Who are you kidding? Of course he's gonna take it back and he is also not a jerk. The player who he headbutted called him a terrorist and his sister a prostitute, if that was me, I would done a lot more then headbutt him. I say all the power in the world to him
Zidane is right, He is not a machine to play football and tolerate anything the law is careless about! He is so much experienced and it was his inal match when half of the world were seeing him via TV, he did the right thing! We better learn! It was the lesson of this world cup!
He has every right to defend the honour of his family. This was probably a plot on the Italian side to make sure he would not get a penalty shot.
What? Zidane is a jerk? Tolerance is the thing they teach when you're in elementary so that the teachers can handle the kids wild behavior. Stand up and defend for yourself as a grown up. That's what he did and it's totally acceptable. He shouldn't apologize either. The broadcaster should. If they think it could be a harmful incident to children then stop replaying it on TV for God sake.
...i would expect nothing else from a greasy wop like you than the type of comments you made
by the way, i never called you a greasy wop
but even if i did, i am sure you would be ok with it.
by the way, i hear you are sleeping with your sister.
i never said that
Son of a terrorsit whore...Thats what he was called. I mean c'mon dude.
The only sad part is that he did not wait for the match to finish before head butting him. That way the useless rules on things like this in football would not have been able to touch him.
He did what he had to do. Zidame all da way baby!
Zidane is still our hero... he could've dived or faked an injury next time Materazzi came near him like most players did in the WC or tackled him really hard later...but the man has class and rather than a sneak attack he commited a manly act ...it is wrong to punish only one guy while letting the other way go...it says to them what you did was right...as someone wrote in Toronto Star today...It wasn't 'shameful' or 'an ugly end to a great career' or 'a shadow over the game' — all descriptions used recently. It was understandable, excusable and, in a bizarre way, admirable...coz everyonw knows Materrazi is not a baby he knew what he was doing...moreover he immediately knew what he did was wrong and did not complain when the card was shown and he has our respect for it.
The only player in the world, Zidane, who has got the real sports man spirit. But some things, need appropriate action, which he took. Well done Zidane you made all your fans proud, keep kicking those kind of jerks
The Freaking Italian player, I wonder how he would react if somebody did the same thing on the ground. Anyway, All the italian players are just pissed me off.Dirty, Dirty,dirty dirty dirty players in the world.

What a jerk. He 'apologizes' but doesn't take back what he did? In other words, he condones violence for insulting words (and all his supporters are ok with that). This is his lasting example to 'the children' he is so concerned about in his apology. Zidane, you are a loser.
