How the hell did the France lose? What happened to Zidane? Why did they let the"rookie" player shoot penalty? I knew right away that he was gonna mess up argggg!
This is not real! Not only I lost the money, I feel so disappointed for such a good team to lose like that. I wonder what that Italian said to Zidane to make him so furious!

If Zidane, Thierry Henry, Frank Ribéry were there to shoot penalty, French could have won!
shareZidane's a Muslim, I'm wondering if they insulted him using that somehow..
shareZidane is known to be modest, quiet and admittedly shybut sometimes Zidane has occasionally shown a quick temper on the pitch.
Maybe he is an introvert Guy.
I read from Wikipedia that he headbutted Marco Materazzi, because he's responsed to a racial insultion by Materazzi. (Zidane has Algerian-Berber Ancestry)
Or Maybe yeah you're right. Because Zidane is a Muslim maybe he is provoked by Those Italians ...
Who Knows ...

Well, a Tame Rooster could be dangerous if it's harmed. Just like Zidane.
shareYeah, I looked at Wiki as well. Materazzi was being racist.
"His team members later reported to French media that Zidane was reacting to a racial slur from Materazzi."
EDIT: Look at the headbutt in slow-mo on Wiki! I have to admit it looks hilarious.
Diseases play hide and seek with scientists while people die in the distance.
That game was ruined when Zidane lost his head and got that red card.. If Trezeguet had hit that ball some inches lower, it wold have hit like Zidane's penalty in the first half and gone in..

He should have kept his temper in check no matter what was said b/c that probably cost France the cup.
ITALY FOR THE WORLD CUP BABY!!!!
"What happened to Zidane"
He lost his cool and cost his team. It's as simple as that!
It was hilarious. Most entertaining thing in the whole world cup.
shareWhat was said to him to make him react like that is what I wanna know.
ITALY FOR THE WORLD CUP BABY!!!!
Yeah, what Materazzi said has been nagging me. I'm happy Itlay won, but so sad for Zidane, he is a legendary player, and deserved to get the Golden ball, but to end a carreer on such a note is so depressing. Zidane should have thought before acting, but I don't blame him for what he did, I just hope he will be remembered for his beautiful game, and not that ugly headbut
There will NEVER be Another ELLIOTT YAMIN, The true American Idol
Yeah as much as I wanted Italy to win it does suck what happened to Zidane.
ITALY FOR THE WORLD CUP BABY!!!!
I heard that he called him a terrorist (because he is Muslim) and he got really offended.
shareUh I heard it was probably something of that sort but thanks for the info.
ITALY FOR THE WORLD CUP BABY!!!!

Those stupid Italians knew that they were going to lose so they played such a dirty trick. That Italian guy must have said something so horrible to infuriate Zidane like that! What a dirty scumbag! That was LOW!

MILAN, Italy 3 Hours Ago- Marco Materazzi admits he insulted Zinedine Zidane before the France captain head-butted him in the World Cup final. Materazzi denies calling him a "terrorist."
"I did insult him, it's true," Materazzi said in Tuesday's Gazzetta dello Sport. "But I categorically did not call him a terrorist. I'm not cultured and I don't even know what an Islamic terrorist is."
Zidane and Materazzi exchanged words after Italy broke up a French attack in extra-time of Sunday's final in Berlin. Seconds later, Zidane lowered his head and rammed Materazzi in the chest, knocking him to the ground.
Zidane was sent off, reducing France to 10 men. Italy won the game in a penalty shootout.
"I held his shirt for a few seconds only, then he turned round and spoke to me, sneering," the Italian defender said. "He looked me up and down, arrogantly and said: 'If you really want my shirt, I'll give it to you afterwards.'"
The 32-year-old Inter Milan player did not elaborate exactly on what he said to Zidane.
"It was one of those insults you're told tens of times and that always fly around the pitch," he said.
Media reports, based on interpretations by lip-readers, have suggested that Materazzi called Zidane a terrorist or insulted his mother or sister. Materazzi denies these claims, too.
"For me, the mother is sacred, you know that," Materazzi told the newspaper.

"you are LOW. don't take your frustation out on italia just because france lost because the italia goal keeper was so good."
I'm just stating the fact! I will not look at these cheaters the same way again. The Italian didnt win because of that goal keeper, he did not save a goal from the penalty shootout. They won because they cheated.
NOT trying to start an argument but you think they cheated b/c one guy made a comment?? They all say stuff like that to each other, I don't know exactly what was said but I mean Zidane didn't have to respond the way he did so how is that cheating???

Yeah, speaking of rookies, the last Italian to shoot, Fabio Grosso (number 3) was taking his first penalty. Ever. So, Italian fans were chewing holes through their lips as well.
shareUH okay big news with this subject here is what Materazzi said when Zidane told him he could have his jersey after the game "I'd rather have your sister." End of story that's what caused the headbutt and I got this from a news website that is reliable and quoted Materazzi as saying it.
