If Zidane was angry enough to headbutt Materazzi, why doesn't he come out and say what was said to him? Everyone seems to think it was some sort of slur. Or is it possible that it was so trivial it will make him look bad.

So I've read quite a few times that Zidane should be admired for standing up for his values etc etc

But I ask you have any of you been racially insulted?

Because I have and trust me I would have loved to give the several ignorant people out there who have insulted me a huge slap but you can't. You just can't.

In fact I don't think Zidane should be commended for his violence, I think that is just the wrong message and attitude. If everyone did what he did the world would be in chaos

Look at what has already happened in the name of self-rightousness and religion.

I know I'm going off on a tangent and getting off topic but seriously, if you have not been insulted racially before I don't think you are one to comment.

Zidane's red card was anything but unusual. He was sent off 14 times in his career at the club and international level.

At the 1998 World Cup, he stomped on a Saudi Arabian opponent. Sitting out a two-match ban, he came back to score two goals against Brazil in the final.

Five years ago with Juventus, he head-butted an opponent in a Champions League match against Hamburger SV after being tackled from behind.

The reaction to Sunday's outburst was mixed in France. President Jacques Chirac called Zidane "a genius of world football," and former Sports Minister Marie-George Buffet said Zidane's aggressive act was unforgivable for its effect on children watching the game.

"This morning, Zinedine, what do we tell our children, and all those for whom you were the living role model for all times?" French sports daily L'Equipe wrote.

Zidane, whose parents emigrated to France from Algeria, became a proud symbol of a multicultural France and is adored in Algeria.

In the mountains where Zidane's parents grew up, Atmanne Chelouah carried off a life-size cardboard cutout of the player at "Cafe Zizou" after the red card.

"We are very disappointed," Chelouah said. "He should have kept his cool."

But lashing out is nothing new to Zidane, who grew up playing on concrete in an impoverished immigrant neighbourhood of Marseille, where fouls and insults are met with instant retribution.

Perhaps he could never shake off that you-or-me mentality.

"You can take the man out of the rough neighbourhood, but you can't take the rough neighbourhood out of the man," striker Thierry Henry said Sunday.

At this year's World Cup, where Zidane sat out one match for getting two yellow cards in the first round, he sent a message to his teammates. In a rare television interview, he said, "We die together."

What would you do if someone told you something horrid about your mother the same day she was taken to the hospital? You ppl have to realise that Zizou is human too! Sure he's supposed to be professional and rational , but like none of you... REALITY CHECK.. he's not perfect either!
This is a report form BBC:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/world_cup_2006/5169342.stm

BBC Radio Five Live asked for help from a deaf lip reader, Jessica Rees, who read the words phonetically to an Italian translator.

She deciphered the insult as being "you're the son of a terrorist whore" - a translation also carried by many national newspapers in Britain on Tuesday.

The BBC's Ten O'Clock News also called in experts to study the television footage of the incident and determined the following:

He then accused him of being a "liar" and wished "an ugly death to you and your family" on the day the Frenchman's mother had been taken to hospital ill. This was followed by "Go f*** yourse

I mean, it was a professional headbutt!
If he ended up flying to the goal, would Zidane be able to add this one to his scoresheet?
