, he would still be angry at what was said, but he would still be in the game, and with him in the game France could have won it.
      What happened there was a mental challenge. A 'head game'. Zidane lost his cool and got thrown out at a crucial moment. He lost the head game and because of that, the championship.

    • Italy faces CHEATING and Dirty deals in ...

      Italy's top football teams face cheating and fixing charges back home - and many of these players that were in this world cup match belong to these cheating teams.

      I think Materazzi INTENTIONALLY said something to get to Zidane - we all know that Zidane has a temper! It's not difficult to put 2 and 2 together.

      France played better and deserved to win. Zidane should not have responded to materazzi, but what's done is done.

      Too bad that a truly undeserving team won. Italy will be known as the cheating and scandal playing team that managed to get away with bad deads till the end.

    • Zidane

      Is a gr8 player but he has tempers, a fact that shouldn't be hidden behind his genius play as he should be treated like any other player. He should have reacted differently because Materrazi was sharp and verbally, defeated the Zidane. Lets call a spade a spade, Italians won and they been wining all the way, they had the highest % of ball possession then the French. French were lucky to get to finals as in their group, struggling for two goals. Whether Italians have cheats in their country isn't an issue here, they WON the tittle. Also, Zidane was chucked the 110mins so shouldn't be an excuse for their defeat.

      They've been winning all the way? Have you watched the World Cup? They have played crap, in their easy group. Don't get me wrong, France wasn't perfect either and kind of sucked too but Italy has not been solid. In every Italian game I've seen, they get incredibly tired in the second half. Not to mention, fan or no fan, that PK in the Aussie game was bullshit. So was Zidane right? I say yes, but i dont know. But has Italy been winning all the way? Watch it again.

    • Hey dumb ass

      Italy had the best record in the world cup. Let me explain, the only game they had EVER trailed in in the entire world cup was the finals, the ONLY opposing player to score on them was zidane, they had to play germany in the semi finals (not an easy team), and yes Italy was the best team in the world cup. Also, they handt lost a game in normal time for something like 4 world cups.

      By BuffonsReflexes 1152808965
    • Haha, you're funny

      Zidane shat on you Italians and smeared it all over your faces, OK?

      "higher possession than the French." you must have only watched the first-half. France dominated all of Italy for the 2nd half, for ET, that's right, all of f-cking Italy except for Buffon. He's the only Italian who has class and the only one who deserved to win the WC.

      "lucky to get into the finals". Haha, quit spewing crap will you? Don't mind France beating Spain, Brazil, and Portugal, eh? What did Italy do, anyways. They beat an underachieving Czech team, drew a lackluster USA, and beat Ghana. Then they went on to beat Aussies on a dubious PK, beat debutants Ukraine, and needed 116 minutes to beat the hosts. Don't forget Sheva and Co. getting unlucky and hitting the woodwork 4 times.

      "whether Italians have cheats in their country isn't an issue..."
      Of course, perfectly understandable. Italians can bypass FIFA rules. Everyone else has to follow the regulations, but Italy, being Italy, can play cheap and its still not an issue. Look at Milan, Lazio, and the whole lot...they're still playing UEFA football, which is sickening. Let hardworking, fair teams from England, France, or Holland fill-in the gaps. Italy should feel the lash of cheating.

      Your comments are absolutely bullshit. Before you spew garbage, learn what football is all about because you obviously don't get it.

    • Perspective

      Not only has Zidane got a hot temper but he'd been playing nearly two hours of football, tired and frustrated would have been enough of a reason not to keep cool. I also heard the rumour that Materazzi referred to him as a terrorist. It does also seem sad that the referee was influenced by Buffon and the big TV screens as it was only after the reply occurred that the red was pulled.

      Italy play negative football but sadly it worked. They conceeded only two goals in the tournement but then when you have everyone defending the entire match it's not easy for the opposition. A rather sad day for true football.

    • God knows

      i hated the France team after they defeated Brazil. And I wanted them to lose. But the way Zidan completed his career was sad and I felt bad for him, because if he helped his team win that day he would have always been a hero and an idol to France and when he went back home he would have had a magnificent parade waiting for him and that would have been the last time we ever would have see him with that image in our head forever. But now we would remember him as the guy who lost control at such a bad time and fell to deliver victory to his team. And the Italian man who pissed him of did his part real good and got Zidan out of the game before the penalty kick. Just think about it, if Zidan was there his team mates would have been confident with him by their side and probably would have won the game. Zidan obviously a great player who had lead his team to glory and victory in1998, would be remembered as the guy who gave one and took one, hope he comes back once more and finish it the way it was meant to that is with glory and victory.

    • Zidane interview:

      He apologizes for all the children who saw his head butt but doesn't regret what he did. Materazzi said bad things about his mother and sister. Still Zidane doesn't want to attack Materazzi but he wants to defend his behavior and said that the provocative players must be punished in football.

      He also said that his head butt was less shocking that what an Italian polician said "It's great that Italy beated this team of blacks, islamists, and communists!" He also thinks that what happened was his destiny.

    • Shame on Zidane

      Zidane's nickname is the bear. Maybe it should be the Teddy Bear if he can't take a comment on the field from another pro. Still a good player but past his best - but he knew he'd be global news for that.

    • Italy are the deserved World Champions

      Italy played some of the best football the entire Cup. They only conceded one goal up until the final and that was scored by Zaccardo their own defender. They had 3 of their 4 defenders score for them, which underlies the utter class possesed by this great Italia team. This is why Taree has no idea about what makes a deserving team. Next Taree will say that England deserved to beat Portugal???????

      As far as the whole head but incident is concerned, no matter what Materazzi said, Zidane if he were a true champion, would have been able to take it on the chin and, if anything, take some revenge after 90mins when France could have been champions.

      Comments like what Materazzi said to Zidane occur in all types of sports at all levels. No one can tell me that Zidane having played in World Cup final, Euro 2000 final as well, as Champions league finals hasn't already heard it all before.

      As far as the Video is concerned. France should be so lucky that the Refs didn't look at the video for the decision on the penalty after Malouda THREW himself to the ground to get the opening goal for France.

      Ciao

    • Cheating? You surely saw another match.

      Sure. Next time, learn to lose.
      Italy won cause they scored 5 penalty kicks out of 5, while you missed one. The accident about Zidane and Materazzi didn't change the match, open your eyes.
      Materazzi can be an asshole for what he said, but if you ever played soccer, you should know players often insult or mock each other. You have to avoid reacting, that's all, but Zidane lost his mind and reacted so bad that he got a red card.
      France lost, Italy won. This won't change, so you'd better accept it.

      Sooo true!!
      France was heaping on the attacks one after the other until the incident. They were also controlling the tempo of the game. They had most of the possesion. They were just the better team that whole game until the incident. I also say that Itlay should of pushed men forward, but Itlay sat back and they were playing the PK's.

    • response to your comment

      Obviously you know nothing about soccer. Italy dominated the entire tournament beating all the teams they were not supposed to beat. France however barely made it out of their group and had to rely on the "penalty kick shootout" to get to the final. Also, Zidane scored on a bad call penalty otherwise the game would have been a 1-0 victory for the Italians. Get educated before you open your mouth my dear and don't embarass yourself. The Cup is back home where it belongs, in Italy. As the well spoken English commentator stated: "It was written in the stars..." Congratulations Azzuri! You are the best soccer team in the WORLD!!!!

      By Ass whipper 1152771449
    • Oh dear.

      Sounds like you need to be educated about "soccer". The French dominated the final against the Italians. The reason Italy won the bloody thing is because they play negative football or defensive football - like watching paint dry - and played for penalties France may have struggled out of the group stages, but then they beat both Spain as well as Brazil, something no other team could have dreamt of. They scraped through against Portugal, which is a difficult thing to do considering that they, much like the Italians, are cheaters. To be honest, the Italians played mediocre football against mediocre oppisition for most of the tournament. Sunday was a sad day for football.

      By cgr2 1152662009
    • Italy does deserve it

      Italy was the most solid team throughout the World Cup. What Zizou did was unacceptable, though the rumor has it that he did actually say "Dirty Terrorist" which is unconceivable. Then again, Italy is the best team in the world, period.

      By pepemsom 1152641939
    • AHAHAHAHAHAHA

      that is the funniest S**t i have heard on this page yet. Italy the best team in the world? It was clear, even some Italians i know have admitted it, France was playing better football. Not to mention, have we forgot Brazil? Yes Brazil did S**k this world cup but as a team I KNOW they could have beaten Italy with their eyes close. I completely agree with the above, Italy is known all over the world for cheating and not having much talent but money and dirty tricks to back it up. So Italy solid? best team? NO.

      By HousePet 1152707138
    • I agree.

      I'm Italian, Italy played a freaking great game. But france was freaking outstanding. If Zidane did not do something so stupid, MAYBE just MAYBE! they would have won.

      but I can not respond to your comment because I have no idea what you are talking about. It's either I'm tired or your comment made no sense. And I'm guessing its the latter.

      By HousePet 1152844649
    • Your are right

      You mean they play dirty and 'act' during the game? TRUE. BUT! In that case Argentina was a better team than France, they just weren't lucky, just like France. In my opinion Italy is truly the best soccer team in the world

      By pepemsom 1152662784
    • I just find it funny...

      That's exactly my point, Argentina is a better team yet they lost, just as France was the better team and they lost. But it seems like this is less about that than the fact that you think Italy is the best team in the world. I know I can probably never convince you, especially if your italian, but you are totally and completely wrong in my eyes. Italy got lucky in this world cup, they got lucky with Australia and they have had constant bouts of luck. The fact that you think Italy is better than Brazil or Argentina is hilarious. I'm not a fan of Argentina at all, but its true. It was clear, even most announcers said, I heard that an italian announcer said it also, France was playing better football. Two out of the four times Italy has won the world cup it was due to special circumstances wether it was the period going into a war or cheating allegations. I have been into football for awhile and participate in numerous discussions about all teams and more or less, if you actually pay attention to the games, not blinded by pride or go into the games with a bit of objectivity you would see Italy is NOT the best team in the world. I watched every game at least twice and I have no doubt in my mind that there were many other teams better than Italy. I'm not saying Italy S**ks , or even that they don't deserve the cup, I'm saying Italy is not the best football team in the world period.

    • undeserving team?

      the fvck? if any team is undeserving is france, who won like 4 games on bad ref calls. and would have won this one on another bad ref call if Italy wouldnt have tied it up.

      ever heard of the saying "The best offense is defence."? Thats right because in the whole world cup Italy only allowed 2 goals. One was from their own player by mistake; and yet that only gave em a tied. And the 2nd goal was today by a penalty kick on a bad ref call, also a kick zidane only made it by a few inches.

Not only are they constantly under scrutiny for cheating and dirty tricks in the internation field. Teams are investigated in their own leagues! No yellow cards? Well they've had years and years of practice at being subtle.

