Report: Materazzi discloses his World Cup insult August 18, 2007
MILAN, Italy (AP) -- Italy defender Marco Materazzi finally disclosed what he said to Zinedine Zidane in the World Cup final that provoked the French star to retaliate with a head-butt.
"I prefer the whore that is your sister," Materazzi wrote in his yet-to-be-released autobiography, according to Italian news reports Saturday.
Italian magazine TV Sorrisi E Canzoni reported the insult in an interview with Materazzi, which comes out Monday. Materazzi, however, told ANSA news agency the words were not part of the interview.
"Rather they are from page 21 of my autobiography," Materazzi said Saturday. "I will speak about the book at length but only on Aug. 30, the day set aside for its presentation in Milan."
Zidane head-butted Materazzi in the chest with 10 minutes left in last year's final. He was sent off for violent conduct, ending his stellar career with a red card. Italy went on to win the game in a penalty-kick shootout after the score was 1-1 after extra time.
Materazzi, who received a two-game ban for incitement, has since apologized to Zidane. France coach Raymond Domenech this month lauded Materazzi's strategy for getting Zidane out of the game.
"I say 'bravo' to him," the coach said. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matterazzi is godly

Having a sister myself, I can say one thing: insulting your sister is almost as worse as insulting your mother.
I would've headbutted the ****er too.

I'm not too surprised by some of your comments seeing as how probably not many of you have actually played competitive sports. The thing is...regardless of what your opponent says, you can't let it get to you. In hockey, I've said wayyyy worse things then that, just to get under there skin. Thats exactly what Materazzi did to Zidane, and Zidane wasn't smart enough or didn't have enough self control to realize that it wasn't a personal comment. His whole team, hell even his whole country was depending on him and he let the comment get to him...his loss, his teams loss, his countries loss. Hell, he doesn't even know his sister, so why get so offended?

Yeah it was because Materazzi pulled Zidane's shirt.
Zidane turned around and said " You want my shirt?"
and that's when Materazzi said " I prefer the whore that is your sister."

It's one thing to trash talk in sports. I'm okay with that, it's all good. But when you get personal and verbally attack them like that, then it's over the line. Materazzi is a dick and he was always a dick. look at some of his clips on youtube. shows how much dirty he is.
