Hi all.
First of all: Congratulations to Italia for their victory.
As a frenchman, i will give my opinion, a bit partial i guess :roll:
France is very disapointed since french team was so near of a victory and we all feel sad.
By the way France keep the coach Domenech for the Euro, i can tell you we will loose.
If france was able to come to the final, this is thanks to the players, the coach didn't help and made a lot of mistakes.
About Zinedine Zidane:
He will talk about what happened in a few days.
Zidane should'nt have react that way, we all have been offended and disapointed
But we should'nt be surprised, it's not the firts time he reacts this way cause of a bad player's behaviour.
I do not excuse what Zidane did, but i undertsand it.
Materazzi perfectly knew Zidane is a hothead, so insulting him was the best way to get rid of him.
The insult could have been a racist word. We dont' have to forget the World cup was played under the "sign" of the fight against racism.
It sounds a bit ironic, no?
About the insult, many rumors.
What are the word said by the italian player?:
-Terrorist
-Son of Harki (wich could be the most serious insult for a man with algerian and Kabyle origins)
-Insults on his family, sister or his mother (she could be sick)
Zidane could apologise because what he did was stupid as great man.
He is supposed to set an exemple.
He should ask forgiveness to all people who love him but certainly not asking forgivness to Materazzi.
Zinedine Zidane has been punished.
I think Materazzi should apologize.
And if it was a racist insult, he should be punished.
FIFA will investigate against Zizou.
Sos racisme, a famous french organisation against racism has asked to the FIFA for an investigation.

A video about Materrazi
Not full of dispassion but it gives an idea the man
