Materazzi was probably at him all game, Zidane is know to have a short fuse.

He retired after the World Cup, that was going to be his last game of football no matter what. He has confirmed his retirement.

There was amusing discussion on my local AM radio, revolved around how Materazzi must have learnt a selection of wind ups in French!?.

Zidane knows Italian. He played several years for an Italian team.

I sent them an Instant Message to that effect and they read it out, my 15 seconds of fame.

I guess I was most amused about the long and meaningless discussions on subjects they knew little to nothing about.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

According to some of you guys it would have been alright for him to take out a gun and shot the guy for calling him some words. :wacko:

:rolleyes: I've not read anyone say it was the right thing to do.... :huh: People react and stupidly all the time, but sometimes it's understandable where a reaction comes from.

Never said something or done something in the heat of the moment that you wouldn't normally? I'd like to meet the perfect person who can claim that. :lol:

It look like terrorist to me!

He should have waited until afterwards when they were exchanging jerseys, and clocked him with his jersey half way down!!!! ;):P:lol: j/k!!!!

MVP had me confused until I found out what it meant in American.

To be fair Zidane who was having his shirt pulled did suggest that Mazerrazi could have it AFTER the game if he wanted it so much.

Actually it would be intersting to work out who was the most valuable player, commanded the biggest current transfer fee, ZZ would be last by that definition.

Honestly, he should have waited until after the game and punched him.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

I liked this article. I agree with what the author is saying. Says Zidane would never make it in American sports if he can't hear people talk about his momma.

(Just my opinion but if Derek Jeter - biracial baseball player can hear someone call him the N word and call his white mom an N-lover and not jump in the stands to kick some azz, then Zidane could have walked away).

With Zidane, hold the ‘Yo Mama’ jokes

Temperamental star never would have made it in U.S. sports

COMMENTARY

Zinedine Zidane is lucky he doesn't play real football, NFL style.

Or basketball, NBA style.

Or baseball on a major league pitch (I mean field).

If the reasons behind the World Cup temper tantrum that got him chucked out of one of the biggest games of his life are true, then international soccer fields are tempermentally the right place for him.

If it takes for Zidane to go off like a North Korean rocket — which is to say like a dud — is for someone to insult his mother he'd have enough red cards in those other leagues to open a Red Roof Inn without having to buy roof tiles.

"Yes, it is true,'' the hot-tempered star said. "He has called mi Mamma a foul name. He has insult-TED mi mamma, mi sistah. Sacre re blu!''

Or surely Zidane's reaction was something similar after foul-mouthed Italian Marco Materazzi admitted that, "It is true! I did insult him. But I categorically did not call him a terrorist.''

Thanks goodness for that.

A Paris-based anti-racism group — that had absolutely no way of knowing what was said — had claimed Materazzi called Zidane a "dirty terrorist,'' an insult apparently to his Algerian heritage.

Turns out the insult was more personal than that. Now, as insults go "Yo Mama'' hardly ranks with what Terrell Owens might say to the valet parking guy at a Dallas restaurant — let alone to an opposing cornerback. But this is soccer after all, a more genteel sporting endeavor (never mind England's Wayne Rooney stepping purposefully on the testicles of a Portugese defender. Hey, it happens.)

As for the claim that Materazzi insulted Zidane's mother, well, on most professional fields of play in the U.S., it's more of a news bulletin if someone isn't insulting your mother. In fact, at times insults to your mother are considered terms of endearment, depending on the tone of who's delivering them. Not to mention his size.

"Dirty terrorist'' is an insult of a different nature, of course.

Call Shaq a dirty terrorist and he might slam dunk over you. Have Kobe Bryant insult Shaq's' mother and he might laugh with some heartiness. And then dunk over you.

In major league baseball you can get punched in the head for running too hard into an opposing catcher. In World Cup soccer you can be head-butted for saying 'Your Mama wears boots de combat.''

Oh, but wait a minute. There's also the matter of shirt tugging.

There's an offense worthy of being expelled from the biggest game of your life. What's a guy to do? Let just anyone grab his laundry?

"I held his shirt for a few seconds only,'' Materazzi confessed Tuesday. "Then he turned round and spoke to me, sneering.''

(Oh, good Lord no!).

"He looked me up and down, arrogantly (can you IMAGINE?) and said, 'If you really want my shirt, I'll give it to you afterwards,''' Materazzi continued.

Then the Italian admitted he responded verbally with, "One of those insults you're told tens of times and that always fly around the pitch.''

Something like suggesting "Yo Momma engages in acts prohibited by law in most states?'' What's a man to do after such an insult? Play on?

How does one come to grips with the actions of the great Zidane then, whose response to this verbal cannonade was to commit the soccer version of Mike Tyson biting off Evander Holyfield's ear?

How do we explain how a sport whose advocates love to call it "the beautiful game'' turned into ultimate fighting only hours after the new York Times had called Zidane "a master of unparalled grace?''

Easy. Forget trying to put it in the context of T.O. losing his mind and dogging Donovan McNabb. Stop trying to look at it in comparison to Kermit Washington knocking the face off of Rudy Tomjanovich.

As insults go, don't try to compare it to any of Ozzie Guillen's top 100 tirades, because "I do not like your Mama'' pales in comparison to a Gullien insult on his least profane day.

Consider it this way instead: His decision to head-butt Materazzi was the difference between Sonny Corleone and Michael Corleone.

Sonny would have gone with the head-butt. Michael, on the other hand, would have just dropped off a horse head in his bed in a few weeks. But commit a sporting crime with a stadium full of witnesses who could finger him standing right there? No way, Francois.
