I'm sure if i called your mother a whore or any other form of REAL personal attack, you wouldln't react.
If you wouldn't then you and your mom should kiss and make up. Jus because you didn't stick it in her and she grounded you for it.
It's understandable if the allegations are true.
Are all Italians as "ignorant" as Materazzi in not knowing what "terrorist" means?
Or is he just that special?
Come on guys....this is silly.... actually, as I am typing it now, I realize that it might not be all that silly as most guys have not had this type of experience....
If you have ever been very good at a sport... then you have been targeted by your opponents and you know the shit some guys will say to get you off your game... If you don't have a good coach or mentor to help you, then you react like Zidane did...
good coaches will tell you simply "the best way that you can get back at them is to play within the rules and score the goal, make the catch, win the game etc...."...
The stage was so beautifully set for Zidane... he was a World Cup champ, coming back to help out his team... a team that looked shaky in the qualifying rounds..... but he leads them to the World Cup Finals defeating the powerhouse Brazilain squad.... .scores a goal in the Finals... almost wins the game in OT.... regardless of whether France won or lost, this should have been one of the all time great stories in sports..... HOW DO YOU FUCK THIS UP???
Zidane should have known better and done better... instead the only thing that he proved to Materazzi and the world is that his action in the OT of the 2006 World Cup was one of the biggest bonehead moves in all of sports thereby making Materazzi famous for many years to come
I hope that Zidane gets/has a good PR person to help him thru the minefield he has created...
