If he did in fact say anything racially provoking he must be punished. FIFA would look beyond hypocritical with their WC motto re racism and then allow such an act to go unpunished whether he is a member of the winning WC team or not.

Did anybody ever think that Zidane may have said something to Materazzi first?
Zidane has been suspended for head-butting in the ast as well.
So I suppose it was a racist comment that set him off in the past as well.
Forget all this nonsense. It was a great game. Zidane blew his cool, and the best tema one the CUP
over.......

Hopefully nothing. If you are playing for the freaking World Cup, it doesn't matter what someone tells you! Chill out and stay in the damn game! I can't believe people are being so damned sensitive about it. Who hasn't been called a racial slur before?
Fans should not be allowed to heckle players on the field with racial slurs, but players on the field is a different story. Referees are already screwing the beautiful game up! Do we really need them to be monitoring all of this "he called me this" or "he called me that"? Grow up, be men, and keep your wits about you.
Having said that, Zidane is human, he lost his head, and he should be allowed to move on. He is undoubtedly one of the greats.
Forza Italia!!!!!!!!!!! Ciao Zisou!!!!!!

He didn't call him a terrorist. He said "I wish you and your family an ugly death. Go f#ck yourself!"
This is what an Italian lip reader said who was at the game. I have no idea how FIFA or the French can prove this unless there were witnesses who heard it.

Aside from being hated by every arab nation, he might at most get a fine. Words are words, and violence is violence. Zidane could have fought fire with fire but instead he stepped it up a notch, and it got him ejecrted. Cameras don't capture words...

a lot of muslims will be after him. he might get a suspension and probably a fine. i really hope he didnt say that though. he denied it and im hoping people were just trying to spread the racism issue this world cup.

He'll get a slap on the wrist. You can't punish him in his time of glory. And besides, he will have a hard enough time getting his rib cage transplant. FIFA should just let him alone.
