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.
passes the bong too right!
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
