Oh great, a lawsuit about the Zidane headbutt

Just when you thought that you would never, ever read another word about Zinedine Zidane’s World Cup headbutt again, along comes a lawyer who is suing to have the red card overturned. The legal system being used as it was always meant to be. We wish him good luck with that.

At this point we’re thinking about suing the next person who tries to capitalize on this thing.

So if this attorney wins to have the red card overturned is he then going to sue to get the Italien win overturned? This is getting pathetic.

Probably Sepp Blatter is behind this. He wants our attention trained somewhere else. I think he has seen that all us World Cup Blogers want to see him removed as head of FIFA.

Quote “THEY going to do go back..”
“SEPP Blatter is behind this”
” I heard that Zidane hired this lawyer” LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
Typical reactions of ignorants and racist desinformation for John the famous racist one.
For all: This Lawyer is a guy who always trying to do his pub. He managed to take a TV reality show to court because “they don’t pay guy who participed”.
The E.T., ZZ, French secret services and the global secret organisation of french football had probably no relations with him. But could we be certain… LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

It’s only alleged that ZZ is funding this lawsuit. Reports indicate ZZ has been indirectly funding these attempts.

If it’s true Zidane has truly lost his mind.

Hmm pathetic ?? What’s pathetic about slamming someone be it verbal or physical who abuses your family ? Materazzi’s an a$$ and a racist..this isn’t a comment leading to ‘racist pig..blah blah, woe to all those being picked upon..’ when people make racist/prejudiced statements, while it’s not exactly the best thing to go around swinging, sometimes you come across a swine like materazzi who just deserves to be knocked in his groin…he should have the b*lls to admit exactly what he said…and then be banned for a yr, forget this paltry attempt to appease.

Matarazzi deserved it,and Canavaroshould have sit out the cup for his elbow. I think the world is tired of italy’s cynical style of play and poor sportsmanship. Diving and dirty play is a combination Italy has worked hard to perfect, it is everyon else’s fault that this is tiresome ? Their domestic disgrace is only a symptom of their greater corrupt view of the game.

Sinbad Zidane insulted Materazzi in the first place and Materazzi coments were not racist so get a grip. Zidanes actions were stupid and if your anaware it wasnt just any game that they were playing in.. It was the world cup final if that doesnt mean anything to you then ur cleary blinded for all your patriotism for Zidane ummm the man disgraced himself in front of the whole world and ur defeneding him serioulsy. Max is tired the new word for jealos as u clearly are, the whole world is not tired because there is nothing to be tired of. All of you azzurri haters have nothing to fall back on when it comes to how Italy plays so all of a sudden they become dirty players…. when really they are not dirty just the best in the world and if u cant take that i couldnt care less 4 world cups is more that what u can say. Complain all u want but but no one will remember your spitefull typicall arogant comments but everyone will remeber who won the World cup in 2006…Italia! Viva Italia champion del mondo per sempre mwaaa

Why would Zidane hire a lawyer to overturn the red card?

just to let u kno, italy didn’t “start” to b dirty after this event. they hav been known to b dirty and to dive forever. if you didnt kno that u obviously dont know football. the italy commercial of them diving shows that the world knos it. that commercial was made before the world cup too. incase any1 didnt kno, the commercial shows team italy training, they jog on the spot and then fall down and pretend to b hurt every time the coach blows a whistle

how can that guy be “blinded for all your patriotism” when he is not from france? you obviously just follow the band wagon of italy even though ur from australia. you are pathetic. this minor thing cannot shame the legend of zidane. he did wat he thought was right to defend his morales. he has been known to b strongly against racism and that shows how gd of a character he has. matterazzi has known to b a dirty player, even by team italy’s standards. and i love the country of italy. i hav many friends from there. i just wish their footaball team was as great as their country. there must b some horrible coach or manager that trains them so poorly or something, cause a beautiful country cant create such a horrible team.

yeah, Marcello Lippi, the worst coach ever that ruined one of Italy’s greatest players careers….Roberto Baggio….he doesnt deserve a world cup victory or the Italian national team’s respect. All his career actions were done for his ego and his glory…..pathetic man and horrible coach
