I should start reading the comments before posting one of these years. For posting that info about verification I present to you this bit of comedy spoofing of the event:

The voice in that video sounds like Cartman.

Remember when Rudi Voeller got spat on by Frank Rijkaard in the 1990 WC? He jogged away and the Germans stuck it to the Dutch by winning the game. Lothar Matthaus went in front of the Dutch bench and provided a few non-friendly gestures after the game-winning goal.
And somehow, the world didn't stop. A side effect of cameras on everything nowadays is that so much gets over-analyzed.

I was waiting for this. I knew there would be some sort of "I am Muslim and I am a victim" defense.What a stupid comment on your part.
To: SkyPilot
Quite obviously this perfectly coordinated and executed back flip along with Materazzi's agonizing and writhing in severe pain on the turf was executed to perfection.
The primary objective:
Have the oppositions best player ejected.

My first question is, "Does Zidane speak Italian?" Does the Italian speak French?"
To: SkyPilot
After an exhaustive study of the match video, and with the help of an Italian translator, Rees claimed that Materazzi called Zidane the son of a terrorist whore before adding so just f*** off for good measure, supporting the natural assumption that the Frenchman must have been grievously insulted. What did their "exhaustive study of the match video" show about the trash talk Zidane was spewing?

What is all this fuss about a silly soccer game? Can't wait for football season.

Heh, I can see Trey and Matt planning a South Park episode about this right now...

This wimp wouldn't last 5 seconds in an NBA game.
I guess the standard World Soccer diving lessons include other girlie-man lessons as well.

Yet they don't tell us in what language the alleged insult was hurled. Seems to be you know, the most damn critical piece of information here so others can independently verify the lip reading.I think I read that Zidane used to play for a Milan team, so he probably knows Italian.
To: Cinnamon
It's hard to believe that he did that with 10 minutes left in his career. Maybe he wanted an excuse to be able to come out of retirement so that isn't his swan call.
To: Texas Songwriter
Zidane speaks Italian as he played professionally in Turin (Juventus) for a few years.

The strange thing is why head-butt him? Why not punch him in the face?
To: dfwgator
But he brought his mother into it. That's what we call "fighting words." Lyle Alzado (RIP) once told an opponent he would "kill your family and let you live." And that was OLD SCHOOL trash talk.

It's soccer - you can't use your hands.
To: TheRealDBear
Big effin' deal. Your average playground basketball game has worse taunts.I don't know what playground you grew up on, but in Jersey City those were fighting words. If that what was said, I don't blame Zidane for retaliating. He just should have been more clever in how he went about it.

Zidane's reaction was inappropriate, but I'd probably do the same if called that. Too bad he ended up hurting his team.
To: Texas Songwriter

Both Zidane and the Italian play in Serie A, the top Italian league, so probably so.

Hi DES-
Zidane has played for Juventus and Real Madrid recently. I'm sure there are words in Spanish that also sound similar.
