Thanks Dagann for sharing that last video. I think out of the two of them, it's pretty obvious which one's the real psycho.
Goffredo, I'm sorry but I'm not really one for turning the other cheek if the insult is bad enough, unfortunately Zidane went too far. The problem with bullies is if you don't confront them then they just keep doing it. Hopefully, the incident itself will bring more attention to the racism that goes on in football, especially if Materazzi is punished for what he might have said.
Think about this: Zidane's retiring, probably a very wealthy man, still loved by France, still recorded in history as one of the greatest players the world has seen (which he is, regardless of a couple of incidents), so it's actually no skin off his nose. Materazzi has to continue though, and if his clearly animalistic behaviour is scrutinised closely from now on perhaps some good will come out of it. Maybe Zidane's smarter than you think, and he's surely brought certain behaviour and attitudes to the forefront. Intentional or not, hopefully that would be a very worthy parting shot.
