While those are wrong, and Materazzi made a statement that he did not say those things, it's still no reason to do that. People talk shit during athletic events all the time.

Even if those Materazzi did make those statements, by headbutting him in the chest, all that Zidane did was prove him right.

Ha and you BELIEVE Materazzi??? This is a man who claims not to know what a terrorist is. You don't insult someone all in "good fun." I know sh-t talking in sports is commonplace, but when you involve family members, you've crossed the line.

I don't think Zidane's exit lost the game. That was definitely circumstantial; you can't predict how penalty kicks will go.

Yeah, its not like Zidane would have stopped any penalty shots for France.

I didn't say it was all in good fun. I just said it's done in every sport and they should know better. I don't care what was said. If an Italian player had done that I would have been disgusted and it would have been a disgrace to our culture. Being insulted that badly, if Zidane is telling the truth, I would think would just push that player even harder to win. He doesn't deserve that award. He may have been an awesome player all these years and throughout the World Cup, but his act was disgraceful.

OH and another thing that I thought was ridiculous, petty, immature and showed VERY poor sportsmanship by the French.... the one player who received his medal and then took it off right away. You won a f*&(ing medal, be happy you made it that far! I heard of another player who also took his medal off but I don't remember who.

i pretty much agree with you that Zidane shouldn't have done what he did. Stupid bonehead move. But I don't see why you are getting on that guys case for taking his medal off right away. Who cares? Do you realize he didn't just win the world cup? That medal he "won" was a consolation prize. He just lost a hard fought battle. Excuse him if he is still a little upset. It's not like he headbutted anyone in the chest. LOL

I'd rather watch a dude who headbutts someone for being an ass than a team that flops more than Manu Ginobili on a stack of pancakes.

What the Heck?! England is in the top 5 in the FIFA rankings and Germany is #9? You've got to be kidding. I would put England at #8 and Germany in the top 7.

USA dropped to 16, which makes a whole lot of sense.

[Drolefille]

Yeah but they never should have been ranked that way. FIFA's rankings SUCK.

FIFA rankings should marry the BCS.

Very brave move by Zidane. You know, that red card really shouldn't have counted. But I'm tired of explaining to everyone that the best team won (Go Italia), and not just because they kicked Zidane out the last 10 minutes of a 120 minutes game. There wasn't really much France couldve done. They just didnt want it bad enough :-) [still got love for Zizzou thou)


(I had to watch the WC with 2 France supporters :-( )

[macallan25]

Why the hell should he have not gotten a red card? Good lord man. You have no idea how the game would have turned out if he hadn't have gotten kicked out. It was a shootout. Obviously France was a little demoralized after the red card, i'm sure that didn't help them much trying to kick PKs

No matter how you stand on Zidane, enjoy.