      By HousePet 1153137142
    • undeserving

      Did the Italians really deserve to get by the big nut Aussies with that cheap call. Don't you agree? The first PK might have been a makeup call because Zidane got taken out at the top of the box. Either way there was a clear penalty in the 2nd half for France not called

Instead you could have just admited that you were jelous and mad. Italy will not be known as the cheating team, zidane will be known as a moron and thats that. dont ever say something without having something strong and trutful to back it up.

      By lizzle 1152580025
    • you're nothing but an amateur!!!!!!!!!

      look at Italia. first they played Czech then USA then Ghana. for the 1/8 of finale Australia. 1/4 Ukraine. semi finale the only real dangerous team Germany.
      now France : Switz, Korea, Togo. 1/8 Spain. 1/4 BRAZIL the world champs. semi-finale, Portugal.
      if you compare, Italia had it easy during the tournament
      sure they are a very good team, but not as good as the French, that night, they were lucky. Italia did not pulverised France, it could have gone either way very easily. the best performance from the Italian was against Germany. Against France they knew that Zidane was the man to get rid of, just like Pele back in 1966, when the Brits broke his leg. If you can't win fairly,
      BREAK'EM i guess it must be the motto of some players who do not know the difference between professionalism and stupidity.
      Zidane is know for having lost his temper 12 times in his career which ultimately cost him a red card everytime. Is it because he is of Algerian descent, who are well known for losing their temper quicky, or simply because he is human and some insult may trigger him to lose control. Most of us have that ability. Does it excuse his gesture ? of course not. but it is understandable. If the other stupid idiot called him a terrorist, because of being Muslim, or hugely insulted his family, then he should have had received a red card as well.......
      Good bye Zizou and thank you.

      argentina- started off fantastically with 3 wins including a thumping of the serbs 6-0!! they then were unlucky facing a pumped up german team and a boisterous crowd in the quaters

      ghana- even ghana were looking hot they were even dubbed 'the brazil of africa'...... until they met the real ones

      Nothing could have been said to warrant that "low-life" behavior. Zidane had the ball easily taken from him many times in the 2nd half and overtime. It was childish of Zidane to lose it like that. It's the ugliest moment of the World Cup!

    • I see a lot of ppl agreeing on zidane's ...

      but it was that VIOLENT ACTION and that's NEVER accepted, not in football or in any sport, at least not unfearly. He knew what was coming to him, I use to like him, but not after this. that's not a example to follow. he was dumb to react to whatever insinuation. that's what the contrary team would always do, to make rivals loose their temper. Zidane fell for that stupid trick. STUPID WAY TO END A CAREER.

    • lets see

      what you do in his situation. that much pressure. some asshole hounding you the whole game. we may never know what that dickhead said to him. i would like to see you in a game like that, with all that going on, and not knock the F**k out of that guy. it was one of the higlights of the cup for me. it made me respect france a whole lot more. yeah it was wrong, but who are we to judge? walk a mile in a man's shoes is what i say. i would have done almost the same thing, except i would have punched the guy.

    • lame

      be real...every athlete, regardless of the sport, is tested mentally constantly. so to say "who knows what he said" is no excuse. you dont think zidane says the same kind of stuff to other player? please. anyway, the fact that you would respond the same way shows what kind character you have - or lack. that was a classless act - a cheap shot. and it was actually more stupid than anything...to do that in world cup championship. what an idiot. all the people supporting him...you're just bitter france did something they've always been good at - losing.

    • whatever

      you don't know me. all i can say is what i can and can't do. i played and still play soccer for 11 years now. there have been many times when players try me. usually, i can shake what they say off. but when they physically attack one of my friends, that is where i draw the line. yes, i have gotten thrown out of a game before. and no, it was not for retribution against what some player said to me, it was when they punched my friend in the back of the head when the ref wasn't looking, i kicked the F**k out of his leg. so i got thrown out. everybody has their breaking point. i never met mine when someone taunted me with words, but that doesn't mean if someone said the wrong thing to me, i wouldn't snap. who knows what that guy said to him. he may have said something really really fucked up and personal. if that is the case, then i am 100% behind zidane. and by the way, F**k france, i was glad they lost, just wish it would have been brazil or england that beat them, and not italy. but that is a whole other story.

    • ???

      If you actually thought about it before posting you would see that you are totally and completely making a full of yourself. Brainless paranoical? It is because we stand up for Zidane that we are not blameless. First, Italy is known for racism and cheating, there have been world cups and league games where teams won't send their players to Italy because of cheating and racism. Second, and most important, do you really think Zidane, although he has a bad temper, would get kicked off during the world cup at the end of his acclaimed career for asking whether it was goood weather for fishing. I know you are being sarcastic but that insult was much more than the run-of-the-mill "hey, you S**k ." Not to mention the hierarchy of things, even if it was a simple insult, Zidane is a respected international player with much more talent than Materazzi, Zidane has had how many goals in the world cup? 31. Materazzi? 2. A level of respect should be observed.

      By HousePet 1152793450

      And no coach would hire you to play because you'll get sent off too often since you have your principles and no one can talk crap at you.

I hope some Algerians pay Mattarazi and his family a visit. That just shows how low life those Italian football players are. No wonder they have football scandal going on in their country.

      a quote from the movie True Romance

      Clifford Worley: You're Sicilian, huh?
      Coccotti: Yeah, Sicilian.
      Clifford Worley: Ya know, I read a lot. Especially about things... about history. I find that S**t fascinating. Here's a fact I don't know whether you know or not. Sicilians were spawned by N****rs .
      Coccotti: Come again?
      Clifford Worley: It's a fact. Yeah. You see, Sicilians have, uh, black blood pumpin' through their hearts. Hey, if you don't believe me, you can look it up. Hundreds and hundreds of years the Moors conquered Sicily. And the Moors are N****rs .
      Coccotti: Yes...
      Clifford Worley: So you see, way back then, uh, Sicilians were like, wops from Northern Italy. Ah, they all had blonde hair and blue eyes, but, uh, well, then the Moors moved in there, and they changed the whole country. They did so much fuckin' with Sicilian women, That they changed the whole bloodline forever. That's why blonde hair and blue eyes became black hair and dark skin. You know, it's absolutely amazing to me to think that to this day, hundreds of years later, that Sicilians still carry that N****r gene. Now this...
      [Coccotti busts out laughing]
      Clifford Worley: No, I'm quoting... history. It's written. It's a fact, it's written.
      Coccotti: [Laughing] I love this guy.
      Clifford Worley: Your ancestors are N****rs . Uh-huh.
      [Starts laughing, too]
      Clifford Worley: Hey. Yeah. And, and your great great great great grandmother fucked a N****r , ho, ho, yeah, and she had a half-N****r kid... now, if that's a fact, tell me, am I lying? 'Cause you, you're part eggplant.

    • Pointless

      I think everybody knows that Zidane is a great footballer and will remember him for that rather than this incident. Materazzi clearly provoked Zidane. With Zidane's Algerian immegrant roots it's not difficult to imagine where the insult lay. What I don't understand is why Materazzi did it at this point in the game with just a few minutes left to play. I could understand an attempt to get a player sent off early in the match. But I suppose the Italians got rid of Frances best penalty taker. What a truly dirty game the Italians play. Though I did think weren't as bad as the can be. Top prize for that goes to Portugal. Very bad for the sport in general. No sportsmanship.

  • Zidane

    is a great player and i hoped that France would win. His is the best and I am sure that he would not do that without any reason. Matterazzi certainly said sth. to him to offend and upset him. You all know how Matterazzi rude and unfair is. He pulls long-haired players just to stop them.

    By facjo 1152496695
    • Source: www.cnn.com

      As Zidane sat in France's locker room at the end of extra time and beyond, Italy went on to convert all five of its penalty kicks in the shootout and took home the trophy that could have been -- and for a while seemed like it would have been -- the crowning achievement of his career. Instead, it turned out to be the nadir.

      Asked whether the French national team would miss the player who led them to a World Cup title on home soil back in 1998, Domenech didn't hesitate.

      "Yes," he replied, "but we missed him the last 20 minutes. That weighed heavily in the balance."

      Domenech went further than that, suggesting that Materazzi, not Italian playmaker Andrea Pirlo, deserved to be named man of the match. And he might have a point. Materazzi has a well-earned reputation as nasty player in Italy's tough Serie A, and his role in the ugly drama was nowhere near as surprising as Zidane's.

      He was suspended for two months in 2004 after punching an opponent and conceded earlier in the tournament, "I can't tell you how many times my kids have been told at school that I'm a monster."

      "You make mistakes in life," Materazzi added. "But then you have to purify yourself, without seeking revenge. Everyone has their destiny."

      If so, he took a good man down with him.

      Zidane did not speak with reporters afterward, but it's hard to imagine there was anything he could say that would justify what happened.

      Almost no one was surprised when boxer Mike Tyson tried to bite off Evander Holyfield's ears in the middle of a heavyweight bout. And earlier in this tournament, when hot-headed England forward Wayne Rooney got sent off for stomping on Portugese defender Roberto Carvalho's groin, it was hardly out of character.

      Players lose their cool in games all the time. They get too mad, too desperate or too determined to get revenge on the spot, and wind up doing something stupid.

      But Zidane?

      He was about control from the moment he left the tough streets of Marseilles to begin his professional career as a teenager. You only had to see his elegant touch with the ball a few times to know that. Zidane pulled the strings on every team he played for, always able to dictate tempo and the flow of play precisely because he was always in control.

      And then came that inexplicable moment this warm summer night when he lost it -- and who knows how much else in the bargain

    • wrong, wrong, wrong!!!

      wtf, everyone loses their temper all the time, including one of the all time greatest players, Ronaldo, but no Zidane. Zidane is not that stupid to head-butt Materazzi for no reason and get a red card in the most important game of his life, most important game of his career. Friggin Materazzi called Zidane a "dirty terrorist" which made Zidane lose his cool. Anyone would lose his cool if they were called that. Italians didn't deserve to win that game. They should all be crying right now because they won by cheating.

      By AFG_786 1152682513
    • He never called him a "dirty terror...

      that was not the right quote. He actually just told zidane that he hoped his family would rot in hell. Who ever heard of a muslim terrorist, certainly not materazzi (theyre islamic i think). But yea, that conversation never happened, and it was even justified on Sportcenter, so yep Zidane always looses his cool, they made a segment about it. He's gotten red cards in big games like 4 other times before this is nothing new and he let himself go. its his own fault, everyon talks S**t on the field, he just can't take it. Plus algerians wouldnt be terrorists lol.

