Zidane is arrogant, he provoked Materazzi.

[Hajagha]

ive hated him from when he played at juve JUST because of this arrogance,

Who cares? You just showed who you are with the other thread by asking people to shut up.

World is full of Materazzi and his followers.

Just a little aside to all of those registering in discussion in these threads:

if you cannot argue your point with dignity, do not post.
if you cannot accept other people's viewpoints, do not post.
if you provoke a member, you are just as bad as Materazzi.
if you react to a member, you are just as bad as Zidane.

any more insults, members will be warned and this thread will be closed

anyways, whatever Materazzi said it was very offensive, because I've watched Zidane at club level for a very long time, including the national team and he does have outbursts from time to time, for example I remember in a game when he was playing for real madrid, a player came from behind him and cut across his legs lipping him upside down, while in the air he kicked the guy right in the face .

anyways, he is my fav player, and as much as I wanted Italy to beat France, the celebrations were sad to see a legend like him leave like that and I put disgust on both Zidane and Materazzi for acting like that in such an important situation.

the bottom line is, if the insult was racist, and proved to be, Materazzi should simply be banned from football, as unlikely as that might seem, it is the right thing to do to set not only an example but punish him for provoking a legend out of his career in a miserable way.

it was this thread, and whats the problem? he shouldnt say hes mentally ill and i hope his career ends in shame and disgrace for one.
two, whats wrong? u finally see how arrogant he is?

[VivaItalia]

lol i cant believe u think he is not, arrogance is all over zidane when u look at him, just look at this final only, the arrogant guy didnt even smile a bit at canavaro when shaking hands, after the 90 mins, he didnt even shake hands with him OR the referees, he just walked away..

This is true, He was arrogant! Cannavaro came close to him to show his concern when his shoulder was injured and he didn't even look at him!
What the hell was wrong with him that day?! Was he in a war or something?!? Was he mentally involved or what?!

Nothing would lessen his capabilities on the field and as a player. He is in my all time 11 players list. I am a fan of his skills forever, but not his temper.

He was absolutely arrougant and co-cky that day. I watched the scene 5 times and what Materazzi said seemed true. I just wanna know what bad words he called Zidane.

[VivaItalia]

The rest of the post isn't yours but the title. I can't believe you wrote Zidane is arrogant, I just can not, specially you say you love this guy. Whoever love this game and seen Zidane knows what kind of personality he has.

That's good to know how you classify people.

I love the way he plays, not the way he buttheads!
He was arrogant during the game. There was something wrong with him. up to you if you wanna deny it.

You showed before you are biased. I don't blame you to see every thing negative on a player who suffer your beloved team the most. What I saw was "he was the best player of the pitch till he ruled out".

BTW, In your book Daei must be the most "khaki" player with that huggggggggge ruge carrying around.

In my opinion and I am gonna repeat what I posted in the other thread, Materrazi is an animal and he should be banned from soccer before he hurts other players...There is no justification for materrazi to disrespect zidane, this laat guy has no right to disrespect one of the best players in the world..

did zidane have resprect for the referee or canavaro?
en Hajagha, plzzz stop the biased thing ur the most biased one around

[IranPuma]

who cares if the ref calls it a foul or not, every player has a breaking point with annoyance from a certian player...that specific italian player is always playing dirty, maybe it pissed him off late in the game....its a part of football, but a dirty part of it, and knowing from experience i been in sum ****ed up conversation with defender for playing like that, its part of the sport...but no one likes it.


btw the biased Italian fans r quite funny in here =D Zidane is not innocent, but theres NO WAY that defender is innocent, in any form or shape

Yeah I agree, these Zidane lovers are in a big state of denial.

It's sad that if someone's name is Zidane or Karimi, they can so whatever shit they want! and people like Samba and Haji back them up!

It's sad and shameful.

[The-Iron-Ghost]

VivaItalia look at Zidane and look at Materazzi man, Materazzi is renowned as a dirty player, Zidane is a humble player i dont think just cuz he held zidanes shirt thats why he headbutted him, come on be realistic how many defenders have held his shirt bought him down for a foul or a penalty? ALOT, materazzi did more then hold his shirt to get a reaction like that from ZIDANE.

[Ridi-Q-Lus]

at first i thought zizou was waiting for the ref to leave and that he had made up his mind about hittin the guy, but when you look at the tape, he is just joggin back and yet at the same time listening to materazzi, but I guess the last thing he said ticked him off really bad so then suddenly he turned around and did wat he did; Zizou is retiring, so i guess any punishment for him would be pointless, but Materazzi should be punished, but he wont, because Zizou wont say wat he said exactly (his agent said it himself).
