Zidane still a big hero

Materazzi says that after he held his opponent's shirt, Zidane said: "If you want, I'll give you the jersey later."

In Tuesday's interview with the Gazzetta dello Sport, Materazzi said, "I responded that I preferred his sister, it's true. It wasn't something nice, true. But luckily there have been dozens of players who have confirmed that a lot worse things are said on the field."

The Italy defender received a two-game ban for the July 9 incident and will miss Wednesday's rematch of the final, a 2008 European Championship qualifier.

And now I think Zidane is an even bigger moron than I realized.

If someone says something about your sister in the middle of a game of whatever it is, are you going to disgrace your whole country in front of 2 billion people watching on TV and head butt the dude?

Come on! I think we've all heard a lot worse playing little league, or boxing some kid out under the hoop at recess, or at the face-off circle in a youth hockey game. I know I have...

I know it's old news, but I'm astounded at what a moron that guy was.
