Gang, the article Kenny posted indicated that "lip-reading" specialists deciphered the insults....and they were hired by none other than that paradigm of journalistic superiority, the Daily Mail....
I'm waiting to hear what Zidane himself says when he makes his statement.
From a yahoo article on Zidane...
"Zidane's red card was anything but unusual. He was sent off 14 times in his career at the club and international level.
At the 1998 World Cup, he stomped on a Saudi Arabian opponent. Sitting out a two-match ban, he came back to score two goals against Brazil in the final.
Five years ago with Juventus, he head-butted an opponent in a Champions League match against Hamburger SV after being tackled from behind. "

In his defense I would say that great athletes are supremely passionate people, and that one would lose his head like that is not unimaginable. It happens in other pro sports too.
