"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.