    • Not Enough

      We all know Materazzi said something but it's not sufficient reason for such violence. Zidane has a history of explosive violence on the pitch (And off it!). he loses control and the results are very often dreadful. He has been sent off before for similar actions.
      The problem is that when you represent a COUNTRY and not just a team or yourself, there is a responsibility towards that Country to behave in a reasonable manner. I don't care what Materazzi said, he'll get his just desserts sometime. Zidane whom I think was one of the worl'd best players, has left the game not with an aura of heroism, but with an aura of violence and irresponsibility which will tarnish forever what should have been a shining image.

      By Codger 1152551037
    • EASY...

      It's real easy to judge someone from the outside, when all we have is a rule book of morale and righteousness. Do we really have all the info and evidence to dictate a verdict against Zidane? To give an example, would you keep your cool if some dikc came up to you and made offensive references about your sick/dying son? All I am saying is that we can´t pass judgement on what we don´t know. Who the fukc are we to judge anyone?? Get of ZZ´s back!

      By omard07 1152557873
    • The best thing to do...

      Is feel sorry for Zidane. What he did was not justified. You should never be justified in violence unless you are defending yourself from being seriously injured or killed. The bottom line is Zidane could have gone off on a positive note and had he stayed on the field, Italy might not be champions today. Zidane is one of the most brilliant players but he completely tainted his image on the biggest sports stage in the world and it really is a shame. For every mention of his dazzling skill and outstanding control of tempo there will always be "yeah, well what about the head butt"? The most unfortunate thing is that people who just started watching soccer recently will only know Zidane as the guy who got the red card for the head butt. Zizou, why did you do it?

    • True

      I accomplished nothing for France but I think Matterazzi and his family might get a visit from some Algerians after his insults. Being a mouth piece will always get you hurt.

      By mikey1980 1152634868
    • I know what he said

      i was watching sports new a few min ago. the reason zidane kicked his ass is coz materazzi called him a muslim terrorist. he said it trice and the 3rd time said it zidane did what any1 wudve done. ther waz no forth time cuz hiz lungs were damaged

      By Xwolf 1152535104
    • he didn't say it

      how can you say materazzi called him a terrorist? zidane hasn't spoken with anybody since he was sent out so nobody can say what materazzi said. And anyway, no matter what he said, zidane shouldn't have overreacted..and by the way, it wasn't the first time zizou behaved like that..ask the juventus fans!

      By minniep 1152544645
    • what materazzi said

      The Paris-based anti-racism advocacy group SOS-Racism issued a statement Monday quoting "several very well informed sources from the world of football" as saying Materazzi called Zidane a "dirty terrorist."
      (From MSN news)
      they said FIFA is investigating the incident, and if its true will take action against Materazzi...so he's fuked too

      By RMclub 1152561542

      that zidane told him it was a very aggresive thing he said to him on multiple occasions. that is on msn.com. go check it out. it will all come out in a few days anyway. just wait.

      concentrate and see .. they dont look like they are fighting .. and they behaved like undrude and everything was ok.. zidane wanted to do something special to become the subject of the hour .. and an active person .. look now everyone is talking about him .
      and because he seemed to fail soo he wanted to do something that he is out of the team when the team losed the game

      By john93 1152708953
    • Once again, use your logic.

      Do you really think Zidane would end his career like that? Look at the circumstances, here he is this great world renown player and his kids already get threats in school about how he is a monster and he wants the attention? Are you kidding me? That is probably the most farfetched explanation i have heard yet. Do you know the insults and trouble he is going through for this? I'm sure he wanted to do this to himself. It is clear that there is some hostility in this video, you can see as Zidane walks away at first that he is trying to control himself but loses his temper. Think about it.

      By HousePet 1152845230
    • Either way

      The F**king Italians never beat the Aussies. Nice F**king dive. Bullshit call. Then Frings who is dominating gets suspended for Germany in the game against Italy. Most unrespected World Cup title. The Italians only won 1. 82 counts. 34 and 38. Bullshit titles. Missing top teams. 2006. Corrupt Bullshit

    • I'm sick of everyone

      saying that this ruined Zidane's career. people who say that haven't even been following his career and don't know anything about soccer. it's mostly American journalists whose soccer articles are basically nothing more than summaries of stories they read on fifa.com. it was unfortunate that it ended that way, of course, but to say that it ruined his career is just absurd.

      By get over it 1152693889
    • i agree

      im not even a soccer fan by any means but i watched most of the televised world cup games and all of the final 3 of France's and one cant help but notice the presence and how calm Zidane seemed to be its surprising even to me..a person with little knowledge of soccer and didnt even know zidanes name until last month..its sad to see the probable end of his career that way and hopefully we can sympathize with his desire to win even if we disagree with his actions

      After just watching the french movie "Cache" the night before, and now this game, I have to conclude that all Algerians must slit their throats when they reach a certain age? Hrmm... who knows.

      But in all seriousness... he just lost it, complete meltdown for all to see. The greatest people are called greats because they handle the pressure. Zidane was a nobody. All he had to do was hold his cool for 10 more minutes... what a complete and utter loser. In his career he must have heard all the insults in the book... He just lost it like a child and shamed himself and his countrymen... and his team - all of which were the furthest thing in is ego consumed mind...

      By Stovepipe 1152554215
    • Zidane made one mistake

      HE should have snapped that racist pricks leg and ruined his career. If i were Materazzi i would watch my back. Algerians will not be happy. Either way. Italy never beat the Aussies. F**king dive. Dirty and divers. Italian footballers will never change

      Zidan is an idiot. No matter WHAT tht italian said, he should NEVER have attacked him. In the final game, of a WORLD CUP! that is HUGE! He ruined the whole game for his team. Face it all you France fans. He cost his team the game. They could've won the Fifa World Cup, instead they'll be remembered as the idiot team who lost because of a stupidity by a great footballer. Even though the italian should'nt have said that, Zidan was a fool to do that in the most important game of his life. The red card was definately appropriate. I applaud the ref.

      Just my opinion. Argue all you want, it's true. Don't stick up for your prescious French team. Face the facts.

  • An absolute right not to be insulted

    To all of you who believe that Zidane's head butt was justified, how correct you are. Zidane, like all of you scholars, has a right never to be insulted, offended, or verbally inconvenienced in any way, at any time. Anyone hurting his itty bitty feelings has entitled Zidane to do anything short of launching a nuclear strike on their home town. Oh yes, how terrible those words must have been, you self-absorbed dumb-a$$es.

  • Why blame the arabs??

    First of all, do not include the arabs into this because its a football game which should not involve personnal opinions or reflect views about cultures or what so ever. Second of all, if there has been something bothering you through out your life about the arabs then dont take it out here, find somewhere else because this is an entertainment program. And finally, i believe that Zidan wouldn't have taken that action unless the other player said something to him which upset him and led to that reaction.

    Put yourself in his position and think of what you have done, and dont judge without knowing what happened..

    By Pnaip Dxb 1152484727
    • You Just don't get it !!

      It does not matter what he said to him.
      Even if he said the worst thing you can imagine.
      They are just words.
      and part of the game sometimes to psych the other player or to upset him.
      Zidane's actions do need to be reprimended. They were more offensive that whatever was said to him!
      And aparently he has some arab blood line , which is a well known fact that arabs are very temperamental people. And easily provoked and angry! Look how you reacted when they mention arab !! immediatly became defensive! and angry! enough said.

      By heczy 1152554965
    • Sorry but you are wrong

      Zidane was the captain of the French team and a player of tremendous international stature and experience. It doesn't matter what Matterazzi said - this was the last minutes of extra time during the final and deciding game of the World Cup! Zizzou should not have lost his cool and head-butted him. He is a better man than that, he has heard (and said) a lot of things himself and should have had to maturity and composure to ignore it.
      Look at the consequences for him and for his team:
      - His team had to play the last 12 minutes short a man
      - His actions hurt his teammates' mood and confidence
      and his absence was disheartening
      - He wasn't there for the penalty kicks, something at which he is a master
      - This was his final game before retirement and he left in disgrace, which is
      something everyone will always remember despite all the greatness he
      showed in the past - he will never be remembered as being alongside
      the all-time greats like Pele, Chinaglia and Beckenbauer.
      The fact he is of arab heritage is totally irrelevant.

      By XS 1152487896
    • Yeah

      Absolutely, he is a captain and he betrayed his team, no mater what Materazzi said he should have remained cool and not do stupid childish stuff on his last match... I blame him for loosing the Cup... I'm sure now he bashes his head aginst some wall... better than against other players

      By Psysky 1152498343
    • zidane

      although zidane should have kept his composure, the fact of the matter is that zidane without question is in the same class as pele and maradona. how quick we forget about how maradona got thrown out of the world cup for using illegal sports enhancement drugs. did that effect on how we think as maradona as a player? truth be told if zidane does not play in the world cup france would not of even been in the quarterfinals. the fact of the matter is that zidane is argueably the greatest footballer in history! the most complete and exciting player! before we criticize lets remember that without him there would be no FRANCE!

      By zikria 1152497579
    • In the years to come, everyone will thin...

      No question, he is a great player and he was the primary reason France made it to the final but there has never been such a dramatic and a disastrous incident in the World Cup final. You are wrong about Maradona - while he is recognized as having been a great player, many people, including Argentines, today regard him as having been tarnished by cheating (the "Hand of God" goal) and using drugs. Pele, Beckenbauer and Chinaglia had unblemished records, both for the quality of their play and for the class and sportsmanship they brought to the game. There is simply no way around the fact this was a very bad way for Zidane exit the playing field today and to retire from the game

      By XS 1152498810
    • that is what i messed up

      about this. he was a great player, with a great legacy. he had a temper, but don't we all? he had to have known that the game was on the line, and his last game and all. he knew all of this. he was a seasoned proffesional, he had to have had guys try and get under his skin before. this guy really said something that was worth a head butt or something. who knows, maybe this guy fucked his wife, or something like that, and made a comment about it on the field. who knows. we may never know. or we may know tomorrow.

      Up until that point, Zizou was my favorite footballer, nOW HES MY ALL TIME FAVORTIE ATHLETE EVER. There are some things more important than winning, and standing up for yourself is one of them! {especially when you're Berber} To say that ZIdane will not be remembered as a legend is short sighted and exemplifies the view of the soft-sport fans who like to see elegance and style instead of the REAL THING - Zidane is my hero!

      You would rather not be insulted that be remembered in history as a great footballer who lifted the Cup for your country on the last match you played as a professional?

      By Kapowguy 1152503127
    • Sorry ,but you are wrong!

      No one will forget what he did! Never! an act of pure cowardness! No matter what was said to him , his action speak more than words could !!
      The whole world saw it. And to behave like that in the final game of the world cup is plain and simply moronic. No matter how good of a player you are. Look at Boxing.. Mike Tyson was one of the greatest and after what he did . biting the ear off Holyfield made everyone loose respect for him, and now he is hated by everyone. and he is a 0 to all. A lost legend that no one wants to talk about , a disgrace! I will think the same of Zidane!

  • Who to blame?

