Whatever... In an emotional game of that maginitude, where everything is happening on a whim, it's hard to not hurt some jackass that is making racial slurs and disrespecting your mother. Maybe racial slurs don't bother you much, but to some people it is the worst offense known. If his mom means that much to him, I don't blame him. The guy's not an idiot, he just won't tolerate anybody disrespecting him or his family. In other words, he's not a little fucking pussy with no backbone. That headbutt was well deserved. Personally, I would have probably kicked him in the face or done something worse. I bet you Materazzi will think twice now before doing something like that. Zidane is the man regardless. Have you ever played organized sports before? Dude shit talking is a part of sports. Do you know how many times playing football and baseball the other teams talked shit to me? My football coach would always make it a point to tell us not to loose our heads. I don’t care what was said to Zidane he is a professional. He should have never resulted to violence. even though i dont agree with the headbutt, i cant blame the guy either. In that case... I'm not really blaming him either. If he really let Materazzi's trash talkin get to his head and his outlet was the headbutt, then by all means he did what he felt necessary. Good for him. I don't blame him for doing what he felt necessary. But I will call him a fucking idiot for not having the intelligence to realize every fucking word out of Materazzi's mouth was specifically designed to push his buttons and he's a fool for allowing the shit to get to him. A smarter person would have laughed right back in Materazzi's face at every jab and told him to try harder cuz it ain't workin and effectively pushed his buttons right back... but he didn't. I agree, headbutt didn't hurt much but imagine how much it would hurt if France won WC and Zidane just laughed at Materazzi. I bet that would hurt much more and Zidane would have gotten better satisfaction that way. Those of you who support what Zidane did, ask yourself would you rather win WC or headbutt someone? I personally would take WC any given day. And again I'm not saying France would win if Zidane didn't get red card but I think they had more chance with him on the pitch.

What Henry said is best "You can take individual out of rough neighborhood but you can't take rough neighborhood out of individual" and he was talking about Zidane. Materazzi won WC and mental battle against Zidane. Talking shit and getting into opponents head has always been and will always be a part of footbal.

People forget about WC 98 and game against Saudi Arabia when he got suspended for 2 games. I'm not hating' date=' Zidane is one of the best players that ever played football but he has always been dirty player and you should be dirty nowdays in sports, politics, club business, anything, you name it, but you also need to be smart. That was wrong, stupid move from him no matter what Materazzi said to him, he let his team down, it would have been better if he had won the WC and got back at Materazzi that way. Zidane lost his nerve for a reason, just like 99% of us would too but you have to control it, its WC finals come on it wasnt just any game, it was the game that over billion people watched, World Cup Final, if France had won it he could have call that game "game of his life" maybe and he had so many big games and instead Italy is smiling, France is crying. I'm not saying France would have won if Zidane didn't get red card but now we will never know. [/quote'] Next time Zidane should put on a helmet before headbutting him. No next time kid, he retired loosing in finals and with letting his team down. Guess what? Do some research. The whole team is supporting him. In case you didn't know, their team motto is "We die together". I'm not even a fan of French soccer, but I do respect them for sticking behind him despite the lost. Cup or not I still think Materrazzi is a little pussy. I never knew verbal abuse was considered a strategy in soccer. WTF, just play the game and shut up. You do some research, whole team forgave him but not the whole team is supporting what he did, anyway its pointless for us to argue here, it's just the matter of opinion, people think differently and that's ok. I would rather have a shot at winning a WC and getting back at opponent that way, you would rather punch him. Potato, tomato you know. Ibrahimovic waited for Mihajlovic in tunnel and puched him there.

Here is Saleen ;D ;D ;D http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6428233108896679183

Yes he did, no doubt, but he also missed one game because of the cards, he didn't do shit first 2 games lets not forget that and Cannavaro was on the money from start to the end, that's the difference plus Cannavaro's team won World Cup. I can understand voters, they were voting for Zidane because it was his last World Cup, he is going to retire etc but he didnt deserve it. He was great but there were 2-3 players who were better throughout the tournament.

I'm not hating at all, that headbutt wont erase what he did and what he accomplished and yes he was one of the best that ever played football but he didnt deserve Golden Ball this World Cup, that's all. Cannavaro was above the all and Pirlo also, Pirlo was "man of the match" in finals and semis and against Ghana.

My bad, LOL. I wanted to say this... Cannavaro, Pirlo, Buffon are the names you are looking for Level. As of Captain, if Captain acts that they, how should other react?! Henry should have spit on someone, Bartez should have kick someone in balls etc etc. Giving Zidane Golden Ball was such a great message to kids and young players, WTF were they thinking giving him Golden Ball?!

Zidane: Stop pulling on my jersey Materazzi: You are getting what you deserve Zidane: Yeah, yeah... Materazzi: All of you deserve that fucking muslims, dirty terrorist! Zidane: BUM! So thay say, french papers L'equipe.

Too bad we didn't see any of that in yesterday's game or there might be one tiny iota of sympathy for Zidane... but there isn't. He fucked up and screwed his team in the process. There is no sympathy for what Zidane did no matter what. He as a captain of the team MUST NOT do something like that, if your captain acts that way, how should others act?!?! I read that Materazzi called him a terrorist, still you can't lose your cool like that, you are a captain, legend, that's a shame.

I agree... totally sentimental call by the media. Cannavaro was more deserving for his relentless defense and cool demeanor... but that's not as exciting and controvercial a choice as Zidane... and that's what the media is all about. Yep and even Pirlo, he won "man of the match" 3 times (Ghana, Germany and finals).. Look at those tackles, Materazzi is one crazy individual, for these tackles you should go to jail http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5142970568688502787&q=Materazzi

WTF, Zidane wins Golden Ball award?! ??? . What message is Fifa trying to send to kids and young players?! What a bunch of crap

Too much for your brain? LOL j/k. If you lived off of betting and poker in last 6 months you would care about it and you would also know that England is not favorite so you wouldn't stress a lot ;D ;D.
