Hey, hey. He said it!

Zidane is a family friend of mine. I wonder what he'll have to say when I go to France in 2 weeks.

I'm so jealous...

Nah, man. If I see him, I'm going to hold my chest up and say, "Zidane! Please! Just do one for me!" It would be an honor!

Re: Zidane's Incident At The World Cup

Since both players refused to comment on the incident, there are various allegations about what led to Zidane's violent outburst. His agent, Alain Migliaccio has claimed that a "very serious" comment by Materazzi provoked the attack. Reportedly, the deaf forensic lip-reader Jessica Rees was employed to analyze the video sequences with the help of an Italian translator. According to these reports, Materazzi spoke in Italian - a language understood by Zidane due to his time spent with Juventus F.C. - and first told him: "Hold on, wait, that one's not for a nigger like you." As the players walked forward, Materazzi allegedly said: "We all know you are the son of a terrorist whore." Then, just before the headbutt, he was seen saying: "So just fuck off." According to Brazilian TV Rede Globo, a lip-reader claimed that Materazzi twice called Zidane's sister a prostitute. 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."

This isn't a 100% sure, and they believe the full truth will be revealed later this week, but I'm sure it was something along these lines. Materazzi is a bitch for saying what he did, but Zidane shouldn't have what he did. If it was a normal game, I would've done the same, maybe more. But a lot was depending on this game, and it was his last, so no matter what, he shouldn't have done anything. Materazzi ran his mouth thinking nothing could happen, but something did happen. How could you agree with someone who calls himself ignorant? France deserved the win. Materazzi deserved the hit. Zidane is still a legend. End of story.

Whatever the case was, him being a professional he should know how to control himself.

"Seem by the Americans"




By the way, here is my question -- besides curiosity, does it matter what Materrazi said? Totti was kicked out of Euro 2000 for spitting. He didn't do it out of the blue, Poulsen did do or say something to him and he lost control.