    You know....we really cna't draw much from the video.... we have no clue what Materazzi said to Zidane that pissed him off so much, but that was a nasty ass headbutt. He musta said something really racist.

    Now as for the referees watching the video on the big screen to give out a red card, that was only making up for the poor display by the refs for missing it. If they didn't call that, this may have set the standards for years to come, and players would think its ok to have streetfights behind the refs back.

    Furthermore, Materazzi and Zidane would have gotten into a nice fistfight if Zidane werent sent off. I think the refs made the right decision

    most americans dont like soccer, they are not mentally tough. Pro basketball and football players call each other s**t all the time but (with the exception of ron artest) they just take it and keep playing. A little kid will hit back when hes criticized, its takes a man to walk away. And if it bothers you that much put one in the back of the net, that will surely shut him up.

    PARIS, July 10 (Reuters) - France captain Zinedine Zidane was apparently called a "dirty terrorist" by Marco Materazzi before he head-butted the Italy defender in Sunday's World Cup final, the anti-racism group SOS Racism said on Monday.

    "According to several very well informed sources from the world of football, it would seem that the Italian player Marco Materazzi called Zinedine Zidane a 'dirty terrorist'," SOS Racism said in a statement.

He is still one of the best footballers in the world. We shouldn't let some small incident overshadow some other things he has done. I still have mad RESPECT for you Zidane. I'm not going to hate on the Italians. They played like the Italians always play DEFENCE. Trezeguet's pk was very unlucky.

    But in all seriousness... he just lost it, complete meltdown for all to see. The greatest people are called greats because they handle the pressure. Zidane was a nobody. All he had to do was hold his cool for 10 more minutes... what a complete and utter loser. In his career he must have heard all the insults in the book... He just lost it like a looser and shamed himself and his countrymen... and his team - all of which were the furthest thing in is ego consumed mind...

    I am a big fan of Zidane, and I felt sad following how things turned out, not because France lost per se, but because a great player's career ended the way it did.

  • first of all

    i think the tune is chosen very very wrong!

    now about zidane,
    to me, what he did is NOT stupid! ofcourse he shouldn't have done that because there are so many fans who were waiting for his grand au-revoir. But if you're a real zidane fan, you KNOW that zidane isn't like that, he is for real, and he'll always be! no doubt matterazi said something disrespectful to zidane, something you shouldn't say to a player of his calibre, no matter waht you should have to honor him and pay him respect. He is by far the greatest european player we have ever known. But zidane was untill the last minutes of his career that simple kid from te banlieues, he who never wil betray his background, he is real. He showed the world that nobody can insult him no matter what time it is or what game he is playing. He deserves all the respect of me. he showed us that not letting someone insult you is far more important than winning a world cup. self respect, honor, that what it is about. Thing that zidane has always felt very important. And sure he is disappointed, aren't we all. but we now he stayed real and that makes him truly the greatest

    By Svennen 1152497088
    • Think of it this way

      If someone walked up to you and said "If you dont head butt that guy over there Ill give you the world cup!" then the guy calls you a F*g what would you do? An idiot would run over and kill the guy (like zidane). A smart person would wait till he got the cup, then kill the guy (or in Zidanes case head butt him).

      By Calabrese 1152497695
  • I say bravo Zizou...

    go out with a bang, why not? I don't think he should have gotten a red card, you know the ref didn't see it happen until they played it back on the screen in the stadium... FIFA rules state that they can only card someone for a foul they witnessed. anywho, congrats to both teams for a great world cup and to germany for being a great host country. USA in 2010 !!!!!

      Are you shitting me? He head butts the guy in the chest, a little harder he could have broken the sternum! The line judge clearly saw it. Even of none of the refs saw it... just because three people don't see it, doesn't mean it never happened. Zidane is a disgrace to the game.

  • Red Card

    It was definetly a shock to all, but I guess Materazzi deserved it!! Some people here are confused with the manner Zidane recieved his red card. No video replays were used for that, it was the 4th official who saw it and pointed it out to the referee. That 4th official needs to shut his mouth! lol! I was kind of sad that Zidane ruined his last game like that, but he was really tired and pissed and Materazzi was a bitch!

    Im not a huge fan of french football either, but if there's one thing most of thwe world knows. Italian football is DIRTY and they DIVE more than kick the ball.

    No doubt Zidane was wrong for the headbutt, but he was wrong to feel angry...i remember reading that Materazzi had said "you mother and sister are whores....bla bla bla".

    So, red card...win or lose...im sure Zidane felt pretty damn good about doing it. Anyone of us would have too. There's no way in hell people would remember him for the headbutt versus all the great football moments he's provided us with these past years. But i suspect, i'll remember Materazzi for getting his asskicked LIVE in the world cup. =p

    Matarazzi deserved it. He did something very stupid and i do understand the thing zidane did. he should not have done it, but under the circumstances he did what he did. i really support Zidane because, when someone says something terrible about your family, who wouldnt' give someone a knockout? I am sure i would. And everyone says Zidane should have been the great player he is and ignore it, but that is actually imbossible in that situation, no matter who you are. Matarazzi knew what he did and then you have to count on the thing that happened. I am not saying Zidane did a good thing, and he deserved a red card for the actions he did, but we all should remember The Great Zidane.

    Other than the rare instance a Maple Leafs fan meets a Habs fan, I've never seen such personal, political, and patriotic response to a sport! sometimes i wonder if you all realize this? I mean, calling someone gay because they're Italian? C'mon.

    Also, i am intrigued to see that this only really happens in Europe. Now, I'm from Canada, and we play soccer (Football) about as well as Japan plays basketball. This being said, we lose. A lot. But we never go spewing about how gay Manchester United or Team Brazil is because they beat us! I'm not insulting anyone, i just want to know what is so very different about Europeans and Soccer (Football). Does anyone have an oppinion? (and no need to insult me for having a crappy team, eh?)

    By Llarim 1154317461
  • He Had it Comming.

    In all seriousness, if you've managed to catch the interview with Zidane on the french news channell, which has been subtitled for us non-french people, you'd know what was (allegedly) said. I can't remember word for word what he claims Materazzi said, but it was something about his mother, his sister, and a swift death to his entire family. That is such a disturbing and original insult, i find it hard to believe it is any sort of fabrication. In any event, Materazzi admits to saying some of these things, but not all, and frankly i think that was enough.

    I personally thought Zidane showed a lot of control, as he ignored the insult to begin with. Materazzi admits to taunting Zidane twice. Personally, i would have decked him the first time. I mean, c'mon, my mother?

  • chin up, zizou

    It seems like everyone has an opinion on the now famous Zidane/Materazzi bust up, so here's mine. Yes, Zidane should have been sent off, absolutely. There can be no excuse for such actions, especially in such an important game. Having said that, it takes a big man not to rise to such antagonism, if it were me I would have headbutted Materazzi in the face, not the chest. You see, I believe Materazzi DID say all those things about Zidane's family, his religion and his ethnic background. And his protestations that he doesn't even know what a terrorist is, in this day and age, are absolutely pathetic. Unless you've been walking around with your head up your arse for the last few years, then you know good and god damn well what a terrorist is. Still, if you come from a nation of liars and cheats, I guess it becomes second nature. Thank god for karma though, that serie a match-fixing scandal (another fine example of the Italian cheating culture) is just desserts for you bottom feeding wankers! Will you ever win a tournament through skill and sportsmanship, rather than deceit and diving prowess? I think not. One Zidane is worth a hundred Materazzis.

Materazzi shouldn’t have said anything to Zadane but that is no excuse for Zadane to head butt him, he’s got a temper of a grade 7 kid. Italy didn’t play that good in offence in the second half …but they came out on top!!! And buffon was telling the ref to go ask the lings guard person cause he seen it!!! And all you French people saying Italy didn’t deserve to win well just shut the F**k up, you guys lost and you have to face it, making dumb comments like that won’t do anything because you can never take this day away from us!!!

    First about Zidane, what he did cannot be excused because Materazzi said something very bad to make Zidane that furious. He did what he did and cost the game for France. But Materazzi also should be punished. Calling someone a terrorist and talking about Zidane's family. That is just uncivilzed. FIFA should do somethign with Materazzi. As for Zidane, his career will be tarnished, but people should remember Zidane for his tremendous career.

    On with the final. Italy really played terribly in this World Cup to win it. They played dirty and was lackluster in the second half most of the time. They should not have beaten Austrailia in my view because that PK was ridiculous, and also Austrailia, Germany, France outplayed them and should have won. Germany, played great football that dream of a goal by grosso in the 119th minute of the semi-final. Italy got extremely lucky. plus the entire italian team (besides buffon, i like him) are dirty players. If you have seen them in club or national games. DIRTY players. Would have been a better World Cup if Italy lost to Austrailia.

    Also, the referees looked at the jumbotron, tv whatever. Which they are clearly not to do, because they had to see it when it happened. this happened to both rooney and zidane. zidane did deserve it gthe red, but Materazzi deserved the red also for what he had said to Zidane. Could clearly see Materazzi saying something to Zidane. INJUSTICE.

    Watching soccer is like watching grass grow. I like what Zidane did because it took balls to do what he did. Everyone in soccer tries to be politically correct but its so god damn boreing that i don't understand how its so popular.

  • italy r lucky to get this far

    if some of you lot remember the match italy vs australia, italy dived on the last minute of injury time, and therefore received a penalty, so what im tryin to say is, is dat australia could've went through, but i doubt dat though, lol...still they cheated.

    nice headbutt...

    i think, zidane told him, 'i guess u want my shirt after the match.
    which materazzi replied, nah, i could get it off ur wife.

    i think dats what happened. no 100% sure though

  • materazzi's a F*g

    The FIFA orginization has done an inquiry into what Zidane did, and they had lipreaders, and other professionals, determine that materazzi had either called Zidane a terrorist, or insulted his family. Materazzi should have been red carded as well, because Zidane should have kept his cool. But after 2 hours of football, in the finals? I would have snapped. A glorious exit, and a glorious header as well! (Glorious refering to how Zidane's neck muscles can topple P***y materazzi in one go)

    This is what happens. I use to work at a bar and saw assholes like Materazzi always run their mouth and not expect anything to happen. Guess what. You deserve it. You started it. These P***ys always run their mouth because they don't expect anyone to do something. It's usually the nice quiet guy they F**k with too. Assholes like Materazzi always deserve to get knocked out. You start it. Too bad the better man finished it.

  • Zizou stil rocks!

    Even though Zidane got suspended for his action during the final vs. Italy, he is still a hero! Materazzi is the F*g who provoked him... hasn't anyone noticed how the Italians have been trying to get rid of Zidane since the game started? He was already hurt twice. And then this asshole talks S**t to him about his family and his origin... Zizou definitely had the right to snap. Someone else would've done something worse. And so what? a freakin head-butt? Materazzi probably faked his fall. I have more respect for Zizou because he does not let jerks like Materazzi insult his family and country. ZIZOU FOREVA!!!

