Zidane's mother is hill and cheat her is the bigger insult for him

"Italy defender Marco Materazzi has denied a report that he had called Zinedine Zidane a 'dirty terrorist'"
However a simply insult didn't allow him to give an headbutt.
Zidane's mother is hill and cheat her is the bigger insult for him
Who cares what Materazzi said! Regardless, Zidane is a moron for headbutting him and leaving his teammates and nation of fans out to dry.
Really? He still got the Golden Ball award. Guess his country has forgiven him. Hope he makes it to the NY RedBulls.
The excact words: Zidane! You will be coaching polish team!"
I would hit him also
It was in the media that they found out that Materazi said, something like: "Your sister is a pros ute." He said it twice. I don't know if he has a sister but a "lip reader" translated it. Don't know if it's true... I also heard the "terrorist thing" at first...
I believe they are saying more disgusting thing on the field to provoke.
That was like gatcha!

The red card was a huge kick in the teeth and image for FIFA, with 1 B people watching. Sounds like they are gonna try to find out what really happened. They won't get the truth from Materazzi.
Good article on viewership for the WC final:
This year’s viewership — tough to achieve at 2 p.m. on a Sunday — exceeded by about four million the average audience last month for the N.B.A. finals between the Miami Heat and the Dallas Mavericks. It also came close to the 17.5 million for Florida’s victory over U.C.L.A. in the N.C.A.A. men’s basketball championship game and the 17.1 million average for the Chicago White Sox’ sweep of the Houston Astros in the World Series last October.
It doesn't ing matter what the that stinky Italian told Zidane. Zidane ed up and that's that. Anyway, the french have already forgiven him so no harm done.
That Materazzi even though is a piece of himself from what I heard, is pretty smart and got into Zidane's head.
"Alavy said 84 percent of the televisions in use in Italy, and 80 percent of those being viewed in France, were watching the game Sunday."
It's not correct: in Italy 84 % on Rai, 7% on sky italia (pay tv). tot 91%. Auditel speak about 35 milion average with people on square

Racial Incidents Mar Italy’s Celebration of Cup Win
By PETER KIEFER
ROME, July 11 — Swastikas spray painted in Rome’s ancient Jewish ghetto sullied Italy’s joy after its World Cup victory on Sunday, as did racial comments made by a former government minister about the French team.
Italy’s interior minister, Giuliano Amato, said today that a number of swastikas were daubed on the walls of Rome’s Jewish quarter during the postgame festivities. “As an Italian I feel ashamed, and as interior minister I am alarmed by such things,” Mr. Amato reportedly said during a visit to Rome’s main synagogue.
And a number of Italian politicians and the French ambassador to Italy issued a strong rebuke to remarks made by Roberto Calderoli, the former minister of reform and a member of the right-wing National Alliance Party. After the Cup victory he said that the Italians had vanquished a French team that was comprised of “Negroes, communists and Moslems.” Italian soccer is no stranger to extremist politics. Italian football matches are often used as a platform for far-right fans to express racist sentiments.
There is no love lost between Italian fans and the French, especially France’s star Zinedine Zidane, who was sent off in the waning minutes of the World Cup final for head-butting the Italian defender, Marco Materazzi, apparently after being taunted. Mr. Zidane and members of his family have emerged as a favorite target of Italian insults. Some of those relatives have reportedly said they believed Mr. Materazzi had called Mr. Zidane a “terrorist,’’ a charge the Italian player has denied.
As for Mr. Calderoli, this is his latest brush with controversy. During the international crisis over the publishing of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad, Mr. Calderoli was forced to resign from his ministerial post earlier this year after making statements supporting the use of force against Muslims and wearing a T-shirt on national television with one of the cartoons emblazoned on it.
Mr. Calderoli’s television appearance precipitated attacks on the Italian embassy in Libya in which at least 11 people were killed and dozens injured.
After the climactic game Sunday, there were brief clashes between the police and bottle-throwing rowdies in Rome’s city center. On Monday, hundreds of thousands of fans joyously welcomed the arrival of their world champion team at the Circus Maximus in Rome.

French adore Zidane headbutt song
Zinedine Zidane's infamous World Cup headbutt has inspired a song that, thanks to the internet, has rocketed to the top of the French pop charts.
Just hours after the song's producers had e-mailed it to friends they got a flood of calls from the music industry and mobile phone companies.
The hit was written as a "joke... to entertain our friends," said Sebastien Lipszyc of La Plage Records in Paris.
The small studio e-mailed the song the day after France lost to Italy.
The French star, affectionately known as "Zizou" in France, was banned for three games and fined £3,260 for head-butting Italy's Marco Materazzi during the World Cup final.
Fifa also suspended Materazzi for two games and fined him £2,170 for provoking Zidane, who was playing in the last game of his career.
Overnight success
Mr Lipszyc, whose company composes advertising jingles and sound-effects, said Coup de Boule (Headbutt) was written "in half an hour" and e-mailed to about 50 friends. That evening, he and his two colleagues heard it on Skyrock, a popular French radio network
"The next day, the major players rang us," said Mr Lipszyc, quoted by the French newspaper Le Figaro.
He said Warner made the best offer to distribute the song - an advance of 45,000 euros for the clip, percentages on the sales and a guarantee that La Plage Records would retain authorship.
The hit was distributed to 20 countries and a video clip was made at the Charlety stadium in Paris.
According to Warner Music France president Thierry Chassagne, "all this took two weeks - that's unprecedented in our industry".
The African-style song has become a tube de l'été (summer hit) in France, booming out at beaches, campsites and bars.
Zidane, il l'a frappé, la Coupe, on l'a ratée (Zidane hit him, the Cup - we missed it), the song goes.
