Zizou Update

Materazzi has revealed all. So what happened was, Materazzi grabbed Zidane’s jersey and Zidane said: “If you want it that bad I’ll give it to you after the game”, and Materazzi answered: “I’d rather have your sister”.

That’s it?

Assuming Materazzi is not a stinkin’ liar (big assumption there) we must conclude that Zizou’s response was totally out of proportion to the provocation.

So this dossier has to be handed back to the philosophers, who need to dig through their Sartre and their Camus and figure out just what the heck was going on in Zidane’s majestic, tortured soul when he decided to throw it all away in the closing moments of his career. It is for greater minds than mine to ponder.

I'd heard the jersey grabbing remark before but never materazzi's response
I have to agree w/mr mushrooms on this one: world cup is just one big soap opera!
and we gotta wait another 4 years for more
on the other hand, there is euro 2008 for our "majestic tortured soul" fix
let the count-down begin