    Materazzi deserves the Academy Award for his reaction to the "tap" he received from Zidane. If you look closely, he wasn't hurt. Zidane's stance limited the amount of impact to almost zero. Not like Materazzi's little nipple grab. Why were his hands on Zidane in the first place?

    By peteronzo 1152906419
  • Too bad

    Too bad that Zidane lost control in the last match of his career... Materazzi surely said something that made him angry, but we all know that it happens in soccer matches, nothing new here. And i think Zidane realized what he did immediately after, that's why he didn't show up later, to get his medal.
    Zidane remains one of the best players of the last ten years if you ask me, but he didn't deserve to win the best player title after this accident... Cannavaro was definitely more worthy. Besides, Cannavaro's also a champion in fair play.

    You don't know to lose...And you don't know to admit that Zidane got wrong...Doesn't matter what Materazzi said...Zidane got wrong and stop!...If this happened between Zidane and an Argentina's player it doesn't happened absolutely NOTHING, so you, french, are the real racists against italian people...When Totti spitted out to Poulsen nobody took care of what Poulsen said before...so what is happening in these day is unbelievable, FIFA is RACIST against ITALY!...Italy deserved to win, forza azzurri and sorry for my english;)

  • SHAME ZIDANE . SHUT UP LOSERS !!

    Totti was expulsed during the european championchip 2004 because he spitted on Poulsen , a player of the Denmark team . The referee didn\'t notice the facts . Only after the match , the national denmark tv showed to the UEFA the wrong behaviour of Totti . He was punished with some days of stop also if the referees didn\'t see anything on the field . The italians agreed with that decision also if nobody asked Poulsen which kind of insults he used against Totti .
    Today the french people have mounted a stupid scandal : everybody knows that in every match the players use bad words during the play but IT IS STUPID A REACTION LIKE THAT OF ZIDANE (he looked like a baby at the elementary school.) . SO FRENCH ......SHUT UP ...LOOSERSSSSS
    The french team was beated a lot of times in 100 years of footbal history .

    PS.: but the actual french team is FRANCE or SENEGAL ???

  • An article on the incident

    A few days back I read an article about the incident where people employed lip readers to interpret what the Italian player said to Zidane. They concluded that the Italian man did provoke Zidane with profanity and by wishing death on Zidane's family members. This comes at a time when Zidane's mom was seriously ill. I figure he lost it after being provoked, did something kinda stupid and apologized for it. Granted, I do think some of the jokes about it are hysterical, but that's just my warped sense of humor.

    I respect Zidane as a player, he is great, but I don't respect him as a man. He said he doesn't regret what he did because materazzi offended his family. Anyway, Materazzi lost his mother when he was a child, so he said he would never say anything bad about anybody elses' mother. Whatever Materazzi said, that's not the reaction you would expect from a role model like Zidane and he's not new to acting in such a way...anyway stop with this crap about Italy cheating, Italy won because they scored in every game, period. They may not have been superior to France or whoever but they won and that's it!

  • Italy deserved to win!

    i've read a lot of your messages and i wanna say a few thimgs.

    1. the game was all about tactics:france always attacking and italy defending.they both did a great job in the game they chose to play (thow the pk for france was a bad joke).

    2. zidane, or zuzu for his gay fans, is a f*****g faqot, not for what he did but for what he sayd about materazzi.i don't believe that materazzi called hit a terrorist, zidane just needed some excuse and he found it, zidane thought that whatever he does on the field he'll get away with it, unfortunetly for him the fourth referee saw what happend and it was actually his call.

    3. many of you say that france is a good team.if that's true what happened at the end?why didn't they win?they're the best, they should have won. was it faith!?...or was it that italy was the best team, the team that managed to hold it together, to stay calm, and to concentrate on the game?

    4. many of you say that italy is a cheater.that's probably true, and probably when they payed the referee they forgot to tell him that any eventual penalty should be for them and not against them.

    i'm not from italy or from france so basically i don't care but zidane deserved it.i've never liked him but i'll always admit that he's a great player and he has chosen
    the worst possible way to and his carrier.too bad.

    what ever you people say italy has won and for the next four years it is the World Champion.

    By gigikent 1152757202

    By ogaha 1152752340
    • actually

      The whole sotry is exactly what makes him stupid. Materazzi admits he insulted zidane, but he says he did not say anything about terrorists or his family. Matterazi insulted him, zidane went "No! Me so angry!" and attacked him. BRRRAP RED CARD OH SNAP.

      By Calabrese 1152764560
  • He doesnt care

    Although I didnt want france to win, I also didnt want Italy to win it. As for zidane, well nobody can take anything away from him, when he was at the top of his game he was probably the best player in the world. This was his last match, and I have heard the Italian player insulted Zidanes mum, and if somebody insults my mum Ill headbutt them in the face not in the chest!

    Materazzi deserved a lot worse than that. Apparantly he called Zidane a "son of a terrorist whore" so materazzi should be knocked out on the floor.

    Sir Zinedine Zidane for a cracking headbutt!!

  • Materazzi got what he deserved - to have...

    Actually, I don't see an unjust act happening here. All Zidane did was unleash yet another perfect header. This time the victim was Materazzi and not the ball. Some racist white europeans just don't get it. You can not say and do whatever to everyone. Some people will will put you on your backs for going too far. I respect Zidane more now because he stood up against the world's greatest evil (racisim), and has rejected a glorious exit in exchange for demanding respect. I'm sure Materazzi would think twice before acting unsportsman-like with Zidan again - though he likely wouldn't admit to it publicly. Say what you will about my comments, but Materazzi got what he deserved - to be knocked on his ass in front of billions of spectators and to lie down there helplessly looking up at Zidane who put him there.

    That being said. I wanted Brazil to win - Argh!

  • Mother comes first

    Zaidane proved that he not only a super football player but a super human being too.kids here is a good lesson for you.your mother is more important than the world cup, more important than a golden ball.
    italian knew really well that they can not stop zidane on the pitch so they had to these dirty tricks, i suppose winning by cheating is part of their culture.

      I do not care about either italy or france! But premeditated head butt to another players chest is plain wrong! No matter what the other said!! He should have waited 10 minutes after the game and then fight the man fair and square!

      By the way how do you know he insulted his mum?

    In Italy we all know that Materazzi isn't an angel. In Italian Championship he's famous for his bad actions.
    But this cannot make us agree with the decision of Zineidne Zidane. The violence from words? Joking!?
    If Materazzi would be in shoes of Zidane, no one would know what Zidane said.
    And then, in the final Italy not deserves to beat France, but in the Cup, we was the best

  • What Matterazzi said

    According to what Matterazzi said, Zidane told him ironically that "if he wanted his t-shirt, he could have it after the game" and looked at him in a very bad way. Matterazzi said that he did not insult ZIdane by calling him a terrorist. Matterazzi admitted he insulted Zidane by saing "i told him something you often hear on the field, i did not say anything about his mother because for me mothers are saints". When asked if he mentioned ZIdane's sister, Matterazzi has avoided the subject.

    By Deea_R 1152716629
  • Words will always hurt ! (Zidane we know...

    Romania is full of compasion for Zidane! As the ball roled to the other side of the field Zidane and Matterazzi had something "to share to one another". Many people (romanians) speak of the fact that Zidane was insulted of his sister (of being a b***h or something like that) or he was insulted of his Mom!
    Anyway ... Zidane isn't the type of man that instantly hits another person in the chest with his head for anyknown reason!
    Something was said to Zidane ...we hope of finding out what!
    Viva la France ... France shoud have won!

    i heard from a german newspaper, that matterazzi called zidane\'s sister a prostitute several times. zizou\'s reason for \"being stupid\" was the fact, that his sister was in hospital since the day before. i don't like the italian team because they often won with unfair ways. they should have stayed in their land and didn't come to the wc. zidane you are the best...

  • THE HEAD OF GOD

    According to lip-readers and italian translators, Materazzi said to Zidane in italian (since zidane played in Juventus fc) "Hold on, wait, that one's not for a ***** like you," As the player walked forward, Materazzi also said "We all know you are the son of a terrorist bitch". Then just b4 the headbutt, he was seen saying: "So just F**k off"
    he also called zidane's sister a prostitute

    Materazzi denied it: "It is absolutely not true, I did not call him or whoever a terrorist. Im ignorant. I dont even know what the word means"

  • Could you all

    Just stop to report that Materazzi said something about a terrorist Zidane? This false new was given by The Guardian tha day after the match and was retired in the afternoon, with the excuses of the newspaper.
    Now, if you have a strange intererest in helping a "religion war" using false words reported by a journal, I can undestand your posts, but if you all are only interested in having the REAL story, you could just read more and avoid comments on something you CANNOT know?
    Zidane, said to Materazzi "if you want my shirt I will give it to you at the end of the match" (the fact was that the shirt was really preciuos since was Zidane's last match).Materazzi felt bad 'cause thought that was an arrogant sentence coming from someone who feels superior and replied something like "You are doped, I've already took off the shirt from that bitch of you sister".Then Zidane's headbutt.
    FACTS:
    no words on terrorism.
    no racism.
    The 2 being stupid at the same time
    A great champion who's proved he's human
    French talking S**t about Materazzi while they don't want to see Zidane's fault.
    It's "FUNNY" to see how Zidane became a victim while Materazzi a monster, the will is to put Mate. in hell making him say words he hasn't spoken.
    Materazzi is often unfair, but you HAVE to see Zidane's fault.

    At first i was pissed at Zidane, I needed a scapegoat for Francels loss and I still think that France might have won if Zidane had stayed in the game. Nevertheless, as soon as it happened i immediately knew Materazzi said something racist and I felt like Zidane should have not only head butted him but knocked him out. I am so sick of Italian players spitting out hateful comments. I have nothing against Italy as a country, I'm actually friends with many Italians. But Italy's team has always been known for racism and talking S**t to other players. You find it everywhere but Italy has also been known to throw bananas at black players and insult other minorities. I believe Zidane to be a classy guy and for him to end his career with this, Materazzi must have really deserved it. I would rather he didnt, but as a fan of the French team i stand by him.

  • France was the better team

    Ball possession: 50/50
    Territory Possession: 63% France/37% Italy
    Shot on target: France 5/ Italy 1

    France controlled the game for at least 90 to 100 minutes. the only moment that he looked vulnerable was when they concided a goal and then had their crossbar rattled. After that, Italy was pretty average.

    Zidane was the best player on the pitch and only Cannavaro could come close. Pirlo may be a top player but how average he looked next to Zidane...

    Although those are things of football...I wonder if Italy would have survived had Vieira e Thierry not left due to injuries...

    The fact is that Zidane is now part of the Holy Trinity : Pele, Maradona e Zidane and Italy can have as many cups they want but his achievement can not be eclipsed.

