That was breaking news back when this thread had only two pages.
Well considering there's only 3 pages now, it's not that breaking news is it?

That head-butt might not have been politically correct, but for Zidane to lash out like that you can safely say that Materazzi said something truly horrific.

And even that headbutt was beautifully executed, like so much of everything else that Zidane does on the field.

He's made my top 5 best footballers ever list!
On tonight's US news they said that they're having lip-readers go over the tapes to see what Materazzi said to Zidane.

It must have been pretty bad to set him off like that. I really don't care what it was word for word, but it's easy to imagine. Probably something about being bald. 😏

I think they should show the tape to a group of blind people and we'll see what they say.
"So what do you guys see?"

You do realise that you can be done for on-field assault? There have been numerous cases where players have done time for something they did on the pitch.

D
It should happen more, but I can only think of one case, Darren Ferguson, Rangers, Everton and Scotland.

Zidane will suffer enough, and I doubt Materazzi will want to press charges.

They did it in Brazil. They said that he twice called his sister a prostitute.

Most of the papers over here are saying he called him a "son of a terrorist whore" or the like.

Also, there are mentions of Zidane starting it by saying something about Maserati's dead mother.

EDIT: Not Maserati - nice cars, though - Matterazzi? Whatever.

That's why your team are the World Champions. You guys should have a parade to celebrate that kind of honourable achievement.
The only thing the Italians do well is throw insults and cook.

Corrupt politics, corrrupt football teams and corrupt people inhabit the once great nation of Ceasars and artists.

The Caesars weren't corrupt?
The Roman senate was a hive of corruption.

Oh, and Italians beep silly little moped horns really really well.

I didn't say the ceasar's weren't corrupt.
And the horn beeping is much more prolific in Egypt and India.

At least, in spite of the thousands of vineyards here, we don't grow sour grapes.

OK, maybe you're not, but I'm defending my adoptive fratelli against all-comers here.

VIVA L'ITALIA!

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I say to myself
What wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
Bright sunny days, dark sacred nights
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow are so pretty in the skies
Are also on the faces of people walking by
I see friends shaking hands saying
How do you do?
They're really saying
I love you

I see babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world

And I say to myself
What a wonderful world
