the zidane-materazzi saga

ok i just got to blog about this to attract traffic. haha. how pathetic eh.

am talking about the infamous headbut by france world cup player, zidane. seems that technorati record the hot searches for now is ‘zidane’ so if i mentioned zidane’s name, more people will find my blog. ahem!

well this is the hot topic among many people (and the media). there were so many guesses to what had italian player materazzi said to provoke zidane to such extent that he turned into a bull. some said he had used the word ‘terrorist’ on zidane, some said he had insulted zidane’s (or zizou, as he is also known as) mother or sister. materazzi was said to pulled at zidane’s t-shirt and pinched his nipple too!

so much about the theme (or slogan) which was something ‘making friends worldwide’ (right?), these two seemed to badly wanted to made enemies! i guess when it comes to something as important and priceless as the world cup cup, people tend to turn nasty.
of course there tend to be arguments on who was wrong or who was right. many felt that since materazzi provoked zidane, materazzi was wrong. yet many felt that, though provoked, zidane shouldn’t lost his cool to resort to such drastic action on materazzi, which sort of darken his football career. true in a way… which reminds me of the time when the then IGP gave anwar his infamous black eye. many felt that anwar provoked the IGP (like calling him ‘anjing gila’ or something like that) which made the IGP hit him. then the arguments came that thoujgh the IGP was provoked, being a profesionnal, he shouldn’t lost his cool to hit out at anwar. well if people then pity anwar and felt the IGP was wrong, i suppose they would be the same one here to pity materazzi instead of zidane.

anyway, it seems that FIFA had launched a displinary proceedings against materazzi. let’s see how the proceedings goes.

i wonder if he hadn’t head-butt materazzi but instead did something else like punch him on the face or gave him a flying kick, would it be a hot topic? well punching and kicking are sort of normal… but to head-butt? that’s certainly not normal, so i guess that makes it a very much talk about topic. so much so that you see many bloggers blogging on it, and do you know there is a blog specially created for you to write down what you think materazzi might have said. oh and zidane’s head-butt even inspires a song! next, someone might came up with a ‘zidane head-butting materazzi’ game. oh. i think someone already did if i’m not mistaken. it’s like i remember seeing it somewhere but couldn’t remember where.

latest report says materazzi did mentioned his sister. what i remember reading was that when zidane said something like “if you like my shirt so much, you can take it off me after the match” and materazzi retorted “i’d rather take the shirt off your sister.” ahhh… the saga.