    Zidane was wrong to react the way he did...but it is a thing of the past...as we discuss this subject, FIFA has already started an investigation in the matter and if FIFA decide to use BBC's professional lip reader and active collaborate with Police in the UK, Materrazi will be in serious trouble and not only from FIFA but if confirmed that he said what has been reported he will face a court case for racial abuse under the European Law...

    Materrazi's response to the incident "I never called him a terrorist...I am an ignorant I don't even know the mean of this word..." sounds very strange and rather silly.

    People are quick to say that Zidane was sent off 14 times in his career...and Materrazi? Possibly 14 times in a season...he is very well known as a very dirty player, kicking opposition from behind...I lost the number of times I watched him playing in Italy and his antics were disgraceful...

    Now to add even for fuel to the fire...the likes of Beckenbauer is coming forward to defend Zidane and suggesting that he was seriously provoked.

    Mr Materrazi, if I were you I would be very very afraid...the show continues!!

  • My point view

    That Zidane was realy stuipd in this game, he thought that he are the best one in the world and that he can win the world cup finaly game easy, but that not the true he was so bad in this game!.
    Any way I dont like him, and Italy is better, they should win, and they won.

  • He's not stupid...please read this

    ok so Zidane can't just turn around and bump someone with his head like that for no reason. He must've been INSULTED by Materazzi and these insults must have been very strong to the point that it ticked him off, resulting in his strike. Now watch it again and just try to lip-read what Materazzi tells him. A person does not strike voluntarily with no reason so he must have been provoked or better insulted very harshly in this case and reacted.

    By splinterbird 1152640854

    Marco Materazzi said that he'd fucked Zidanes sister and called him 'a son of a terrorist whore'

    By gazhff123 1152632346
  • this is from wikipedia

    Zidane was sent off for violent conduct after headbutting Italy's defender, Marco Materazzi, in the chest in the 110th minute, after arguing over something while walking down the field. The game ended in a 1-1 draw and Italy won the championship after a penalty kick shootout.

    Regarding to what the argument was about, Zidane's agent Alain Migliaccio said, "[Zidane] told me Materazzi said something very serious to him but he wouldn't tell me what."[14] Several papers have had lipreaders try to interpret what Materazzi said, although they have come up with some very different interpretations. The deaf forensic lip-reader Jessica Rees was employed to analyze the video sequences with the help of an Italian translator. Another such analysis was carried out by French lip-reader Marianne Frère. According to these reports, Materazzi spoke in Italian - a language understood by Zidane due to his time spent with Juventus F.C. - and told him: "Hold on, wait, that one's not for a feccia (i.e. 'S**t ', 'scum') like you." Zidane then reacted to Materazzi picking his shirt, and allegedly said that, if Materazzi really wanted to have his shirt, he could have it afterwards. It is unclear what he specifically said and if he told Materazzi to stop picking his shirt beforehand. Materazzi allegedly replied: "I'd rather take the shirt off your wife." As the players walked forward, he reportedly added: "We all know you are the son of a terrorist whore." Then, just before the headbutt, he is seen saying: "Vaffanculo (i.e. 'F**k off')" [15] [16] [17] [18]

    Earlier claims about Materazzi having called his opponent a "dirty terrorist" have been denied by Materazzi, who reportedly said: "It is absolutely not true, I did not call him a terrorist. I'm ignorant. I don't even know what the word means." [19] According to the Italian newspaper Gazetta dello Sport[citation needed], Materazzi recounted the incident as follows: "I held his shirt for a few seconds only, then he turned to me and talked to me, jeering. He looked at me with a huge arrogance and said: 'If you really want my shirt, I'll give it to you afterwards'. I replied with an insult, that's true." He repeatedly denied the accusation that the comment was racist in nature. He also denied insulting Zidane's mother, saying: "I certainly didn't talk about Zidane's mother" because to him "the mother is sacred". According to Materazzi, it was "the type of insults that we've heard before so many times on the pitch, and sometimes we don't even notice it". [20]

      Interesting that it was the same ref who awarded that penalty (v Australia) and informed the final ref of the head butt incident.
      That's my input into the conspiracy.

  • Italy Don't Deserve The World Cup.

    Zidane is the man. He is great. He can do better than those F**king queer italians. hey, howmuch of a F*g does Materazzi look like? i really wish i could punch that C**t Zidane shouldve not lost his temper, done his best for his team to win the world cup and have a good last game. He shouldve let what Materazzi said go and later during his own time find him and bash the S**t out of him.

    Italy don't deserve the world cup, they shouldve been eliminated long ago in the last 16. australia probably wouldve beaten them becuase they played better, if only if it wasnt that F**king penalty italy won that won the game in the last minute of extra time. those P***y italians faking that S**t penalty, that guy didn't get tripped he just fell over the australian player and dived. those P***y italians faked it, most european players do that, covering their face and crying when they get tripped. bullshit artist. if that happened to me i just get up and still play as normal until the whistle. thats good sportsmanship here in australia, not like most of you loser europeans. australia were the betetr team and probably wouldve beaten italy in that game. italy didnt even deserve to go to the quarter finals. australia did, and they probably wouldve beaten ukraine. so the semifinal most likely shouldve been australia and germany, germany most likely wouldve won and it shouldve been france vs germany in the world cup final. those loser P***y italians dont deserve the cup, it world cup should be forgotten, italy didnt win it, no one did. france or germany shouldve. let those loser italians think they did. so yeah, in conclusion, france are cool, italy are F**king gay and not deservant. zidane's awesome, materazzi S**ks . AUSTRALIA DID WELL TO GO INTO ROUND 2, SHOULDVE GONE FURTHER THOUGH.

    So now that Zidane showed us the martial art of head-butting, souldn't we start this competion where fighters are allowed to hit only with the head. I think it would be hilarious. I mean come on, i bet you in couple days people would have hard time remembering the goals of this finals but the entertainment value of the "Matador Kabyle" would forever live.

  • long live the king

    Zidane is an amazing player. He grew up in a very tough environment where you have to be respected. He is sort of a godfather. As long as you are don't cross the line with him, he is very calm and nice. Once the line is crossed, you only have your self to blame. Still, france suffered more than materazzi. A good ending would be either for france to win or for materazzi to get hurt more than the fans all over the world that love Zidane.
    Still, who are we to judge. Every one of us has his moments of weakness. This action is a sign he is human like everyone of us.

    Evn though that Materazzi must have said something wrong.. Zidane must have controlled his tempor ...he doesnt know that its his last match ? doesnt he know that there are only couple of minutes left for the game ? and im sure that Materazzi was not supposed to say anything wrong .. hes the one to blame here but why there are some comments saying that Italy did not desrve the cup ? do u ppl mean that Italy did not play well ? are u sayin that only because of Zidane Italy won ? well he played both the first half and the second half isnt that enough for a team to win ? .. i still say that Zidane is the legendary player and he will still stay in our hearts forever ... we know that when he attacked Materazzi he did it for a reason ... and we all hope that we know whats the reason..ITALY DESERVED THE CUP.. didnt u all see what CANNAVARO did ? didnt u see the goal which was actually an offside ?

He was kicked down just to eat the S**t on the ground. Those who know nothing of sport and want to take the title, S**t on you Italy, you have the shame of this tornoument for ever.

    do any of you people have a clue? there is no replay a fifa matches on big screens for one thing. secondly, the ref referred to the 4th official who saw the assault, as buffon was pointing out. and it makes no difference what materazzi said,zidane had no right to act in such a way.he may have been a great player but he will always be remembered for that foolish and unforgivable act.and if the french want to cry for him so be it,the italians will still be parading with the cup and the french can just polish their losers medals.dont be fooled thinking zidane has never acted like this before,people often forget the hero of 98 was suspended in the early stages of that tournament for similar malicious conduct but was forgiven by all for winning the trophy a month later, also brain exploding actions in champions league cost him 5 matches while playing for juve

    By The Biggy Man 1152581854
  • Explanation

    i am From the UK personally i thought zidane had a good reason for headbutting him but lets look at the facts

    wat zidane did was wrong violence is never an answer.
    matteratzi was wrong in insulting his family
    zidanewas angry and head butted him for insulting his mother

    but there is a good reason,his mum is in hospital and her condition has become worse of stress for zidane now.mattarratzi may have known it he may have not but it is never right to insult one's blood line it only causes prolem

    so in the sum up i believe zidane shouldnt have headbutted him but matterratzi(not sure how it spelt heh)shouldnt have open his mouth in the 1st place
    i believ zidane was trying to do justice to his blood line and i blame none of them
    even thoe i wanted france to win as i like it players

    also wats important is that in future both players forgive each other and matteratzi apologizes for his comment and zidane promises no more heabutts:D!

    if this would happen people in the world would take it as a example ,about half of the population would.

    the end i tried to explain things to u guys now who u support is up to u.

    Zinedine Zidane make a big mistake on that one, but.....

    Zidane should not have done that no matter how much the cheating Italian deserved it.

    If he'd watched Italy's other world cup games he should have known that Italian players have no hesitation in using any underhand tactic they think they can get away with. Elbowing the face of a USA player, taking a deliberate dive against Australia... The list goes on.

    It is a pity that such a great player has had his reputation dragged down by that disgusting thug Materazzi.

Zidane ( great player for shure ) lose control, do you think that the france player aren't rude? For shure Materazzi think in the worst think to say, i don't know if is true the story of the terroris, but guys, we are in the final play, is the war, you can say everything you think, what you cant do is give kicks and butthead, because if you do this they give to you a red card and Materazzi know that, and Toni know that.
    You say that we are the worst think in the world and use offensive words like it was the only think you can do.
    italy won the cup you like it or not, this time our soccer was the best, please acept this and we see us in four years, dont' be rude, it's a game.

However Materazzi certainly is 2blame, and in these supposed days of "sportsmanship" (kickin the ball out every time a player goes down/ throwin the ball back etc etc) he deserves castrating 4his part in this incident.... Will FIFA throw the book at him also?? i doubt it.
    This was a sad chapter in a sport that seems 2have more and more every week. And this World Cup will be remembered for being a joke - the sooner Mr Blatter is kicked of his perch the better (can anybody tell me has he even ever kicked a ball, let alone played 4a team?) Materazzi is not even worthy 2clean Zidanes' boots and I for 1 will remember the joy of Zizou - he was the BEST player of his generation

    ok i agree materazzi said some thing to Zidane and then he got mad and it wall because of materazzi. But at the begining of the game, if you watched the match, france got a penalty. that was not a penalty they showed it more than 30 times materazzi did everything in his power to avoid hitting the french stricker and he was succesfull materazzi didnt even touch him. so that goal wasnt fair anyways. when Zidane went off italy didnt do anthing they didnt score or anythin like that so italy's winnig had nothind to do with Zidane goin outta the game. when materazzi scored the goal in the first half. when he was celebrating he was thanking his god and he was crying because he knew france didnt deserve that penalty. as they old says : EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON

  • Stupid is as stupid does

    Zidane was simply stupid. He is a talented player but unfortunately a bad looser. Things were not turning out as he wished, and instead of leaving as a good sportsman and a soccer legend, he became angry and exploded on perhaps a bad pair of words by Matterazzi. These exchanges of words are extremely common but Zidane's reaction is not. Zidane's aged experience as a player goes along with his childish behaviour of not getting what he wanted (more goals for France). At his age and with his experience, he should have known that reacting the way he did would only be playing against him and against France....unless he is really stupid. Stupid is as stupid does. He probably needs to seek help for anger management.

