Verdict is in for ZZ and Meterazzi

[babak_australia]

A good result and i laugh at the fact that ZZ has to do 3 days community service becasue he has schools for kids everywhere, but i guess something had to be given. I hope this can be put aside now and the positives of ZZ's career show more.

loooooool
Community service

[Hajagha]

Showed Zidane class. He wanted to show that he cared, even after his retirement.

Good ending, however FIFA needs to concenterate more about insult in the field.

[VivaItalia]

Fair enough...

This is a f-ckin joke, if it was anyone else besides zidane....they would have been banned for a year with a huge fine and all kinds of other sh*t.

So fifa is applauding what zidane did, i guess next time someone talks sh*t on the field, the players can go punch them in the face cuz fifa will fine BOTH of them

Are they investigating all other RED CARDS in the world cup??

Never in my life have I heard of a player getting a suspension and a fine simply for trash talking on the field!!! Especially considering the fact that he was the one that was physically assaulted on the pitch! FIFA obviously overlooked the fact that Zidane has always had a short fuse and his 14 career redcards are proof of this.

EXACTLY bro, I mean if it was a racist remark then I can understand FIFA trying to send a message and suspend him...but a simple your momma remark and a 2 match ban? What the hell? If they did this in all games there would players banned in almost EVERY single game!!! seriously Italy fan or not...wat a fukkin joke.

faraz jan, i have a reason. Italy is being dealt with unfairly and i get sick of people making a hero out of zidane

He clearly sent the worst message to the world, you cant argue against that. We're gonna see more off the ball violence in the coming years thanks to him. Now its ok to hit someone for talking sh*t and FIFA wont do anything bad to them.

HOW COME THEY'RE NOT INVESTIGATING FIGO'S HEAD BUTT??
SHOULD THEY GO BACK AND FIGURE OUT WHY TOTTI SPIT IN SOMEONE'S FACE BACK IN EURO 2000? He was provoked, lets go back and see what that guy said to him and punish him.

Why not go back and investigate all red cards??

This is bullsh*t and you know it, ZIDANE is being let off the hook too EASY!

de rossi was suspended 4 games in the australia game for an UN-INTENTIONAL elbow

and zidane gets 3 game ban for doing something MUCH MUCH WORSE!

IM SORRY I FAIL TO SEE THE LOGIC IN THAT

[Hajagha]

Now you heard:

After checking FIFA rules, it seems they already have a rule for this incidence and only need to apply it more serious. Telling that, my gut feeling says next world cup will be "abusive language" to be highlighted for officials, like this WC 06 was elbowing, WC 02 was diving,...
Sending-Off Offences
A player is sent off and shown the red card if he commits any of the following seven offences:
1. is guilty of serious foul play
2. is guilty of violent conduct
3. spits at an opponent or any other person
4. denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goalscoring opportunity
by deliberately handling the ball (this does not apply to a
goalkeeper within his own penalty area)
5. denies an obvious goalscoring opportunity to an opponent moving
towards the player’s goal by an offence punishable by a free kick
or a penalty kick
6. uses offensive or insulting or abusive language and/or gestures
7. receives a second caution in the same match
A player who has been sent off must leave the vicinity of the field of play and the technical area.

de rossi was suspended 4 games for an intentional elbow on someone that didnt provoke him. zidane was suspended 3 games for headbutting a player that provoked him. makes sense to me.

What ZIDAN DID was an ASSAULT and ATTEMPTED MURDER!

A hard head butt to the chest area can f-ck up your heart or knock the wind out of you. This could have killed or damaged materazzi's health, do you see justice in that???

answer all my questions b4

othing

[Barandeye2006]

why is there a fine and suspension for trashtalking?
that is unheard of in the history of sport.
