There are rumors here in Spain that Materazzi did use an italian expletive to provoke Zidane. He allegedly called him "terrone". I don't know what it means, but I'm told is a very offensive term in italian.

Those are just rumors and no one can know for sure. I think only Zidane and Materazzi can know what was said (and maybe some teammates around if they heard it). But still, teams are known to taunt the other team in any sport. I know that from playing sports myself. It is should just be ignored. Remember the old saying some of us say when we were kids: "Sticks and stones breaks my bones but words never hurt me."
That still applies.

Very easy for you to say Gian! I have seen the way you react when you think you are being attacked, either here or on imdb...and it sure aint by ignoring it!
I feel bad for Zidane, yes, emotions were high, it was the World Cup Finals after all!
Zidane lost his temper. It's too bad he pounded the Italian player, but I am certain that he was provoked.
Shit happens! He still remains a very great player and that is how I will remember him!
I just hope Materazzi was not majorly injured or anything.
Anyway ....
CONGRATULATIONS ITALIA!! ;D

Listen up, if you're accusing me of being violent that's very serious. I will attack someone verbally (and I have tried reducing that up a bit on IMDB), but in no way would I punch someone, headbutt them or assault them in any way. You better have some proof.
I'm much better on here then IMDB, because I don't have to deal with people like jec attacking me viciously. What do you expect me to do? Just let it go? ::)

I really enjoyed all the terrific photos. You are all very talented!! What a spectacle!

I am not going to argue with you. I am not interested in accusing you of anything ..lol
All I am saying is that its easy to say "Ignore it" if someone makes a racist or nasty comment, but its not that easy.
And nope, I dont have evidence that you punch out people (that was not my point), but verbally, you dont let anything slide..do ya? That's what I was saying.
I am not supporting what Zidane did. I can see him losing his temper if he was insulted ...
I am not a violent person at all, but there are times I am ready to fight with someone if they are racist or call me a name ..
