Aired on abc family here in the US, this game possibly watched by more than a billion people all over planet earth.
the FINAL
Match #64: Italy 1-1 France (Italy win 5-3 on penalties)
This is what happened:
Materazzi: 'I held his shirt for a few seconds only, then he (Zidane) turned to me and talked to me, jeering. He (Zidane) looked at me with a huge arrogance.'
Zidane: 'If you really want my shirt I'll give it to you afterwards'.
Materazzi replied with an insult, that's true.
Materazzi has not elaborated on what he did say, but one report suggested he responded with: 'I'd rather take the shirt off your wife'.
If I were Zidane, not only I would head-butt Materazzi, but also hire someone to shoot him in the head or slit his neck. Forget World Cup charm or etiquette or manner or fucking stupid people who criticize Zinedine Zidane for doing such act. But what Materazzi said to Zidane was bizarre, inappropriate, immorale and even hurt more than a simple head-butt. You need to kick him hard, Zizou!
