sorry story wont paste...click above to read it
The Italian obviously said something serious to provoke him to such an attack therefore I think Zidane shouldn't get punished very severely for what he did after Materazzi admitted to insulting him.
What a wussy. Hasn't he ever seen The Sandlot?
"Hey look, there's your sister. She's naked. Your sister is naked in the outfield." And those were little kids.
Big baby. Nothing he experienced hasn't been experienced by every professional sportsman in every sport everywhere in the world.
The headbutt was the only thing about the world cup that I found interesting.

just because everybody does it...doesnt make it acceptable
Im with tijkmo on this one, if anyone called my mother a whore I would not walk away. Materazzi got off light, I think Zidane showed remarkable restraint by headbutting him in the chest. The normal target is your antagonizers face - he wouldn't have been such a pretty boy after that!
As he said it was a matter of honour one can only take so much. What really pissed me off with that match is that the Italians won though they were clearly the inferior team.
EXPLAIN THE HEADBUTT????
There is NO explanation or excuse for his behaviour. As Martin O'Neil said on the BBC commentary "That (insults) only happens once every 10 seconds in a football game". Zidane was a professional and disgraced himself, his country and the competition. I shudder to think how many kids (particularly French ones) repeated the behaviour in the school playground the following day. It saddened me more because i like the French and their gorgeous country. Won't stop me wanting to retire to the Canal Du Midi though.
Peace
