Why people speaks without knowing what's real happened? Materazzi haven't said terrorist...algerian...or other thing that people hope that he said! This is the the real racism, versus ITALY! In these days many have said most ugly things to the Italians! I'm tired! If Materazzi it had given the head to Zidane, it would have been spoken about provocation? about racism? NO you would have only spoken about the bad Italian man!!! They have discussed, Materazzi has said something to his sister (not a good thing but I think that it happen often during a match) but zidane instead answering or ignore it, has reacted with his head. It has mistaken, nothing excuses. I'm Italian and I'm not racist as all italian people! I'm also WORLD CHAMPION!!! Bye FOR PEOPLE TAHT SPEAKS ABOUT ITALIAN RACISM!!

France out-fouled Italy 24-17! France got 3 cautions vs Italy's 1! What match were you guys watching? Italy should have won 1-0 but the ref gave France an unmerited penalty kick. I'm sure Zidane is an inoocent little lamb who never trash talked, never got a yellow or a red card and never got kicked out of a match! What the hell does it matter what Materazzi said? So, if Zidane had a gun in his hand, he had the right to shoot him? What twisted logic? This is prima facie whining by a bunch of very poor losers. It's too bad all this whining is taking away from a great Italian victory by a team with an impenetrable defense. Forza Italia! What a bunch os French Whiners! France out-fouled Italy 24-17!

He is known for playing filthy football and I wouldn't put it past him to have a filthy, racist mouth as well. Not that it justifies what Zidane did, but still, the theme of this World Cup was say no to racism for pete's sake. But I'll watch the Zidane interview before I roll out the final judgement.

I believe he did what he have done on July 9th for a reason. And he is professional enough to keep everything for himself. That shows he is a good character. This is the first and probably last game I saw Zidane play, but it's the best game because he is the best player, a star from the soccer legend. I admired him and I think he does deserved the golden ball! I do agree I don’t know much about sport, but by the movement of Zidane, I can tell that he is a good soccer player.

Totti was kicked out of the tournament, and yes, he was provoked and terrible things were said to him... Yet, only Totti suffered... How come it's only an outrage when it's Zidane? Do you seriously think Rooney wasnt provoked also? etc. You know, in 2004, nobody asked Totti what the Danish player said to him when Totti spat on him.

I am not a cultured person and I don't even know what as Islamist terrorist is." http://www.rte.ie/sport/2006/0711/materazzim.html Italians... help me out here. I've never been to Italy, but is it such a backwater country, cut off from the rest of the world that people do not know what an islamic terrorist is? I just read this Materazzi quote:
