I kinda think the mother comments were far worse than the general trash talk about him being old and needing to go into minor leagues.

It was a classic case of a big mouth that thought he was bad ,getting knocked flat on his ass.Oh...Poor baby's ass got hurt and maybe the wind knocked out of him...oh boo hoo mean old Zidane.If I were Zidane I would have Pummeled him to a bloody corpse,then ate his heart.
Originally posted by Derfel CadarnWhere did you find these quotes? What's the evidence that Materazzi these racist things? Materazzi admits insulting Zidane-- but he denies saying anything about Muslim or terrorism. Zidane (as far as I know) has not said that Materazzi made racist remarks. Various lipreaders have interpreted the comments various ways, but I have yet to see this exact version.
What was said to Zidane... This is a disgrace - FIFA need to actually do something for a change. You can't have players making slurs like that against a fellow pro.
From Soccernet; Since Sunday evening the whole World has been debating what Italian defender Marco Materazzi said to Zinedine Zidane to make the retiring Frenchman react in the way he did. h for Man City now" It's at this very point Zidane turned and head-butted him.
So what's your source, Derfel? I certainly hope you have something pretty authoritative before making accusations of racism and treating them as matters of fact.
Let's see the source, now.
