hi everybody 1st congratulations 2 italy.
i don't know y zizo had made dis 5ososan 2n da 25er match hail3abo fi 7iato and then he will retire

I so wanted France to win but no he had to act act like a typical male "loser" in the biggest and most significant game of his career. What did that macho act achieve, nothing. He should have realised the effect this would have on the morale of his team. As the captain of his team, he now carries the blame for crushing the hopes of his entire country. It is a shame to have such a wonderful career tarnished in this way. He will dwell on this mistake for a very very very long time.
Congratulations to Italy but I did not want them to win because Australia lost unfairly to them.

we never know what that italian player said to zidane, he maybe humiliated him and thats why zidane couldnt control his acting. But am not saying that it was right, but done 's done we cant blame zidane 4 that! France didnt loose beacause of him!

And by the way Zidane got today the price from Fifa for the best player, congratulation zizou we'll miss you aloot, you're a grea8 player!!!

ya zizo ya gamed walla yehimak we all know tht ur a gr8 player and we will always remember u as 1, no matter wat hpens. anyway the referee was very bad yesterday, so nvm ya zizo inta il a7san and u deserve he golden ball award....luv ya ya zizo inta w henry.

i really think that zidane deserves wat happened to him yesterday cuz he hit that player on purpose AND i think that italia deserves to win

i can't belive zidane did that! i rally truly love him as a really good player..! he ended his career in shame! i wanted france to win really bad! but i can't beleive zidane i am soo ashamed..! BOO HOOOO!

france should winn and they are great

Hello.....congratualation for Italy and hard luck for France.
ZIZO deserves what happened to him because he chose this shameful end by himself. france doesnt deserve to win from the first place and they were just lucky to reach the final match.
the referee was great last night, don't you agree Hanousheh?

NOBODY BEATS BRAZIL N PROSPERS:P

zidane iz a legend, italy iz soo weak marco even fell down cuz the headbutt was soo strong.

DONT MESS WITH ZIZO ITALIANZ EVER AGAIN

don't put the blame on Zidane 100%
that stupid italian must've said something real bad to him...and Zidane is a high tempered person, also he was exhausted...

I love you Zidane...YOU ARE THE BEST

Italians got lucky...that's all

if Zidane stayed, they won't dream of winning !!!

I SOOOOOOOOO wanted france 2 WIN!
I really think they deserved it! they played 100 % better! Da italiens are actors n crap actors 2 ! We will find out what the fool said 2 zidane! I still think he rocks :D

zinedine zidane is the best player in the whole wolrd and it shows because he's voted the best player of the worldcup 2006 and rewarded with the golden ball, thank you very much for the loser and the jalous people who says bad things about him. go go go zidane i'm proud of you and for all you've done and i'm proud to be algerian

according to british newspaper the reason why zidane attacked materazzi 's beac. that italien player called zidane for a " terrorist"

everything's possible.. zizou you re the best!

.....clearly the player provoked him in a very bad way, because why would zidane wanna end everything like that, im not encouraging what he did but its understanble.
for the game france was doing great towards the end and they so could have won without any diffuculty cuz italy was losing it even after zidane left. i personally dont feel that italia earned it simply because they fake alot and what that player did was the dirtist trick in soccer. they won on shootout...which is the worst possible way to win. but whatever they won and condralutions to them.
Zidane his fans still love him and he had a great career and not because some guy provoked him, his long great career will not be overshadowed by a minute of misconduct.

It's a shame because I wanted France to win not Italy but I'm sure the Italian players may have focused on Zidan's weakest point just to force him out of the game by getting on his nerves that's why he striked that guy.
This year only Zidan, Podolsky and C Ronaldo are the best players good luck to them.

Congratulation ZIDANE !!! YOU HAVE BEEN GREAT TO THE LAST MINUTE !!! YOU ARE MAGNIFICENT !!! WE LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT !

Gooo ITALYYYY & GERMANYYYYYY but I like ITALY much much much better

Forza Italia!!!
Italia deserved to win coz the only real goal was Matterazzi's goal when France is able to score only on penalty.

And french soccers are also good divers and fakers,they dont how to play football,its not a real team coz without Zidane they're nothing.Italy have a dream team all of her players are real stars.
By the way,stop defend a country when this country doesnt like black and arab people except when they win for them

Viva Italia Forza Azzurri!!!!!

ALL I CAN SAY is i love zozo..and that italian sucksss!!!! GGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOO FRANCE..WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU ZIDANE

umm cute girl...germany is looong out and italy won.. lol where have u been?????

Right IVE GOT A LOT to say about this subect!
1) ZIDANE IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST FOOTBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME! (as proven by the best player award granted to him by french president chirac!)

2)Zidane did NOT headbutt him!!!!!he used his head and smacked Materazzi (the racist) in the chest! get it right ya?!

3) Zidane had every right to do what he did and i see him as a symbol of power and a true hero like many millions of other people see him! Because he stood up for his beliefs, culture and morals and that is MORE important than football!

