What did Materazzi say?

It must have been something really nasty to elicit such a reaction from Zinedine Zidane in last night's World Cup Final.

Speculation is rife that it may have been a racist remark regarding Zidane's Kabyle Algerian origins.

On the other hand, others are drawing attention to an apparent 'nipple tweak' that Materazzi gave Zidane immediately prior to the headbutt. Perhaps a sexual taunt followed this assault?

Personally though, I think it must have been far worse than any of these...

Maybe Materazzi blurted out what happens in the final episode of 'Lost'?

  • He probably said "The Princess of Wales Conservatory has TEN computer controlled climatic areas, not nine, Algerian dog!"

    Or somesuch.

  • There are a few possibilities flying around the rumour mill right now... My workmates are great at digging them up!

    Rumour #1: Materazzi called him "a terrorist". Hmmmm.... Now, I'm dubious about this one for two main reasons - the first being that it was reported by the Daily Mail; and the second being that calling someone a terrorist just because they're Arabic is such a lame, witless thing to do that it's hard believe it could upset anyone to that extent. Surely the normal reaction to this would be to simply laugh contemptuously and extend a little pinky finger out, to indicate the size of the penis that a person who made this comment must have.

    Rumour #2: I just received this email...

    'Materazzi said - "I Hope Jean suffered."

    Explanation: Jean Varraud was Zidane's first trainer and Zidane considered him as his second father.

    He died just before World Cup started after a long battle with cancer.

    You see Zidane looking at the sky many times during the WC particularly after he scores goals.

    It is for him.'

    Expect more developments, but I find this explanation much more compelling. If it's true, Materazzi's lucky that Zidane's big shaven head only hit his chest, and didn't smear his nose all the way across his cheek, to end up just below his ear.

  • It was absolutely awesome. We weren't watching the game per se but we did see that and I crowed when I saw it. The unexpectedness of the event really blew us away - I also believe that whatever was said to ZidZid must have been something really bad for him to react like that - it is amazing hearing all these stories come out. Ah, but we do love the controversy!

    Will check back to see what else has come up.

    Did you see that Italian bounce when he went down? It was - wow.

  • Yep missed it. The only good tv that I was actually present for was the whole ripping up of the pope by good ol Sinead on SNL. When I say good I just mean simply shocking. And they never replayed it so I feel like part of tv history. Totally off topic isn't that?

  • Just be glad you're not over in this hemisphere, Ruth. It was prime-time here! :)

  • What I want to know is why he headbutted him in the chest. Why not the nose? If you're going to headbut someone...
