So, after much ado and formalities, FIFA, the governing body for football, handed down their decisions for the Zidane head-butting that took place in the final match of the 2006 World Cup (scroll down to read previous reports.)
Read here for a good summary.. archived version here.
What’s hilarious is how poorly the Italians are reacting.. in fact, it makes them look like sore winners and cry babies. They may have played a little better than Portugal (masters of diving and whining), but Italian football owns the sole award for bitching off the field.
Here’s an online version of an Italian press article.. call up your event planner, someone’s got to plan a pity party for them. Geez.
I guess I wouldn’t care so much if I thought Materazzi to be a decent guy.. but he can’t even man up to what he said on the field. HE said that he never said a word about Zinedine’s mother. Unfortunately, it doesn’t make sense that Zidane would go off and wail on someone for talking about their sister.. not alone, but to speak harshly about a sickly mom, shits gonna hit the fan.
Screw Materazzi and the crybaby Italian coaches. If you had an honest player, I’d feel more for you, but if you’re going to stand by lies, then, keep bitching, it suits you fine.
