Football - July 2006

According to Wikipedia on Marco Materazzi...

"He also featured prominently in Italy's World Cup Final game against France, first causing the penalty that put France ahead, then scoring a headed equalizer from a Pirlo corner kick. Later in that game he was involved in an off-the-ball incident; he is said to have racially insulted Zinedine Zidane, to which Zidane responded by headbutting Materazzi in his chest."

Everybody here is blaming Zidane's headbutt to Materazzi on something racist that the Italian player must have told him.

As of now, nobody - not even the media - knows what really happened, or who said what. All we saw was Zidane's headbutt.

Just because Zidane's parents are Algerian, you assume that Materazzi told him something racist.

Well, that's quite a racist assumption. If you can't mentally assimilate Algerians and Muslims to everybody else in the world, then you really have a problem, folks.

Plus... I don't know what you people (especially envi_v) learn in your history classes in the USA, but Italy got over Mussolini and Fascism long ago. In fact, most of the Italian population was against him, and fought side by side with the Americans to free Italy from Fascism and Nazism. When the Americans got to Italy, half of it had already been freed by the Italian Resistance movement.

The few neo-nazis in Italy are regarded by most of us as what they are: IDIOTS.

Seriously. Am I alone on this one? These are the biggest babies the sport has to offer. Congrats to winning the Cup, but realisticly, everyone from Toni, Totti, Gattuso, Grosso, Nesta, Pirlo, cry for every little thing. Its like watching 11 Cristiano Ronaldos out there. Their acting is like no other, and they want every call to go their way. The captain Fabio Cannavaro is probably the only true footballer on there thats willing to go 1-on-1 without the B.S. Even Buffon cries for C.K. and Free Kicks.

Di u know what the Italian guy said to Zidane which made him hit back? He said something about racialism, which is very insulting! What a dirty trick, guess nobody can ignore it without fighting back! What a shame!
What u guys think about it? Is it still fair?

Do any of you fools actually think that Italy are worthy? If so, let me hear thine foolish answers about how diving and cheating, and further shaming "The Beautiful Game", prove that Italy are worthy champions. As a soccer player, I am ashamed to speak to my American & European friends about the WC b/c they see the Italians diving and whining as they do. Ever see the "Italian Training Camp Video"? If FIFA have any balls, they'll be able disadvantage Italy going forward.

Mad people don't know this fact, and this could have played an issue into what Matterrazzi might have said to Zidane which could've caused Zidane to act in the way he did.

Why do most of you like what Zidane did and say thats what he should of done when NO ONE knows what happened. you cant say what he did was good if you dont kow the reason behind it. for all you know Zidane could of said something to Matterazzi and he said something back to him and it was Zidane that started it all. no one knows.
