  "Terrorist"
Apparently Materazzi called Zidane, the son of Islamic Algerians, a "terrorist."

Way to go, Italy.

Zidane should, of course, have laughed this off. But as much as Zidane should feel shame over his headbutt, the Italians should regret that bit of cheap and dirty name-calling.

Materazzi, by the way, was once suspended from league play for two months for punching an opponent in the face...

The only difference is that Materazzi, who had been taunting the opponent from the bench throughout the game, waited until the game was over to sucker-punch him.
 
Comments:
Materazzi=Italy? I think not. This sort of tainting of a nation by association--and based on an uncomfirmed story--is pretty cheap stuff.

Do you want to be held accountable for Geore W. Bush? Or Rush Limbaugh? Again, I doubt it.
 
Honestly, can't a man indulge in a little hyperbole? Or is your comment the self-knowing equivalent of an Italian flopping to the ground and writhing in pain?
 
At least it's a World Cup Champion flopping, sucka.
 
Has anyone noticed that all this business about Ronaldhino smiling all the time is bollocks? He has a condition, well-known in the dental field, in which the front teeth so proclude as to make it nearly impossible for him to close his lips over them, thus leading to a perpetual "smile". See Jack Nicholson as the Joker, Batman II.
 
Mick Jagger has sort of a corollary problem when you think about it (i.e., just too much lip).

It seems the comments were: "I fucked your mother last night. She's an Algerian whore." - Brilliant! Just the right words to wind him up and get him sent off. And 'cos Materazzi's so tall he couldn't even butt him in the head - could only reach his chest. Ultimately, Materazzi wins. He scored the equaliser, he scored his penalty and he is a World Cup champion. Bravo Marco - Buon Gioco.
