who cares what Materazzi said? Materazzi could be ashamed of it, but not punished by FIFA, as he has done what's done on pitches for years. Like people have stated this sort of thing happens at every match and Zidane, a veteran, shouldnt have reacted. He only has himself to blame. Materazzi knew what he was doing, and got what he wanted.... Its more or less the same as what Ronaldo did to Rooney, you push a players buttons and sometimes they snap. It happens...
I've heard a couple of defenders telling our striker once that they were gonna 'gang rape' his grilfriend-not nice but said to provoke a reaction...
It's up to the player to rise above that sort of sh*t...
