Zidane's Head Butt In World Cup 2006 Final

Zidane's Head Butt, What Do You Say?

Even though, it has not come to light what actually Materazzi mutered to have provoked Zidane to give that head butt, what do you think of the whole Saga? Was he justfied?

Zidane really messed up for what he did, big time as in he is a respected player this was his last match for club/country and the WC finals. When u loose your star man that hope of winning just drops in u

His legacy still leaves on no matter what? those Azzuris had plotted such and it worked very well for them.

Just to take a wild guess, for Zidane to react like that, the Italian must have called him an AlQaeda or something. Afterall, Zidane is an arab. Just guessing, but would like to know what was said to provoke him like that.

it was very unprofessional for a player like zidane.

Well, WC 2006 is over but I am sure that what will be on everyone's mind for at least this week is not that Italy won but why Zidane would do such a shameless thing, being the captain in particular, as head-butt an opponent on what could have been the best day of his career.

So I also have been scouring google for the reason and it turns out I am not alone.  Here is a link to what someone claims was said.  Of course, take with a pinch of salt.  I could have pasted it here but I think tis best to c it in its entirety.  You will hv to scroll to the bottom somewhat b4 u find what was said: http://mondoweiss.observer.com/2006/07/the-only-question-what-did-materazzi-say-to-zidane.html

Enjoy!! If u find/hear anything different, do let us know 

even what he did was wrong but on the news its more about him that Italy winning the cup, 

Materazzi denies Zidane jibe!


Italy defender Marco Materazzi has strenuously denied reports that he called Zinedine Zidane a 'dirty terrorist'.

The 32-year-old was responding to suggestions made by the Paris-based anti-racism group SOS Racism that he apparently used the phrase seconds before the France captain head-butted Materazzi in the chest in extra time.

Zidane was sent off as a result of his actions before the Azzurri went on to defeat Les Bleus 5-3 on penalties after a 1-1 extra-time draw in Sunday's World Cup final in Berlin.

SOS Racism claim well informed sources told them of what Materazzi allegedly said to the now-retired Zidane, but the Internazionale player denies making any such statement to the former Real Madrid man.

"It is absolutely not true, I did not call him a terrorist," Materazzi told Italian news agency Ansa.

"I'm ignorant. I don't even know what the word means.

"The whole world saw what happened on live TV."

There is a thin line between  Genius and madness.

Zidane certainly crossed the line yesterday.

What a shame and a big minus on a glorious career.
