That was in my eyes a nice revenge after the EC 2000. Wow. This 5-chilo trophy is another thing than the silver trophy the french got in the European Cup. Ha.
Yes Materazzi is stupid but Zidane is stupid too. I'm so glad the french didn't lift the cup.
And: "succa algerino di merda"
"succa" is not an italian word. The rest means "little algerian shit". Yes yes very stupid but to headbutt him for that.. he must have some kind of mood problem.

it was the last game of his career... he was probably riding a rollercoaster of emotions. it wasn't smart to react like that, but i don't blame him for it.

and yes, materazzi is a goon. i've seen a lot of him at inter and it always seems like he's playing with an intent to injure.

Yeah, I saw the video someone linked to, he seems to blackout sometimes too, hehe.

The correct spelling is "Suca Algerino di merda".
"Suca" is a contraction of the word "succhia" which means "suck".

So the correct translation is " Suck it shitty Algerian".

Absolutely right.
That's why he wasn't (and still isn't by most of the people) loved in Italy...

side note, I think this picture is pretty cool

^ Best championship photo IMO.

ABSOULTELY.

Look at thye boy in the BG on the left...

What Background






P.S. Ah, found it. Must be some kind of optical illusion

Background?

Ah, found it, too. Took me quite some time. I think the "boy" is a girl though.

The rest means "little algerian shit". Yes yes very stupid but to headbutt him for that.. he must have some kind of mood problem.

But for you that's normal and Zidane should have shut up and walk away? While Zidane's headbutt can be punished insults are invisible and that's the problem, it happens too many times. Black players get insulted regularly so the Fifa "say no to racism" slogan becomes the biggest joke ever, especially in this world cup final case.

And what about this prick Paolo Di Canio "I am fascist but not racist"



How can Fifa or biggest football clubs tolerate this ? And Zidane will be blamed for a headbutt with this kind of similar idiot ???? Don't make me laugh, facist pigs should be punished for consequences of their acts. I think you should make up your mind, Zidane doesn't have a mood problem when he headbutts Materazzi, there is no football anymore, no world cup anymore, no rules anymore but one more time who started this ?

You shouldn't just bring up Italian players as an example, that is unfair and is just an attempt to make us look bad. There are hundreds of racist players and at the end of the day it shouldn't take the glory away from the deserving players.

Racism (or facism) shouldn't be tolerated in the beautiful game, I totally agree.

I used to play for a mauritian based soccer club here, most of the guys in my team were of mauritian background. We went to melbourne and played their mauritian based team and one of the guys on the melbourne team during play called my friend "a black cunt". My friend punched him in the face and got a red card. The stupid thing is both guys were black themselves so I asked the dude who got punched why he did it and he said, "I wanted him to get sent off".

Its stupid but we shouldn't be hot headed. Anger is not the way of the Jedi. Funnily enough, my dad at the beginning of the game said, "Zidane is going to do something stupid and not finish the game".

What about after beating a team calling their nation's people "fuckers"?

Note well this: "twisted" ie. twisted sense of humour...the operative term being "humour" as "in jest".

Jesus...

I do agree, but sometimes that can be very difficult when the adrenaline is pumping.
