it should be noted that according to other players who were within earshot, that Zidane was called a racial slur, and frankly Materazzi deserved it, the French team has been victim of much racial language lately and it's hard to contain one's emotions for 110 minutes when your offense can't score and then you get verbally spat upon
also, I don't think Zidane should be blamed for the loss, the Italian defense was just too strong, and if Trezeguet didn't hit the cross bar during the penalty kicks, it would have been different cause neither goalie was stopping anything at that point
Zidane should start a campaign with FIFA to headbutt racism out of sports
