No doubt this world cup will be remembered for wrong reasons. Nobody knows what Materazzi told Zidane that provoked such a great player to act in such a shameful manner. But people are suspectiing that materrazi said something nasty about Zidane's mother. Some say Materazzi called Zidane "a dirty terrorist". Italian football have been long marred with racism from some players, fans and some officials. lets hope truth comes out in this case. People are expecting that Zidane will speak about this some time next week. lets hope all these mysteries will be solved soon... read http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/world_cup_2006/teams/france/5164094.stm

bidhan... if Materazzi assaulted Zidane with racist remarks or with nasty remarks on his mother, then that may be "1% of what Zidane did " to u, but to me, that would be a HUGE UNFORGIVABLE CRIME. but anyway we dont know what Materazzi said to Zidane... I simply cannot believe Zidane would head-butt materazz's chest with common abuses though. it must have been something nasty...lets see if Zidane speaks out...

rein nasty or not. when 2-3 billion people are watching you and you are representing your country.Zidan let his team down. disgraced . its simply unjustifiable whatever may be the comment. and of course nobody knows about he comment except zidane and matarrazi. zidane reaction came because matarazzi was playing magnificently . he wasnt giving zidane any chance. he was the one who scored and equalise. zidane was frustrated by italian defence.

it does not matter whether there are 2-3 billion people watching or just 2-3 people watching. Whatever Zidane did cannot be justified.. but if materazzi provoked Zidane with racist remarks or some bad slandering, that has to be investigated. i dont think Zidane reacted that way just out of frustation... that is so hard to believe

Racism among Italians and Spaniards are starting to become common in Football. And FIFA is the main culprit. They should have banned the Spanish coach for his racial slur against Thiery Henry. They should have also suspended Spanish team from international Football when they were calling monkey and throwing bananas to the black french players and to Samuel Eto. Never has there been fans except for Spaniards booing and whistling during the national anthem of another country. There are already many problems that have arisen from globalization. And players who bring racism on the football field need to be punished. Whatever Zidane did was wrong, but again like he has showed many times the great ways to score goal and win matches, he showed a great way to get a red card. No clumsy tackle or no minor brushing off, but a real head butt that would inflict pain to those who deserve.

"zidane reaction came because matarazzi was playing magnificently . he wasnt giving zidane any chance". Oye Bidhan, don't talk out of your arse. How the hell did you know where ZZ's reaction came from? From your empty brain????? Yes French kicked Italians ass. The most undeserved team to win the world cup ever.

"Guradian " suspects that Materazzi called Zidane "a terrorist" may be coz of his Algerian descent. read the follwing article from http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/matt_foot/2006/07/zidane_an_injustice_waiting_to.html Race, rage and the red card If Zidane's headbutt was in reaction to a racist taunt, what does that mean for Fifa's campaign to kick bigotry out of football? What a very sad end to the World Cup Final. We do not yet know for certain why Zinédine Zidane, the calmest, most skilful and most graceful footballer at the World Cup chose, 10 minutes from time, to take three steps up to Marco Materazzi and headbutt him in the chest. We know that seconds before, he had been laughing at the hulking centre-half, having just received a pinch in the chest. In their condemnation last night, the commentators last night, Shearer, Lineker and Hansen, showed no interest in what had caused this calm man to fly into such a rage. The Guardian today suggests that Materazzi called Zidane a "terrorist", presumably in some disgusting reference to his Algerian descent. This seems a compelling explanation for the anger of such an otherwise calm and collected player. If the account is true, Materazzi would be guilty of an offence in this country: racially aggravated disorderly conduct, on the basis of abuse of someone because of their nationality. Why should footballers put up with racist abuse or racially aggravated insults without protection? If it is crime off the pitch, why (if indeed it has happened) should Matterazi feel he can insult the best player in the world for his nationality? It is interesting to see that Shearer and his ilk can be sympathetic to Wayne Rooney, who kicked another centre-half in the gonads without any verbal provocation, but completely unsympathetic to Zidane, who may be reacting to racially aggravated abuse. Shearer actually responded to the Rooney incident by suggesting that the Manchester forward may want to stick one on his Portuguese colleague Ronaldo. If the Guardian account is true, what action will Fifa be taking against Matterazi, given its promotion throughout this World Cup of the Say No to Racism campaign?

This is not the first incident in European football history where racism has been used to provoke the opponent players. But Italians have hit rock bottom and opened a pandora's box . I wish this case is thoroughly investigated and Italians are disqualified as a world cup winner. Shame on you Italians. Check this out. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/4316079.stm

hey Bidhan bro. i think you are taking this argument to different level. Zidane is human being afterall what nonsense are you talking all this time.He shows sportsmanship in some games some not that doesn't matter now.He deserves a great respect for entertaining all the football fans for so many years. Again:what was the motto of the world cup"SAY NO TO RACISM" people who pass racist remarks do not deserve gold medals around their necks!!! Again.. most of the people who have some italians and french friends know who is more racist and abusive.So stop defending italians just like you say everyone stop supporting zidane. He is the best player of the touranament and italians are the world champs .Game over.Discussion is over!!

The Paris-based anti-racism advocacy group SOS-Racism issued a statement Monday quoting "several very well informed sources from the world of football" as saying Materazzi called Zidane a "dirty terrorist." It demanded that FIFA, soccer's world governing body, investigate and take any appropriate action. FIFA, which reviews all red cards at the World Cup, would not comment on the specifics. "This is a disciplinary matter now," FIFA spokesman Markus Siegler said. "I can't give any statements now." source:http://www.cbc.ca/cp/sports/060710/s071046.html

No wonder Zidane reacted thay way when Matarazzi called him dirty terrorist. I wished Al-Qeda would bomb Rome and Matarazzi home.

haha french supporter are lossers.they are usning matarazzi as an excuse but all knows he was real winner yesterday. he was the one who scroed goal, who constatly threatened the goal by heading, he was the one who influenced for giving red card to zidane, he scored goal in penalty. zidane or matarazzi who came out winner yesterday . and see who has the egg on the face. no team could score goal against italy properly during the play it is a proven fact in this world cup. if france cant score they dont deserve to win. italy has been winning with their defensive prodigy for years. time and again we have seen opposition dominating but still italy coming out winners. whatever matarazzi said what zidane did was most disgusting thing i have seen in football pitch. verbal abuse are common in football but zidane was clearly frustrated by italian defence more than anybody else. get a life french supporter . i have never seen bigger whinner then french supporters in sajha.

Materazzi clearly said something "very serious" to Zidane. We won't know until Zidane speaks out but we can all see how serious it could have been for Zidane in his final game and in World Cup final to head butt like that, to disgrace himself in front of millions of fan watching the game all over the world. What caused the talisman of French football to commit such act? Does this explain something : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpG4AHlZrL4&search=materazzi
