Maybe he figured it was his last chance?

Finally, Azzuri take the WM-Cup na. Congratulation with them

For me, Germany win Portugal 3:1 that's pretty good. Farewell to KAHN, WERNZ & FIGO

Now I know why Zindane need to head butt Materazzi...
That Materazzi dude just squeeze Zindane's nipple..what a fag

Materazzi is a gay big mouth!

I'm sure that many people would be bagging about Zidane's head-butting @$@%%$^ Materazzi :rocket:, but it's obvious that Italy's Team overall by far the Dirtiest Team this year

Also the elbow that Mcbride took.

Nonetheless to top it off with the World Cup trophy :evil:

I think Italy deserves the win. Yes, Materazzi is an asshole for what he had done to Zidane, and it's sad to see Zidane ends his career in this way. But I don't think Zidane's presence would have made a difference in the end. I also think that the first penalty kick was a miss call. I'm happy that Italy wins the champion but it's sad to see the game decided by PK and Zidane deserves a nice farewell from the football fans all over the world.

I don't mind that it was decided by PK. It only goes to show how close in level both teams were.

(Considering that they had two extra periods, too.)

Technically Zidane's red card was wrong. No one of the three judges on the field didn't see the incident. The game wasn't stopped. The fourth or fifth judge saw the incident on a screen and relying on that statement the head referee gave the red card to Zidane.

However, according the FIFA rules, they can't judge these kinds of things watching video footage.

It was a nice game though, and gotta congratulate Italy for a great play.

I don't get why so many people are defending Zidane. What he did still breaks the rules, and just isn't fair play..

adidas Golden Ball winner....Zindane!
Congratulation!

Zidane just lacks experience!!!

Congratulations to Italy. Well deserved I thought. But I hope the clubs don't get off the hook because of this.

Technical terms have very little to do with whether his card was right or wrong. What he did counted as an agression, and the cameras caught it. Any judge would've passed the same judgment after seeing the incident. It would've pissed me off that Zidane kept playing after headbutting another player in the chest, knowing that the cameras captured it.

absolutely - and apparently, he was spotted by the fourth official (not the fifth official) who is allowed to inform the ref (unlike the fifth, who is only allowed to comment if asked by the ref) - so it was technically right as well as being just. still: to piss off Zidane, Materazzi must have said something truly disgusting

Today Brazil's tv-channel Globo had an expert on the program who can read lips . He said that Materazzi had called Zidane's sister prostitute and that Zidane is terrorist as he is originally from Algeria. It may have affected somehow.

In which case, the correct thing was to walk away anyway. :p

There's been conjecturing about what Materazzi said to Zidane since yesterday in here.

Haha, those gifs are the best.

I guess Zidane's headbutt is going to be in the anals of soccer history as an infamous moment.

Tuffty · « **Reply #517 on:** July 10, 2006, 07:05:54 PM »

Sources in France say it is believed Materazzi insulted Zidane's mother

Ah nothing cuts deeper or leaves a greater wound to the human soul than the old 'your momma' putdown.

I think Zidane knows very well that it's an international game, that it's his last game, what he did was wrong etc... He's been playing so long. He cannot possibly NOT know all this.

I'm not condoning his actions, but I think that irregardless of whether he's a player on the pitch, captain of the team, talisman of the French team and hence expected to be disciplined and whatever, he's still human. If Materazzi was really being an ass and really ragging on him in a really bad way, I can completely understand why Zidane reacted the way he did. Few can actually walk away from insults hailed on them by opponents without snapping, especially when they are already under the heavy scrutiny of others while bearing a lot of pressure on their shoulders to perform up to and beyond people's expectations.

But really. This is all conjecture at this point in time. Nobody really knows for sure as to what it was that Materazzi said that caused Zidane to explode and the both of them are keeping quiet about it so... *shrug* I'm just sad that because of it he missed out on the rest of the game that's all.

That said, I did find it highly amusing that Zizou chose to use his head and not his fists. XDDD
