when I grow up, I want to headbutt people too! : D

[Moonshade]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!
Italy won, I'm soooo happy!

Wtf, Zidane...that was so unprofessional!
but I'm curious about what Materazzi said though... but whatever he might have said, Zidane really deserved that red card!
I'm so irritated, there are polls everwhere saying; "Was it fair to deport Zidane", yes of course it was. The poll shows; 60% Yes, and 20% says no...but apparently it's gonna rise (the yes part).

VIVA ITALIA!
Congratulazioni!

Buffon, you are the best...and like one of the sports commentator said; Italy had never won penalty shots before, but now that is just history!

Well, I was rooting for France (and I'm English).
I am so ashamed of Zidane, a towering football player, who at his best is like watching poetry in motion. What a way to end your career.

Well done to Italy though.

[shelley bda]

Well done Italy!!!!

Great big BOOOOOOOOO to Zidane though obviously doesn't care about Football or his country if he's going to react like that

[Raz316]

something extremely bad had to have been said to him though. Though I dont think it was right (and I dunno what was said), there are loads of things id put before football and my country no matter how much I love each

no player in this world is dumb enough to do such a thing for no reason, i beleive zidane had a very good reason to do so. that italian punk said somthing real offensive to him and there is soo much verbal abuse a human can take before he or she retaliates.

so why didnt he just give him some verbal abuse back? there is no excusing that kind of behaviour.

Congrats Italy, the French didnt deserve to even be in the final.

Zidane should be ashamed of himself, what is he doing headbutting someone in the chest. Might as well go for the face if you're gonna headbutt someone. Big girl


(Just kidding)

I agree.

Zidane isn't new to Football, he should know that a bit of verbal is to be expected, and rise above it, if there was verbal
( maybe, maybe not, we were not on the pitch so we can't say for sure ) then that's exactly the retaliation reaction Italy wanted.

[mmh]

if i were a footballer playing my last ever game, id wanna do that too... but id do it to the ref \m/

I think that if it was verbal, it would have had to have been something deeply offensive. It doesnt excuse his behaviour though.

ITV were saying that maybe Materazzi twisted his nipple before it though.
