WORLD CUP (SAD)

By the same token, Matazaratti went over as if he had been shot. Great dive if ever I saw one. Didn't know they had practised dives from head butts to the chest. Just goes to show how well trained the Italians were, taking into account every contingency LOL
 
Not to mention that it was alleged that Zidane was called a terrorist...

Italian football can't avoid the headlines at the moment. Even the greatest achievement in the last 10 years could be tarnished by racial undertones...

how about i head butt you to the chest with that force and we'll see if your still standing.


It's a sad way to end a great carrer but even if he 'was' called a terroist he should have turned and walked away, what example is he setting for the young players that watch his every move??? it's the same thing that happened with Eric Cantona when he kicked the fan in the head.
 
Fresh from the BBC.

Zidane makes apology for headbutt

Zidane reacted to Materazzi's insult by headbutting the defender
Zinedine Zidane has apologised for the headbutt on Italy's Marco Materazzi which earned him a red card in Sunday's World Cup final penalty shoot-out loss.
But the France legend did not reveal what Materazzi said, only confirming that it was "very personal and concerned his mother and his sister".

In a French TV interview, Zidane, 34, said: "I want to ask for forgiveness from all the children who watched that.

"There was no excuse for it. I want to be open and honest about it."


Highlights: Zidane dismissed as Italy win World Cup

Zidane was sent-off for the headbutt to Materazzi's chest in the second period of extra-time in Sunday's final in Berlin.

Italy went on to win 5-3 on penalties

Hey, next time you are in Adelaide or I am in Melbourne.

Bring It On! I mean seriously, I have been absolutely king hit there and not gone down anything like that. Being 6'4" and 17 stone might have something to do with that, but, please, feel free.

I do not intend any racist slur by my posts so please don't take it that way. I am just concerned that too many soccer players from everywhere, not just Italy, go down FAR too easily and there is not enough done to combat it from a referees point of view. As far as I am concerned, I don't have any particular predelection towards soccer and my world does not start or end depending on the results of it, I just do not like to see players diving like many do. It detracts from the game and is quite possibly why it will never reach the heights of popularity in Australioa that Australian Rules and Rugby League have.
