According to Globo TV (from Brazil) which hired lip reading experts to watch footage of the game, on at least two occasions, Materazzi called Zidane's sister "a ******* whore", screamed at Zidane that he was a "terrorist" and that a "half-Algerian had no place playing for France in the World Cup."
If that is actually true, it sort of flies in the face of FIFA and UEFA's attempts to remove racism from the game, especially in Spain and Italy. Their anti-racism campaign has been directed at fans, so perhaps they need to redirect their efforts ...

If the reason behind it all was where Materazzi called Zidane a terrorist and dissed his family then props to Zidane for the headbutt, Materazzi's lucky there he only got a headbutt I would have beaten him down and jumped on him with my spikes
