Why can't you people just admit that what he did in World cup 2006 wasn't because of what Materazzi said?
Players always trash talk on the field.
Zidane has occasionally shown a quick temper on the pitch. Besides his controversial offence in the 2006 World Cup final, he received a red card and a two-game suspension for stomping on Saudi Arabia's team captain Fuad Amin in the 1998 World Cup – allegedly in response to an insult – and headbutted Jochen Kientz in a 2000/2001 Champions League match between Juventus and Hamburger SV, for which he was also sent off. Overall, he was sent off 14 times in his career which is considered quite low for a player as exposed as he.He is one of four players that have been sent off in a World Cup final, one of two players that have been sent off during two different World Cup tournaments (the other player being Cameroon's Rigobert Song) and the only player ever to be sent off during extra time of a World Cup final.

not only has he used his headbutt before.....he used it while he was playing with Juve and broke the guy's jaw!!!! i have pictures to prove it....either way if he was a true sportsman he would never have lost his temper the way he did. i grew up in the soccer world and believe me worse things are said!

i agree with you totally, and zidane had no right to do what he did know matter what materazzi said. Football is about exposing your talent not how hard you can head somebody in the chest
@ #1 chelsea fan: if you said that to me i sure wouldnt head-butt you, or hit you in any way for that matter - i would take the world cup and shove it in your face... and if saying trash-talk is unecceptable then what do you call head-butting, an act of total forgiveness.. i dont think so

I know it wasn't the first, but the whole incident was triggered by what Materazzi said, nonetheless. Just because Zidane has done this stuff before, it doesn't mean that Materazzi isn't also to blame.

Like I said, there have been incidents when Zidane has lost his temper and there have also been incidents where footballers
trash-talked. But insulting one's mother or sister is totally inacceptable.
So that means that you're justifying Materazzi.
Fine, one morning I come upto you and call you sister a lesbian slu't. What would you do? Hug me and say that I'm the greatest?
Zidane's action was uncalled for but I think I'll excuse him on account of what that jerk Materazzi said to him....plus he apologised. It's now over. Don't try to bring it up all over again and get people fighting all over the place

well... it was just a spur of a moment thing... maybe he shouldn't have done it... but he wasn't TOO wrong in what he did... he had high hopes on his shoulder but anger can make you lose your composure... that's what happened... i give 99% to materazzi...!!! and yeah... i'm not french!!!
