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:
Materazzi's first word to Zidane was "no" before he then told him to "calm down".
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*** yourself".

I heard that Matterazzi told him he's a terrorist and something bad about his nationality(he's Algerian) and his mother but I think he cursed Zizou. however, In my opinion Zidane musntn't do that to a foul like materazzi

The Italian told him, "Hey, if you headbutt me right now in the chest, a billion people will ask why you did it next week on yahoo answers." That's all he said
