marco materazzi (he doesn’t deserve caps) instigated the attack… this guy is completely without class.
Regardless of what his comment was though, Zidane should have known better than to react this way infront of millions, knowing full well-with his experience he should have known- that his actions could cost his team his expulsion.
To blame Materazzi is to condone the notion that Zidane doesn’t need to be responsible for his own actions, or is exempt from having to have self-control just because something was said to him.