  • Materazzis breastjob

    It looks like Mat is nippling Zizous breast at the beginning of the clip. That must hurt a lot, so I think that's why Zizou hits Mat in the chest.

  • zidane the greatest

    zidane he has always been one of my favorite player. I wanted france to win because it was his last worldcup and france has less world cup then italy. matterazzi really said something bad he has no respect. I feel soso so soooo sorry for zidane that his last game had to be like this. He didn't even got his second place medal. France was better team from the begging. I hate italy all the players I don't even want to watch them play even italian league games. Italy S**ks france is better

    Good on him, everyone hates a diving Italian. I reckon Materazzi dived that time as well!
    it can't have been unprovoked tho, you can see he's smiling, Materazzi then says something, Zidane turns around, the smile fades and *WHAM*, down like a shot. Materazzi must've said something like F off back to Algeria or something. still, great shame to end the career of the greatest Midfielder in the world

    Zidane was and still will be a great player, no matter what he did yesterday. And the one who thinks italy has 4 stars, remember that the 1st one you got it thanks to mussolini who threatened the referees, your team ,except del piero, pirlo and some other ones, is a cheating team. And it's sure Zidane did a very bad thing, but will Materazzi be punished for his F**king words ? I don't think so, but remember Italians, your teams will be in serie B or C so we know who are the cheaters in Europe, who pay the referees !

  • interesting thing

    After the Head of God pounced upon Materazzi, -thx to god- no fight emerged. And i think its because all the players knew, Zidane wont head somebody, unless the guy says something really really ugly. (now that we know what he said its even more understandable). After 100 min of running and concentrating, you can get a bit frustrated.... no one went there to hit Zidane, or anything. they all knew, something must have happend to make Zizou so angry. he is a respectable player despite this, and the other players respecting him too (except for one man...) and anyway it wasnt even his head. IT WAS GODS! :)

  • with or wihout

    trezeguet was the one who missed, even if zidane was their in the shoot out, he would hav taken the penalty instead of one of the ppl who scored anyway, so stop sayin that france lost cuz zidane got sent off, with or with out him they would hav lost anyways, sad, but yes, it is time to face the truth, france did not win, GO ITALY 4 times now

    The italian guy kept on bad mouthing him and grabbing him all game long.

    Is Zidane a marvelous player? YES.

    Was he justified to headbutt Materazzi? NO.

    Did Italy deserve the cup: YES.

    Over the whole tornament, Italy has been much better. More goals made, less taken. As simple as that.

    As for the final, even if the 2nd half has been definitely dominated by France, face it: Barthez was beaten more than once, Buffon, never.

    In adddition, as an Italian, I can't but remember the "equally" stolen Eurocup by France and '98 elimination.

    U all want to know why Zidane did that?? OK :
    1) During the ENTIRE game he was pushed and pulled and offended by Matterazzi.

    2) It's a know fact that italians are way to rude. They act like they are special, and think they deserve anything anytime.

    3) It's clear that Matterazzi offended Zidane. when Zidane din't say anything to him.

    4) Matterazzi played way to risky, and Zidane could have done the same thing BUT his a player ho DOES NOT force a player to feel fustrated, he DOES NOT play over the edge, causing risky situations to other player.

    5) He even injured his right arm , the result of the italian's way to agressive game style. And after he was almost on the point of droping the game because the arm injury, he DIDN'T became agressive to italian players , he DIDN't injure any of them.

    6) After all that ABUSE + a WOUNDED ARM + the INSULTS there is a breaking point for any human, and that was it!

    7) ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ! ! ! !

    I would have done the same thing
    I would have done the same thing, in the end that just a game , and i u get insulted by a smuch, then he deserves a head IN THE FACE. If he want to play then play DONT be an ass hoel and insult zidane, specialy when it's his last game , and he is better then Matterzzi at everything. Zidane should have deserved a yellow card, just because it's the final , and u, as a reffere , don't want to unbalance the game, but as i watch the game , it's clear that the reffere was on the italians side. Why didn't he gave the second penalty that France deserved ? Dumb ass reffere. When Zidane was out there INVENTING tricks, that reffere was still in pampers. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • oK LETS ANALIZE THIS!

      Zidane is a professional soccer player . FACT
      He knows how the game goes and that at times people get hurt and talk trash! FACT.
      There were 21 other players on the field that were also tiered and hurting, were also frustated and most likely where summited to trash talk as well BUT did not acted the way Zidane (the captain) DID! FACT.
      So why people keep giving excuses for Zidanes actions ? Especially people who were not on the field! And why are you saying that Zidane said nothing to Materazzi... where you there? I see Zidane talking to him numerous times! You know S**t ! For all we know Zidane could have very well be the one who started talking trash. He is well known for his temper through out his carrer! This is not his first incident.. did you know that?? The true fact is he acted wrongly as a person and as a professional soccer player! In front of the world and in the biggest match of all ! And got kicked out! It happend , we all saw it and that is that my friend! FACT! so no more excuses! p.s. Ronaldinho is STILL the greatest player EVER !! lol

      Benefits of a football Great [ 4 good ]
      - No one can bump you
      - No one can insult you
      - No one can steal the ball from your feet
      * If any of the above happens, you have the right to head butt or punch them upside down.

  • Who the fvck is rating ...

    Who the fvck is rating the pro-Zidane comments as bad ? Are u a stupid racist with no brain ?
    U all want to know why Zidane did that?? OK :
    1) During the ENTIRE game he was pushed and pulled and offended by Matterazzi.
    2) It's a know fact that italians are way to rude. They act like they are special, and think they deserve anything anytime.
    3) It's clear that Matterazzi offended Zidane. when Zidane din't say anything to him.
    4) Matterazzi played way to risky, and Zidane could have done the same thing BUT his a player ho DOES NOT force a player to feel fustrated, he DOES NOT play over the edge, causing risky situations to other player.
    5) He even injured his right arm , the result of the italian's way to agressive game style. And after he was almost on the point of droping the game because the arm injury, he DIDN'T became agressive to italian players , he DIDN't injure any of them.
    6) After all that ABUSE + a WOUNDED ARM + the INSULTS there is a breaking point for any human, and that was it!
    7) ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ! ! ! !

    • I AGREE

      100% with you, TO ALL ITALIAN TEAM SUPPORTERS: IF YOU EVER MEET ANY MEMBERS OF YOUR TEAM REMEMBER THAT IT IS FOOTBALL THAT THEY ARE PLAYING AND NOT WRESTLING. THERE WAS EVEN A FOUL ONLY A MINUTE AFTER THE GAME STARTED. zidane mights have been acted in a violent way IN THE END, but who wouuldnt after 80 min of being morally and physically attacked.

      By mayss 1152580141
    • everybody else

      the other players who played the entire game did not headbutt someone in the chest for all of the trash talking or taking some licks. if you have played soccer you should know this: FOULS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME! The players aren't wearing football pads, so you should expect fouls to happen! Violence is part of the game. Games have been won from fouls committed. Such as Italy and Australia. Whoope doo! France gets a goal from a foul in the box. Whoope doo! That is soccer (or football, however you say it). Live with it!

    Yesterday I was full of exitement when I turned on tv to watch the match. At first I was holding my fingers crossed for Italy. Then was convinced to cheer for France. As soon as Zidane did what he has done I was certain that France is definetely not the team that I want to cheer for. Apparently for Zidane, that's the way to say the last goodbye. It's a shame what he has done, and I hope he realizes that. No matter how good he is, and how much money does he have. This doesn't give him a right to hurt other players. Plus, he also embarrased other players in his own team. That's sad.

    Let`s not forget the fact, that we`re all only human. All the players had a long, exhausting tournament behind them and in the heat of the game it`s easy to lose control. i am not trying to make excuses for Zidane`s behaviour, but the truth is: he is and will always be remembered as a brilliant player with wonderful technique! Before you start to judge somebody, try to picture yourself in their shoes, try to picture somebody saying something offencive about your family or heritage, and then think how good YOU would`ve solved the situation. Of course Zidane could have walked away and answered the insult by winning the game, but he chose to react. It`s not the perfect way to end a career, but what`s done is done..I myself don`t blame him. He is and will forever be my idol.

    I dont support what Zidane had done, but i dont want Italy to win either. Why? Italy played so rude and cheating action to get penalty all the time. Secondly, this year WC 2006 in Germany is the worst WC ever i have seen in my life: Referees were going crazy foul foul foul , many good players that we know like DB, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, etc played so bad this year, and last guy Zidane made us dissapponted by his reaction. Everything is the history now, i think we should look forward next 4 years to see will this game be better?

  • Badd Bad ending to agreat career

    I really want to know what was said to Zidane to get him so riled up. He just got caught up in the moment and Im sure materazzi deserves that nasty head but or even worse. Zidane is one of the best ever and this ending was not a good way to go out. Hopefully we can block out this incident and just look at what he has done in his career and in this world cup. He took this team who barely made it out of the first round and took them to the final. He did something stupid and we all know that.


    Zidane should still win the Golden Ball for the best player. He deserves it.


    Them italians decieve and try to win games at any cost. Materrazzi was trying his hardest to get Zidane to retaliate and attack him. Its a tactic he used to win this game. He knew Zidane has a temper and he pushed it until he cracked. Zidane should have kept his cool but materazzi won and the Italians won the world cup.

    I don't know if you guys are aware but the Euro 2008 qualifiers start in 6 weeks, and guess who's playing eachother first.. Italy and France! Personally I would love to see Zidane come running onto the field and postpone his retirement just to go back onto the field one more time, and truly exit it with the grace that he has. I'm assuming that he has some kind of ban for a period of games ( im assuming 4). I think he shouldn't have lost his cool but it's not fair to say that he shouldn't have done what he did. I think there should be a full FIFA investigation and at the top of my list somehow withhold the trophy from italia.

      PARIS, July 10 (Reuters) - France captain Zinedine Zidane was apparently called a "dirty terrorist" by Marco Materazzi before he head-butted the Italy defender in Sunday's World Cup final, the anti-racism group SOS Racism said on Monday.

      "According to several very well informed sources from the world of football, it would seem that the Italian player Marco Materazzi called Zinedine Zidane a 'dirty terrorist'," SOS Racism said in a statement.

