Buffon: Materazzi didn’t deserve punishment

Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is none too pleased with FIFA’s decision to hand teammate Marco Materazzi a two-game ban for his role in the infamous World Cup final Zidane head butt.
“The two-match ban given to Marco was a scandalous compromise,” Buffon said as he prepared for the Euro 2008 qualifiers against Lithuania and France. “It was an absurd precedent and totally unacceptable.”
You’d expect Buffon to defend his teammate, but in this case he is absolutely wrong. Materazzi played a critical role in an event that tarnished football and tarnished the World Cup. FIFA was right to penalize him. I only wish that as part of the punishment he would be forced to play France every time the two countries meet.
