Zidane/Matterazzi

Since Sunday evening the whole World has been debating what Italian
defender Marco Materazzi said to Zinedine Zidane to make the retiring
Frenchman react in the way he did. The French captain, in his last ever
professional game, thrust his head into Materazzi's chest in Sunday's World Cup
Final resulting in a red card and shame for Zidane. Today, with the help of
Italian lip-reader Arturo Belladini, we can reveal what drove Zidane to self
destruct; Materazzi was seen to hold Zidane's shirt on the edge of
the penalty box in extra-time at which point Zidane said

"if you want my shirt so bad you can have it"

Materazzi responded

"I dont want your shirt you m***** f*****. you're a f****** old man"

As they jog away Zidane is seen to laugh at this and it is unclear
how he responded due to him having his back to the TV camera

Materazzi then hit a volley of abuse

"you should've quit 2 years ago, you're a f****** has-been"

"m***** f*****! your mum is a f****** muslim terrorist and you are
too,

f*** you old man f*** you"

"old man, this arena is not for you anymore m***** f*****"

Zidane carries on jogging away

"you are only good enough for Ipswich now"

It's at this very point Zidane turned and head-butted him.