    Listen all, zidan is a legend and the french team S**ks without Zidan, he scored 3 times in his world cup final matches and he is a king really. but not with the Italians, he was so stupid to be trapped by Materazzi, Why would materazzi insult him? because he hates zidan? no .. to fool him.. and it was a success and Zidan was kicked out. Italy won the world cup for the fourth time now and is now one star behind Brazil. azzurri rules all .. and i think if they remain on this level they will win the next world cup in south africa 2010 inshalla i hope so

    By kalak 1152502988
  • Absolutely Shocking

    How can anyone support such a barbarian act. And by doing so Zidane handed the World Cup to the Italians. Regardless of whether Materazzi insulted him, it is not justified to head butt another player. What did he say that could have cause him to lose it? Maybe it was something like "yo moma's so fat..."

    He is not a real man for doing that. I don't care who you are, you cannot resort to violence no matter what.

    What would have been a good punishment was that France win and Zidane could not accept the cup or be in the photographs. That would have been more painful.

    By Kapowguy 1152502889
    • ...

      I have to completely disagree with you to say that he handed Italia the cup which is a simply outrageous thing to say. yes, It was a killer moment with a mere 12 minutes (i believe left) and yet the so called great italia didnt manage to score. This results in the fact that the only way Zidane hurt the team was with morale and him not taking a PK. France hit all of their PKs beautifully and short of one slight mistake they performed perfectly WITHOUT HIM. It is in my opinion that saying he handed the cup to the Italians is just not true, what is true is that Italia are divers, cheaters, and greaseballs.

      By CanuckFootballer 1152504398
    • You're just sore loser

      If Zidane did not head but the Italian, he would be on the pitch for the remaining 10 mins. He is their leader, a talisman, their General oozing with confidence.

      Being sent of the French side were demoralized. Don't deny that. Even seen an army fold when their general got shot?

      he would have taken the first PK again with absolute flair to lift the French spirits, and strike fear in the Italians. But history will note that he cost France the cup.

    Zidane is just a victim of his own greatness that a very average player will verbally physically and what ever eles he will do to get on his nerve ,I would like to have seen the spine less gippo do it when Vierra was there and see what would of happened?

    They should never have been allowed to partipate with the match fixing scandle going on and it just goes to show the lengths that they will go to to be percieved as great.You can put icing on a S**t cake but inside it is just S**t and Italian soccer is the cake.

      You got it perfectly.

      This is the world cup where the going gets tough and the tough get going.

      Unfortunately, Zidane although great, is not tough. He didn't deserve the cup anyway.

      Way to go Zidane, he should have kung fud Matterazzi's ass after he head-butted him on the chest.
      Italians are well- known for match fixing and S**t and they still win the World cup.
      Even with all the cheatings and match fixings, Buffon has proved to be one of the best goalies of all time.

    • Dumb

      If Zidane isn't French and can't play for France because of his heritage then there would only be 3 players on the field: Barthez, Sagnol and Ribery.

      The others are all Africans so they shouldn't play, right?

      Dumb comment

      "PROUD

    No Red Card would have been thrown if not for the Instant Replay. There was no diliberation between refs prior to Instant Replay. No Ref saw it..he should been in the game and france would have tied in PKs and then won in Sudden Death

    first if all if u have seen the rest of the footage (its not here btw) u would have seen him almost cried when he was going out and also he almost cried when he was talking to buffon my guess is that mattaratzzi told him something that hurt him and made him do that after all he is the great ZIzzou!!!!!!!!

      It doesnt matter what the other player said, you cant get red carded for insulting someone. Zidane should of kept his head to himself, but Im glad he didnt because he ended up handing the game to the Italians.

    By hurtle 1153122557
  • ITALY ARE WORLD CUP CHAMIONS

    There are alot of worthy comments out there about this incident, but as somebody who has played alot of soccer just like many of you have, I think the best thing to do is to literally seperate Zidane into two people: (Zidane the soccer player and Zidane the man)....as a soccer player on the ball he is one of the best players in his era along with maybe Baggio and Ronaldo. However, as a man, he has punched Enrico Chiesa, had an out and out brawl with Marcelo Desaily, stopped on the chest of a Saudi arabian man while he was down, head butted a guy on the ground in a champions league game, driven his head in to the chest of Matterazzi, and received 14 red cards over the course of his career, not to mention all the yellows that kept him out of games, like the game against Togo. What do we teach our children???....stick and stones may break my bones but WORDS will never hurt me. I dont care what Materazzi said because it is pointless if you are a true man, a true professional. Think about what the fans said during that basketball game where the players went and faught them in the stands, pure bullshit and thug like, not the mark of a professional athlete that makes enough money to have anything they want in their life. Also, ZiZu would have been better off not saying anything at all, instead in the interview he appologized to all the kids out there (and not us adults) we dont deserve an appology, and then contradicted himself and said that if he was in the same position he would do it again because if he didnt then it would mean matterazzi was right in saying what he said...so the appology is worthless and a lie. An appology means that you are sorry for your ACTIONS and you wish you could take them back, not repeat them if you had the chance. Too bad Zidane wont be playing anymore because his skill on the ball and his inventiveness with it were the only good things about his person. Now he will live on as a man that has nothing left to offer in the world, as he has demonstrated so many times when a soccer ball is not at his feet. And through all of this, we forget one very import fact: ITALY ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS. Forza les blue (les ITALIAN) PS: The golden ball should be taken away from Zidane and given to Cannavaro, a true chamion, both as a soccer player and as a man.

    By heczy 1152820852
  • Why does everybody hate Italy's team?

    - coz it won the World Cup, regardless of what you may say?

    - coz it had the best scored goals ratio?

    - coz despite its weak end of match against France, still wasn't beaten?

    - coz considering the overall tournament, it has been the most consistent team at the most important moments?

    - coz the penalty given to France was as fake as the one given against Australia?

    - coz not once has Buffon been beaten by the French? As compared to Materazzi's header that Barthez didn't even touch?

    - coz Italy rocks in all possible ways and some of you have an phenomenal inferiority complex that makes you aggressive?

    Those who think that responding with physical aggression to verbal insults is legitimate, well, are pathetic, irresponsible, childish weaklings. I pity you, honestly.

    No matter what, ITALY IS WORLD CHAMPION. 4 Stars, guys: you can whine and cry as much as you want, that's music to our ears.

  • here is

    a quote i like from True Romance :)

    Clifford Worley: You're Sicilian, huh?
    Coccotti: Yeah, Sicilian.
    Clifford Worley: Ya know, I read a lot. Especially about things... about history. I find that S**t fascinating. Here's a fact I don't know whether you know or not. Sicilians were spawned by N****rs .
    Coccotti: Come again?
    Clifford Worley: It's a fact. Yeah. You see, Sicilians have black blood pumpin' through their hearts. Hey if you don't believe me, you can look it up. Hundreds and hundreds of years ago, uh, you see, uh, the Moors conquered Sicily. And the Moors are N****rs .
    Coccotti: Yes...
    Clifford Worley: So you see, way back then, uh, Sicilians were like, uh, wops from Northern Italy. Ah, they all had blonde hair and blue eyes, but, then the Moors moved in there, and uh, they changed the whole country. They did so much fvckin' with Sicilian women, That they changed the whole bloodline forever. That's why blonde hair and blue eyes became black hair and dark skin. You know, it's absolutely amazing to me to think that to this day, hundreds of years later, that Sicilians still carry that N****r gene.
    [Coccotti busts out laughing]
    Clifford Worley: No, I'm, I'm quoting... history. It's written. It's a fact, it's written.
    Coccotti: [Laughing] I love this guy.
    Clifford Worley: Your ancestors are N****rs . Uh-huh.
    [Starts laughing, too]
    Clifford Worley: Hey. Yeah. And, and your great great great great grandmother fvcked a N****r , ho, ho, yeah, and she had a half-N****r kid... now, if that's a fact, tell me, am I lying? 'Cause you, you're part eggplant.

  • materazzi says

    Non gli ho detto nulla che riguardasse razzismo, religione e politica. Non ho parlato neppure della madre. Ho perso la mamma a 15 anni e ancora adesso mi commuovo a parlarne. Naturalmente non sapevo che la sua fosse in ospedale, le faccio i miei migliori auguri": è quanto ha detto Marco Materazzi in un'intervista rilasciata questo pomeriggio alla Gazzetta della sport. "Zidane è da sempre il mio mito, lo ammiro molto", ha aggiunto Materazzi che ha lasciato la sede di via Solferino prima che Canal Plus trasmettesse l'intervista al giocatore francese.

  • What FIFA said about Fair Play and No Ra...

    Mafia Stole the World Cup !!!!!!!!! That is the truth no matter what happen Zidane is and will always be the glorious man. The Man of this generation Media can have a bite against him. People had different views but my view is best footballer of his generation and he deserved it. If you called a great person, great player Dirty Terrorist that is wrong and FIFA should ban Materazzi for life.

    As Franz Beckenbauer quoted Something must have been said to Zidane. He is actually a reserved and inoffensive person.

    Many people praised or admired him not just compared to Platini, Maradona and Pele - but revered as some kind of modern-day sporting equivalent of India's pacifist leader Mahatma Gandhi, or US civil rights leader Martin Luther King.

    He is the man made changes the game of football with No Racism and showed how an African immigrant can make a different and represent another country. That is why France is the successful team. Other had joined to adopt African player in their Team.

    But Italy have even refuse to include one of their player Fabio Liverani who help them to go through the world cup qualifying because his Mother was Somali descent how shameful it's and at the end they haven’t included to the 30 men squad and it’s a shameful for Italy and they are the biggest racists Nation in the world and it’s obvious Materazzi abused Zidane.

    Zidane has the rights to react no matter what? Stand up your dignity and your faith prove them no one can’t take Bullsh*t?

    By Zidan4ever 1152596492
    • By your neme I can tell you are a grand ...

      I respect that. We really do not know for sure what was said by both of them. If it was a racist remark, that was very wrong by Materazzi... WRONG ! But hitting him in the chest when he was not expecting it, in front of the world , on the biggest match ever! Was DOUBLE wrong . He let his fans down, fifa , his team, and the players that been waiting for years to play the final ! And do not try to say that this is the first time Zidane has reacted violently, and that he is a passive man.. cuz his history in the field prooves otherwise!

    We all know Italy are divers and dirty players. From what I've heard. The Italian said a racial slur toward his
    Algerian ancestry or against French in general. The Italian deserved worse than he got. Zidane had his jersey pulled and legs chopped at all game. The referee was brutal. He should have red carded Canavarros cheap shot on Henry. He also missed a free kick on Zidane on the top of the box and the penalty in the 2nd half. I think it was always be a tainted victory. The F**king Italians paid the referee I bet like their own league. We all know there alot of Italian blood in Argentina. The ref was Argentine. France deserved the win. F**k the divers and dirty players. What goes around comes around. I just wish Zidane hit his face.