4) Matarazzi had firstly grabbed hold of Zidane's twisted and dislocated arm that he had injured during the game by an italian player, then Zidane simply shrugged the player off, Matarazzi continued his sly and evil game and started to swear at him and call him a DIRTY TERRORIST a F****** MUSLIM at which point Zidane looked down on him and walked away, however as all the camera's saw that racist Matarazzi followed Zidane and started inuslting his 'sharaf' and members of his female family, then Zidane used his head.

5) Italy are the loosers not Zidane. People in FRANCE and all around the world still love Zidane and by doing what he did he proved to the world that he is not only THE BEST AND MOST EXCELLENT PLAYER but also the BEST AND MOST RESPECTFUL individual since he stood up for his morals, religion and culture after being provoked by the RACIST ITALIANS!

SHAME ON ALL ARABS WHO STAND UP WITH ITALY AFTER THEY INSULTED YOUR RELGION AND CULTURE SHAME ON U A MILLION TIMES!

lol calm down salma!??!? shame on arabs for giving lame excuses for their actions is more like it..

so how do u know he sed u terrorist?!they just put that out there to defend his actions its soooo obvious

and zidane had to go and be an Arab and hit him with his head..the thing im askin is..y his head? couldnt he have used his hands?!!

u go italy...!!!congrats on the great game!!

its sooo like Arabs to bring politics into the game...cant a game just be a game? just let it go geeeeez...its football not politics ball?

its true materazzi called zidane a terriost wht a racist waleg plz show the whole world who is a terriost

angel u thick idiot..zidane couldnt use his hands coz one of his arms was dislocated..duhhhhh!!

The cameras were zoomed in and slowed down and experts lip read what materazzi said..ITS NOT HARD TO KNOW THE TRUTH..the only terrorists are the italians..u all forgotton MUSSILINI? we didnt bring politics into football..italians started it..zidane was just playing football there was no need for any of this..

go to this website and read what the italian said to zidane.. no more to be said after the sick italian comment..read for ur self!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=395046&in_page_id=1770

Stop all,Zidane isnt proud to be an algerian coz he live in sapin and he left his parents and his all familiy live in public housing unit in Marseille(south of France)and he wear a red bracelet of kabalah...stop defend a fake champion like this and even if Materrazzi insulted him,he had to score for France totake a real and beautiful revenge...but France doesnt know how to score and they need penalty to score!

So arabs stop defend an soccer that doesn't give a toss to be an arab!An stop to defend a violent action,football means also self control.

Italy win the world cup that 's it....Forza Italia!!!

P.S:and France also is racist,I live in and everyday I see racist action towards immigrants France like immigrants only when they win for them dont forget that...and France with Great Britain is responsible of what's going on Middle East nowadays so alla arabs stop difend countries who dont even like you

CONGRATULATIONS ITALY!!!!!
i wanted them 2 win, cuz at first i was with BRAZIL but they got out of the world cup because of FRANCE, and that made me mad like many other..that's way i am with ITALY and it won anywayz........woooohooooo
you can't say if zidane stayed france would have won, that's so pathetic and stupid 2 say. ITALY HAD ALREADY WON 3 WORLD CUPS IN THE PAST, and this is its FOURTH!!
anywayz in the free shots is around the time zidane got out, so even if he scored one ITALY was already higher byt a point!
plus he is not the only good player, there are lots on the france team. maybe he did do a stupid thing, BUTTT...he is NOT respponsible 4 ITALY winning, and them losing!!
ITALY IS REALLY GOOD, DON'T FORGET THAT!!!!!! and they WON, YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, but be happy 4 them OR hate them if u were with FRANCE!!lolz

i wanted france to wins sooo bad but hey what can you do. and about zaidan she should have knocked him dead la italian because he made a racist comment to him, he said that he was one of the terrorist.
gooooo 7abibie zaidan wa inta rafi3 rass al arab kilon we love u

materrazi said to zidane "son of a terriost wh***" materrazi u are the only terriost and ur family i wish ur dad died also

EXCUSE ME! i cant beleive that there are arabs out there who are sticking up with someone who had inuslted their culture and religion!!!!
Why the hell would u stand up for materazzi after he insulted ur culture?! doesnt that show how uncililsed he is...and so what if zidane isnt proud of being an arab he hasnt changed his name or his religion. He still stands up for his family (even tho some people are saying he left his family) which is bizarre. I dont think zidane left his family, and no matter hwat zidane is aware that he is arab and muslim.
As for people who are saying he brought poplixs into this well u must be thick or completly retarted Zidane didnt bring politisc into this materazzi did by calling him a terrorist and insulting his family and origin!
I dont think u would let it go lightly if you were insulted in the way zidane was so to those idiots who are trying to be all hard and cool and sticking up for a racist materazzi they are completly ignorant and are in denial of their culture! not zidane who produly smakced materazzi for the sake of his culture!

