I didn't like how the ESPN commentators were talking more about the incident than the actual game. Zidane this, Zidane that. It's unfortunate that his sparkling carreer was tarnished. But athletes always clash and emotions run high in all big games. I guess that the sport press is just more concerned about controversy and less about sport.

robert42 Reviewed by robert42 on . World Cup Aftermath Well, as I expected, there was a small bit on the incident on ESPN today following the very controversial attack that happened towards the end of OT. Read for yourself. For me, I believe that's probably some of what happened, as well as a lot more jeering back and forth. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=373675&cc=5901 And how about Materazzi's response. It was professional, but at the same time, I can almost sense his sarcasm. And how's that for class, Italian fans? Rating: 5
