On an ESPN radio show this afternoon, they also talked about how earlier on in the game, Materazzi supposedly gave Zidane a "purple nurple". It sounds funny, but fuck those can hurt sometimes. I'm sure Zidane wasn't exactly innocent, but at the same time, a racist remark like that should not be tolerated.
Dude, don't take such a strong point of view based on "what experts believe" was said. They can speculate on their own, but the bottom line is the that the two of them were going at it, not just Materazzi yelling insults at Zidane. No matter what Materazzi said, you can't deny that Zidane reacted childlishly by retaliating with violence. He made an ASS of himself, and he deserves the bad reputation for his actions.

And to say there's no class on the Italian side?!? Are you kidding dude? The players on both teams were tight for the most part. The only two on the field that had any problem were Zidane and Materazzi. And again with the conjecture about the "purple nurple".. do you seriously believe an adult would do that? Come on, grow up and don't insult Italians.