Im writing this article in the point of view of an anti racist, if zidane had passed such comments to materazzi and his origin i wud rite the same abuot zidane and more coz hes a muslim and not allowed to insult others religions and cultures! If zidane had insulted christianity and italy then the whole world would have revolted against him, but because its islam and arabs no one cares and even the traitors the muslim arabs or even christian arabs have decided to stand up for materazzi- complete ignorance and uneducated is all i have to say about that geek who calls herself angel eyes..haha what a name should be more like devil eyes! lol

italians only brought politics into the game..if the italian dude didn't say anything..zaidain would go on with the game! i just don't understant the limits of italians..and why they have to say sstuff about muslims..who cares! THEY WERE IN A GAME! i really wanted france to win..and as soon as teri henry and zaidian left..i knew that the game was over for France..because italians are very goood with penelty kicks..and the french were one player short....and i wish the # 20 was a better kicker..he's the one who missed it! ugghhh.anyway..koolaha naseeb..WE STILL LOVE YOU ZAIDAN

o and FIFI you are 100% right...GO YOU! LOL

heeeeeeeeeeey all arabs i'm so happy to win italy also italy is the best best best zuuzuu he become big loser loser asshole this play was his last game and he ends shamefully mettarazi go go!! i know he is the best player in the world but it's not good for that even if he called to him terrorist it was good for him to tolerate !!!!!!! italy goooo!that is lying .metarazi not said to him terrorist every time i was love him but now i hate him he become bull !!!! lol go italy

WUT r u talking about.Najma..i didn't get 1 thing you TRIED to say!lol

After Zidane has gone France will nomore win! All the players are black we could say that it is Ghanna or Togo teams not France! But french people like those because they bring them the cup! I hate you France!!!!Go to hell! Viva la Squadra!

U KNOW WHAT I HATE i hate it when arabs like lebnese people and all them people ffrom that way r in love with italy or atleast most of them love italy 3ashan italy ya3ny there cute o class i think there garbeg racict ZIDANE shit is worth mo than italy

ZIDANE IS king of france

Zidane sruck Materazzi after he called him a "terrorist" and described his sister as a "w****". He has dignity and he had to protect his honor.
France deserved to win for playing a fair game unlike those Italian thugs.

najma i wish u die 2day and if u dont i will kill u tommrow how can u stick up with a racist that dissed ur culture oh i forgot u dont care s*** i wish materazzi dies zidane i wish u killed him go zidane

umm FIFI honey? i have more pride and dignity than to respond to ur low life comments

arabs all of u just read evry post...not one of u can respond bi adab

i did read the news article and ok zidane has a right to stay frustrated but u kno wat he shudve done?stuck by the game played it and won it..then hit materazzi!

i still dun believe hittin is the solution for anything and materazzi did exactly wat he wanted..make him kicked out and guess wat? turns out hitting was a bad idea!

all of ur comments r "oh u racist" "oh shame on u"...who the hell are all u to judge?!? GEEEZ get a life!!!
and p.s ..zidane duznt admit hes a muslim..so i dun think its religion that hes defending..its his mum which he has the right to..but hes not representing anythin of our culture to tell u the truth

Marco the Italian player provoked Zidane by telling him: You Filthy Muslim!! This is what made him go crazy and hit him!!
The Italian player is known for his attitude in provoking other players, it was just a smart plan by their coach ! and it seemed to work very well!

i loye you so much zidane plzzzzzzzzzz send me latter plzzzzzzzzzz
soso

zidane send me msg in my amail of yiu see my letter

sos_123_123@hotmail.com just zidane

the imp thing that ITALY won baby,,,,,nanananan i actually didnot want france to win i hate them...
FORZA AZZURRI ;) go italy go....
even the italian players are awesome not like frensh players..

First of all Zidane did not react this way because he was an Arab, he acted like this because of Testerone, like many males who act first and think later. His reaction might have been expected and even encouraged any other time. He was provoked and he gave the exact reaction the Italians wanted. He should have controlled himself in one of the most important matches of his career and acted like the bigger man. For anyone saying he was protecting his honour, this socalled honour was in no danger, but in fact the Italian showed that he had no morals and no honour. I do feel sorry for Zidane but goodness he did himself no favours. I hope his mum gets better.
Religion had no effect in any other games, dirty tactics and so on yes but not religion. However if the rumours about what has been said are true, it is disheartning to an arab that a thug like the Italian player can work this to his advantage. When are we ever going to rid of this reputation and stigma that follows arabs everywhere? are we ever going to be known as more than mindless terrorists?.

Urm...i think u should get a life! im allowed to give my opinion and if my comments (which are no lower than urs) were really low life and u didnt want to repsond to them then you wouldnt have written back!
haha you really are a Geek and a hypocrite coz ur contradicting yourself! read your comments agen HUNNY! lol! GO ZIDANE WE LOVE U COZ U ARE A MUSLIM AND AN ARAB, WE ALL LOVE U FOR DEFENDING YOUR SHARAF AND HONOUR WHICH IS PART OF ISLAM! ha shame on you geek angel eyes! we're not waiting for you to like him i wouldnt give a donkeys arse if u did or not im giving my opinion and the majority of people english, american, arab, candian, chinese, idnain 90% of people agree with me on the other article web pages and this, if u dont agree then dont bring it out on me its not my fault! Cherio'z GEEK!
