Does anyone know what the Italian player said to Zidane to cause him to headbutt (or rhino charge if you prefer) that Italian player??

Apparently Materazzi WAS speaking in Italian, which Zidane understands from his years playing for Juventus, as any soccer fan would know.
Nobody knows for sure, but the 2 big theories are 1.) something racial about Zidane's Algerian background, or 2.) something equally insulting about Zidane's ailing mother
Just a sidenote - Italy still would've won....they had held France that far, and even if Zidane would've been involved in the penalty kicks, so would've TREZEGUET....WHO MISSED!
Result then? 5-4 on kicks, in favor of FORZA AZZURRI :)

Apparently Zidanes mother is ill and was taken to hospital that morning. Then the Italian called Zidane's mother a prostitute. Zidane then butted the Italian

Matterazi's header scored in the game but Zidane's did not.
Zidane just wanted to prove he had a better header !

It is said that the italian made a racial slur.I'm not french nor am i italian but i will say this.It's to bad Zidane didn't knock him harder.The only thing that makes this all better is knowing that those italians didn't win because they're better,they only won on penalties.Of course they won't say that.

yah i culdnt be more agree.. if they are exchanging words in their own language [the lipreaders are translating M's words from italian] why culd zidane be angry over that? is he an expert in italian or else? i dun think zidane understands his words.. the whole thing abt the lipreaders are likely lies.. u see, the sun [the news paper who issues the lipreading stuff] has been commonly known as the thrash talking newspaper in this era, see what they do to ronaldo's picture blinking on rooney's sending off ^^

Current opionion by most lip readers suggests Materazzi said "your the sone of a terrorist whore" - and Zidane's mum was taken ill to hospital the afternoon of the final too so it was a very cruel comment

Aparently matterazzi had a hair ball in his throat from licking zidanes scalp,hence the lack of barnet coverage & asked zidane to perform the arms around the chest & pull manouver to remove it,so to stop himself from coming across as an *** bandit on tv standing behind him & thrusting he opted for the manly way & headbutted his chest to clear his airways,what a kind considerate bloke he is.the ref took it the wrong way!

Zidane should step up and let the whole wide world know what exactly that Materazzi called him... i believe it was really insulting and hurting to zidane...
