Materazzi reveals exact words of insult to Zindane


Recommended Posts

Italy defender Marco Materazzi has finally revealed the exact words he used to provoke Zinedine Zidane into headbutting him in last year's World Cup final.

"I prefer the ###### that is your sister," he said in a interview with the TV Sorrisi e Canzoni magazine which comes out on Monday, Italian media reported on Saturday.

Materazzi had previously said that he had mentioned the France midfielder's sister in the verbal jousting between the two in the Berlin final, but had never given the exact words.

Zidane, who retired after the final, was sent off for the headbutt and Italy subsequently won on penalties.

I couldn't stop laughing at all those headbutt .gif files.

anyway totally wrong forum. :laugh:

And I suppose the Chris Benoit thread is in the right board, having been moved here from the Sports Arena?

This is a matter regarding the media, not sports. So spare me, I've been here long enough to know where to post my threads...don't pay attention to the 167 posts...

Thread moved, since soccer is a real sport (pro wrestling is entertainment).

it was out of the game, i think the refree made the wrong decision, so did zidane, but any how, i think italy didnt deserve the cup, and that this topic is in the wrong forum

last time i checked, head butts arent part of football, just because the ball wasn't near them doesn't mean its not a foul / whatever

I'm amazed at how easily goated most of you seem to be. A verbal insult like that would never set me off in a million years. Zidane, and France, deserved to lose solely based on that. Trash talking is part of every sport, deal with it, or quit... like Zidane.

Matrix is a dirty piece of scum and a strong reason as to why I stopped following Inter a few seasons ago. It didn't surprise me that he was invovled in the biggest controversy of the WC. He's probably lying about what he said and even if he isn't it seems a bit pointless to come out with it now. Zidance was justifiably tossed. Regardless of where it happened on the pitch, any intent of that nature is unacceptable and it was the right call. Anyone who lost respect for him because of that probably wasn't a big fan of his in the first place (which is madness). Despite what everyone says, France didn't lose the WC because of that. They lost because of Trez's failure to hit a penalty.

Matrix won the medal, got handed a SerieA title, and casually strolled into another. Time for him (and the critics) to move on.

Zidane should have kept calm, this type of words are normal in every sport...

He should go all crazy and headbutt a guy just because of words in a football (soccer) field... and with all the years he got playing football (soccer) he should know better and be "expecting" things like what Materazzi said to him

    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
