Astonishing result. Zidane was sent off for an off-the-ball incident in which Materazzi was butted in the chest. The game was Zidane's last game as a professional though...
Person of the match I choose is Gattuso. If you see his gutsy playing, you can understand why his nickname is "Ringhio". It means a mad dog's growl. Haha. His contribution to the team in this World Cup was very great.But surprisingly, he seems to be a funny and facetious guy. After the game, Italy's players were cavorting of course. But those of them were too funny! I thought it was "the merry Italian"! And the most humorous person was Gattuso. I liked his character.
It is becoming a hot topic what Materazzi said to Zidane. There is a lot of speculation. A media of Brazil that read it using lipreading said that he called Zidane's sister a whore. The Associated Press and Britain newspaper Guardian said that he called Zidane a terrorist. BBC said it was insult to Zidane's mother. A French TV station said it was insult to Zidane himself who is an Algerian immigrant child. I can't believe! Of course, Zidane's behavior was very bad but if it is true, shame of you, Materazzi. Many soccer players, especially Portugal and Italy, fight the game with "words", not playing. I often say I don't like both of teams because they often do typical bad things of soccer, dirty plays, simulations, complaining to judges too much... But I came so close to liking Italy team because they did very very well in the final game. But Materazzi made me lose this feeling. He is terrible as a player, no, as a human. But it seems that no Italian blames him and he is a hero in Italy. It's hard to believe. And most terrible thing is that such a behavior goes unmentioned in the soccer world.
