		<description>&quot;Zidane exemplifies the French arrogance. They think they’re the best in the world.&quot;

Unbelievable hypocrisy from an Italian -- that&#039;s exactly what you guys think of yourselves in the world of football and that the rest of the world is not worth paying attention to.  Materazzi&#039;s a lowlife scumbag who deliberately and with calculation repeatedly hurls personal obscenities at the final of a world cup -- such a class act</description>

		<description>What Materazzi did to Zidane is a perfect revenge for the unjust victory France had over Italy a few tournaments beforehand. 5 minutes stoppage time? There should have been a minute maximum. What goes around comes around.

Zidane exemplifies the French arrogance. They think they&#039;re the best in the world. Italy and Materazzi proved them wrong. Poetic justice: Materazzi equalises, then gets the overrated French cretin sent off. Italy then win the World Cup for the 4th time! Doesn&#039;t get much better.</description>

		<description>I think Zidane is a great player but he&#039;s an arrogant jerk and Matarazzi is a goof ball who got assaulted by an arrogant jerk who can dish it out but cannot take it and that&#039;s as simple as it gets. Stop making excuses for this ill-tempered rich man because there are no excuses. If our children lose their temper and hit someone because they were called a few names don&#039;t we punish them? Than why is it we make excuses for a 30 year old who acts like a child? You guys should find better role models..</description>

		<description>@ThaMan 

Zidane was inarguably one of the greatest all time footballers.  Anyone who followed his career knows he gave as good as he got with regards to trash talking.  So what he did at the WC was inexcusable especially when we found out what was said was not of a racist nature.  

The Matrix is not profiting from the book.  In fact all proceeds from Materazzi&#039;s book go to charity.

To this day I am surprised that a man like Zidane has yet to apologise to Materazzi for his actions.  I always found it ironic how Matrix was made to be the bad guy when he was assaulted.  

Everyone wanted Zidane to leave the game on a high note.  However that didn&#039;t happen and he self destructed. It is a great deal easier for Zizou fans to blame Materazzi for this than put the blame were it really lies, at Zizou&#039;s feet.</description>

		<description>You all should be honored to see the great playing of ZZ. He contributed so much to the game of soccer and just because he did one mistake, thats all everyone is going to remember him for? Shows how ignorant you all are. As for Materazzi, hes a lame excuse for a soccer player. If his strategy to win is to talk trash to other players, then he is playing the wrong sport. Not to mention he is trying to make money off Zidane...how pathetic.</description>

		<description>Curry,
Huh...wha...??? Were you saying something?

Sorry.  My brain got hung up on the whole Zizou and Cannavaro removing their shirts thing.

So what you&#039;re saying is you felt sorry for MATERAZZI?  MARCO MATERAZZI?  Aw, sweetie, don&#039;t go all maternal on me!  Must fight it!  Must fight!  If we can&#039;t make fun of Materazzi...  

Well, that would remove a whole bunch of fun topics for me to write about.</description>

		<description>Is it wrong that I actually felt horrible for that own goal? That I felt, actually felt...for Marco Materazzi? 

Damn you Marco! If only Zizou had given you his shirt and then maybe you could have given him yours and then...Cannavaro could have came over and took off his jersey and...who needs that stupid cup anyway.</description>
