It seems the comments were: "I fucked your mother last night. She's an Algerian whore." - Brilliant! Just the right words to wind him up and get him sent off. And 'cos Materazzi's so tall he couldn't even butt him in the head - could only reach his chest. Ultimately, Materazzi wins.

WOW.

I read that Materazzi was a rude dude, but the videos showed it all. I also thought he got what he deserved yesterday. If it was ice hockey, he would have probably lost a few teeth as well. I read some of the french media and apparently he called Zidane a terrorist and asked him to go back and play for his real country.

Let us see this from Zidane's perspective. He has been abused all his life for his muslim / algerian roots. This is his last match, he has taken crap for 20 years+, he probably thought he has had enough.

I really wish France had won yesterday without Zidane and gifted the captain his trophy.

Ugly trophy won by ugly tactics by an ugly team. Good for statistics, but italy SUCKS. I would root for them to fail in any world cup from now on.

I agree. I really wanted france to win bad because of zidane. The italian team looked like a bunch of fratboys thrown into the finals. Hopefully my favourate team "Zee germans" will win the next one!!
