. July 12, 2006 SouthAmerica: The Italians know how to push the buttons of other players to get them ejected of the game. They use all the tricks in the book to be able to win. If Zidane was not provoked and ejected of that game â it is possible that France instead of Italy would be commemorating a world cup win!!!!!! What a way to win a world cup. I wonder why the italians need to resort to these dirty tricks to be able to win a world cup? It is bad enough that the Italians had to participate on the second world cup final to be decided on penalties â on the first one they lost to Brazil in 1994, in the second one they decided to pull a stunt out of their bag of dirty tricks to make sure they had a chance to win. ********************** Zizou called 'son of terrorist whore' Emma-Kate Symons, Paris The Australian â July 12, 2006 DEVASTATED French fans rallied around their flawed football hero Zinedine Zidane as evidence emerged that he was insulted as "the son of a terrorist whore" before he headbutted Italian defender Marco Materazzi in the dramatic World Cup final. Zidane was sent off with a red card in the 110th minute, before the penalty shoot-out and Italy's victory, ending his extraordinary international soccer career in what commentators around the world called disgrace. But lip-reading experts called in by media outlets including The Times of London, The Daily Mail and The Guardian, along with outlets in Brazil, confirmed that the 34-year-old rammed Materazzi in the chest after the Italian player called him the "son of a terrorist whore", and then told him to "f... off". Other versions included insults to Zidane's sister and references to him as a "dirty Muslim" and one of the "dregs". Zizou, as he is known in France, is the son of Algerian migrants. He was raised in the gritty suburbs of Marseilles and calls himself a non-practising Muslim. He has played in Italy and speaks Italian fluently. The alleged insult to his mother was described as especially explosive because she had been taken to hospital gravely ill on the day of the Cup final, and yesterday Zidane rushed back to Marseilles to be at her bedside. Zidane's agent said the star was provoked by Materazzi and would explain what happened in a few days. In Italy, one MP demanded that the Sports Minister hold an inquiry to test the allegations. Materazzi, who has a history of verbal and physical abuse in soccer, yesterday admitted insulting Zidane but denied he used the word "terrorist". "It was the kind of insult you will hear dozens of times and just slips out of the ground," he told Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport. "I didn't call Zidane a terrorist and certainly didn't mention his mother." At a lunch in honour of Les Bleus, President Jacques Chirac reserved his warmest comments for Zidane: "Dear Zinedine, in such a hard and intense moment for you, I would like to express the entire nation's affection and admiration for you. You are a virtuoso, a genius of soccer and an exceptional human being. You are also a man of heart, commitment, conviction. That's why France admires and loves you." Le Parisien newspaper yesterday confirmed the sentiments of the majority of the French, with a survey showing 78per cent judged him the best player of the Cup, 61per cent forgave his brutality towards Materazzi and 52per cent understood that he had reacted to provocations. .
