Both Materazzi and Zidane have history of this behavior. What ever Materazzi said to Zidane, Zidane got even with the head butt. Too bad for him, Zidane got red carded and thrown out. End of story
I don't understand how this is a racial issue. It's sports. Live with it. I could understand if they wouldn't let Zidane play because he was Muslim. Thats racism. But two guys trash talking to each other is not racism.

I agree. Im sure both sides did plenty of trash talking. Its not like the french were complimenting the italians on their hairstyles, while the italians were calling them dirty terrorists. Alls fair in love and war...
