I know this is a bit late, but it just came out today: materazzi spoke to an italian paper about what he said to Zizou..

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/internationals/5315618.stm

Marco Materazzi has finally explained what he said to Zinedine Zidane before he was headbutted by the Frenchman during Italy's World Cup final victory.

Zidane was sent off for the attack and later claimed he was provoked after Materazzi had insulted his mother.

But Materazzi told Gazzetta dello Sport that Zidane's sister was the subject.

He said: "I was tugging his shirt, he said to me 'if you want my shirt so much I'll give it to you afterwards,' I answered that I'd prefer his sister."

Materazzi added: "It's not a particularly nice thing to say, I recognise that. But loads of players say worse things.

"I didn't even know he had a sister before all this happened."

Also what he said kind of doesn't make sense after what we've seen.

after zidane starts to leave you see materazzi screaming out something as if it's an insult.. in that article it sounds as if he said it very politely as if its something innocent..

how do u know he squeezed his nipples? If he did then he would have been sent off.

and why are u guys bringing the whole topic back again?

Italia won :p And what ever materrazi said it doesnt change anything Zidane should have controled his temper FULL STOP.

Materazzi added: "It's not a particularly nice thing to say, I recognise that. But loads of players say worse things."
does it mean he had the right to say it ? :os

It means that Zidane shouldn't have acted so aggressive when he surely knows that these things happen on the pitch, since he's been playing for years and all.

hey u 2

both of them r wrong
but i think materazzi is wrong more than zidane

both have act like kids but materazzi shoudnt have say that ...

"Materazzi set the trap for Zidane with a diatribe of allegedly inflammatory taunts and a less-than-subtle squeeze of the Frenchman's left nipple."

ROME (AP) - Italy's Marco Materazzi said he insulted Zinedine Zidane's sister, revealing nearly two months after the World Cup final what provoked the French star to head-butt him in the chest.

Materazzi reveals jibe
Azzurri question the ban
Zidane still a big hero

In Tuesday's interview with the Gazzetta dello Sport, Materazzi disclosed that after he held his opponent's shirt, Zidane said: "If you want, I'll give you the jersey later."

"I responded that I preferred his sister, it's true," Materazzi said. "It wasn't something nice, true. But luckily there have been dozens of players who have confirmed that a lot worse things are said on the field."

Zidane was sent off after receiving a red card for the head-butt. Italy went on to win on penalty kicks.

Materazzi received a two-game ban for the July 9 incident and will miss Wednesday's rematch of the final, a 2008 European Championship qualifier. Zidane received a three-match suspension, but he retired after the World Cup.

Materazzi said that the Italian federation, in the middle of a match-fixing scandal, told him not to complain about the incident during a FIFA hearing.

"If accepting without raising my voice was the price to pay for having brought home the World Cup, I'm pretty happy to have paid it," Materazzi said.

Asked if the two could make peace, Materazzi said: "You sign a peace (agreement) after terrible wars, so why can't Zidane and I make peace?

"A peace among men, without a lot of publicity. The door to my house will always be open for that. And if Zidane wants, he knows where to find my address."

France captain Patrick Vieira thinks the apologies should go both ways.

"I think Zidane is waiting for Materazzi to apologize also for the insults he used," Vieira said.

Vieira, who is Materazzi's teammate at Inter Milan, said he chatted with him before leaving to join the France squad.

"He told me he is disappointed not to be here," Vieira said. "He's a very cheerful guy, but he loves to wind people up. Sometimes you need to know when to stop."
