what do you think are possible insults matarrazi that would make him do this?

his mother had to mentioned somewhere

TPIWWL

"You have a soft head."

his bald head and something about his mama, not sure if the dad was mentioned as well.

that was the best thing about the whole world cup.....to bad he didnt smash the ref with a headbutt as well....

It is an unfortunate way to end a brilliant career.

You can take the boy out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the boy.

ARE U KIDDEN ME that was the best thing he could have done....go out with a BANG

what a badass

losing the world cup for your team is not a BANG. He is one of the best PK takers ever and coulda made a difference

yeah that was a pretty idiotic move.

it was a total bs call, the ref only called it after he saw i only the big screen, 3 minutes after the actual headbutt. total bs. if he had really seen the headbutt he would've called it IMMEDIATELY. soccer is rigged.

(at any point in overtime)

"Wait a second, you're French. Shouldn't you guys have already surrendered by now?"

Would of he took the place of the guy who missed? If not, probablly not.

he wouldnt of taken trezeguet place so it doesnt matter?

Besides, Italy was 5-5 on the kicks. Was Zidane gonna go in nets as well as take a kick?

I can't imagine what would possess him to freak out like that.

LOLOL. nh

My Italian is a little rusty, and my lipreading never the best, but I am pretty sure he said "Your wife squealed like a little piggy while I slammed her last night."

Im gutted for France BUT at least I can say I got to watch the World Champions when I was in Germany.

i think zidane looks like a murderer this incident just proves to me he is a badass mother ****** that takes no **** off nobody

Racial slur.


That said, Zidane is a friggin moron, he cost France the match.

Had he stayed on the pitch, France may have won. He is one man, and in a penalty shootout that counts for little. He may have taken a penalty in place of one of the players that scored. I really think that is would only make the slightest difference in such a crapshoot as a penalty shootout. Buffon is a far better keeper than Barthez, and Italy easily had more set piece talent on the pitch.

France was lucky to get to overtime much less PK's. The only reason they had a score was because the ref made a bad call.

I agree. He looks like Agent 47 from the Hitman video games. It was an incredibly stupid move and it definitely hurt his team but it was badass to see him almost stick his head through that guy's sternum.

in reality it had no effect on the outcome. the only french player to miss, trezeguet, would have definitely been one of the shooters even if zidane was in. he is one of their best goal scorers.

Ding ding ding. Winner.

Buffon didn't stop any of the PK's either, he just got lucky that the one shot hit the crossbar, he was going the wrong way to make the save.

True, but I would say that Buffon was more likely to save a penalty than Barthez.

It doesn't matter that Trezeguet missed, and that he would have still shot if Zidane stayed in. First of all, Zidane cost his team a chance to score with 10 minutes of overtime still remaining. They had a few close opportunities, and if they'd had 11 men they might have scored.

Secondly, if Zidane had stayed in, the shootout would have gone totally differently. Maybe Italy wins the shootout 3-0, maybe France wins 5-4, who knows, but everything that happened, every split-second decision and shot would have been entirely different and unique, so you can't say that Trezeguet still misses and Italy wins.

the world cup is rigged, they should've never shown the foul on the big screen, ****ing vegetables.

What a great tournament. They play for weeks and the championship gets decided by a shootout. Great! SW

Zidane is the man. Would love to hear what was said but Zidane will go down as one of the best players ever. His career was great and this wont reflect on it

as for the pks

Zidane would have been kicking 5th almost certainly for France so he wouldnt have been kicking neways

How do you know that, I would put him up early in the lineup to keep pressure on the italians to keep making shots.

Is this on youtube yet?

I'm glad he did it.
I started to hate Italy after everyone hoped onto their bandwagon

Word. The Italians couldnt even stand up. The french played all over them with just 10 men. If Zidan stayed in, they could have one.



Yeah me too. I started hating all the Europepean teams (except spain, and england). Why the **** couldnt argentina win?

except in rare circumstances, best pker is always kickin 5th mainly b/c of the pressure they are under if it gets to them. Generally when it gets down to this position you want your best player kickin to deal with the that kind of pressure. I mean i was nervous watchin the 5th guy kickin for italy and i was just watchin from my tv

two pots and a cheetah

Was I the only one who thought the Italians looked really flat from the 2nd half on? France outplayed them big time in my opinion.

The World Cup being decided by PKs is like a huge poker tournament being decided by all-in fests due to the huge blinds/low M situations...wait, that's how WPT tournaments are decided.

Materazzi must have said summin really bad, but what Zidane did is unexcusable. He has had arguably the best career of any player ever and goes and gets a name for himself. very sad

He has had arguably the best career of any player ever

not even close

3 pages ago, but i just got home and laughed heartily.
its funny that the thread was already won, and yet there were still two more pages of suggestions.

we actually had this discussion at the bar, and i impressed even myself with coming up with two very dirty suggestions in the company of several women who i'd known for less than an hour.

so loogie wins the thread, but i won the bar. woot.

yea you're right cuz the offsides judges are legally blind so there's no way they could have seen what happened. oh they're also mute and deaf so that head ref is a jerk.

i thought it was pretty funny. as unsportsmanlike as it was, you have to admit that Zidane owned the guy.

umm quick question since i don't know too much about soccer.

is the consensus that the goal that was called off for being offsides that it definitely wasn't offside? looked onside to me.

I thought they played awful. They looked tired the whole game, passing was off. The French were putting pressure on everyone who had the ball.




He was onside

Yea, here you go.




The player who hit the header in was, but there was another player a few yards from him that was offsides.

Coming from an Italian, it would be the pot calling the kettle black.



It looked OFFside to me.

Anyway, I'm not sure if Matterazzi said anything specific or not. He was obstructing Zidane some just prior to the headbutt and this was happening only minutes after Buffon made that tremendous, game-saving stop off Zidane's header. I'd say Zidane was just totally frustrated and had a very black moment.
