"It is absolutely not true, I did not call him a terrorist. I'm ignorant. I don't even know what the word means," the Italian news agency Ansa quoted Materazzi as saying after the Italian team returned to Rome.
"The whole world saw what happened on live TV," he added

Or just he has some cynical sense of humor?

A world class soccer player can't be that "ignorant".

Some think that ZiZou's actions were disgraceful, but Materazzi's actions were even more disgraceful for disrespecting Zidane's person, ethnicity and the beautiful game of soccer. I hope FIFA fines Materazzi the $330 K that Italy is giving each player for winning the Cup. Racism is unacceptable in any way, shape or form and if he doesn't know that, then he is 100% ignorant.

Materazzi is known as one of the nastiest football player in the world, and I know that he is not ignorant, I mean to make Zidane act like that!!! My God he is not a football player, he is just a **** on a football ground…

He was being sarcastic.
The whole terrorist thing was spread around by SOS Racisme, a FRENCH based group.
Zidane hasn't said a word about it yet.
I guess we'll have to wait for his own version now.

Such a lie!!!!!! He knows what he said was bad, and thus he's denying it! EVEN A RETARD KNOWS WHAT THE WORD TERRORIST MEANS. thats the most blatant lie ive ever heard. Just wait until Zidane explains exactly what was said to him.

It is a weird statement.
Let's see what Zidane has to say about what challenged him to do that.
