Well guys knowing that he was going out anyway for what he has done to mazerrati, If I was him I would have head butted him on his bloody face to make sure that he doesn't discusting word for the rest of his life.

Got this in Yahoo news: Zinedine Zidane has claimed repeated insults about his mother and sister spurred him to head-butt an Italian in Sunday's World Cup final. The French captain declared "I'm a man first" to explain his reaction but refused to say the exact words. A 10-man France later lost the match, and football's most coveted prize, 5-3 on penalties.

It had been reported Italian defender Marco Materazzi called the Algerian-born star the "son of a terrorist whore". The Italian admitted using insulting language but strongly denied using the word terrorist.

Zidane said: "(Materazzi) grabbed my shirt and ... I said to a stop, to stop pulling my shirt and I said to him, 'If you want, we'll change it at the end of the match'.

"He said, he said some words that were very difficult and words he repeated many times, which is sometimes more difficult to accept than just gestures.

"It was something that happens very quickly."

Zidane refused to repeat the insults but said: "The words were very serious. The things that are very personal.

"It mentioned my mother and my sister, very hard words. You hear them once, you hear them twice and the third time.

"I'm a man first and foremost. There are words I would have preferred to have received a punch than hear what I heard."

The now retired footballer apologised to children who saw the attack but said he did not regret it because "that would mean he was right to say what he said".

Zidane may still be stripped of the Golden Ball award for being voted the best player at the World Cup, ahead of Italians Fabio Cannavaro and Andrea Pirlo.

FIFA boss Sepp Blatter said a decision would be made after a probe into the incident.

Zidane's mum has meanwhile reportedly praised her son for his actions. Malika Zidane said she was "utterly disgusted" at the abuse he allegedly received.

And on the top of this, the president of the Italian parlement said that the Italian team has won against Blacks, Islamists and Communists. "For you to juge now".

well if i was earning millions and playing for my country, you could call me, my mother.. grandmother, father etc etc...
they are only words... ALL professional footballers get treated this way, because its a well known tactic for putting players off there game.
someone as experienced and ZZ should know this, and rise above it.

I'm sure that you're correct, but perhaps this is the right catalyst to start moving the game out of the sewer and back to a civilised level.

Sorry but whatever was said doesn't justify what ZZ did. This was the biggest international football match for 4 years not a game on the local rec. ZZ let himself down and let his team mates down. Anyone involved in sport has to take stuff on occasions. If everyone reacted like ZZ then there would not be many left on the pitch.

at the end of the day if someone was (aledgedlly)continually calling/insulting my mother, i'm afraid i could not honestly say that i could keep my cool no matter what the circumstances........

he may have let his team mates down but she will always be his mother

in the circumstances i applaud him

Apparently he could take the insults about his mother and sister even about being bald and old.

He snapped when the Italian suggested he was only good enough for Reading!

Sorry Rolfw - :-rofl2

ahhh bless, diddums was upset about something that was said so he decided to headbutt a player and possibly contribute to the downfall of his country.

Next he turns up at press conference with something draped around his shoulders (just popped in from a club I suppose) and apologises for his actions. Didn't look convincing to me but he wanted to maintain his cult status obviously.

Next up .... septic blatter wants to 'pull' the Italian because of what he said. Where will it end. :confused

They should just get on with it.:mad:
