Well????? Zidane said there weren't any racist remarks!!!!!!!!!!!!
So. Any comments? All those that were sure, fearful, hoping there had been racist remarks, don't you feel a little foolish?

No. Materazzi had stated he hadn't said anything about Zidane's family, so it turns out he is probably a complete liar as well as an animal.

Civilization started when men decided to insult another rather than beat at each other (not precise words but quite faithful to a sentence by Freud).

A lot of time has passed since Freud, and his is only a theory anyway.

Zidane lost it and that remains a shameful fact. He was even more false when he apologized to children instead of saying "I am completely wrong and you children should never lose control over something so impalpable as words". I've read his mother said she wants Materazzi testicles. Is that true. What do you think about that? Just words.

Goffredo, quite frankly it doesn't matter. Nobody here has said that Zidane did the right thing, but he apologised, he specifically did to children, and all you're doing is nitpicking.

As for his mother's words, good on her imho. She may well have slapped Zidane around a bit as well.

Materazzi had ample opportunity to stop. When the ref saw Materazzi on the ground he was seeing the smoke, and Zidane was the fire. But equally so, a fire needs fuel to make the flames, and that was Materazzi. He deliberately pushed Zidane too far, and this being the real world and not some ideological fantasy world, he reaped the whirlwind. Tough luck.

Since then, the world has scrutinised Materazzi and found him to be a disgraceful footballer, far worse than Zidane in my opinion, and as Stanley Kubrick once said, "The truth of a thing is often not in the think of it, but in the feel of it." Or something like that.

Materazzi is a devious, bullying, sly, sneaky, filthy player who, instead of being allowed to get away with it as he usually does, has been exposed for what he is.

Zidane did no worse than Materazzi has ever done, but at least he was up front about it.
