What it feels like?

Even 3 days after the World Cup is over people still talk about the finals between Italy and France. The most favourite topic of course about the famous headbutting to the chest. If Maradona goal in the final we call it 'Hand of God' so what we gonna call this latest sensation? any idea....

"On July 9, 2006, Zidane became one of only four footballers to achieve the feat of scoring in two different World Cup final matches (he scored twice in the 1998 FIFA World Cup final), sharing the honour with Pelé, Paul Breitner, and Vavá. He scored in the seventh minute from the penalty spot using a seldom-seen chip shot. He nearly headed in the ball during the first period of extra time but it was saved by Gianluigi Buffon.

He was sent off for violent conduct after headbutting Italy's goalscorer, Marco Materazzi, in the chest in the 110th minute. The game ended in a 1-1 draw and Italy won the championship after a penalty kick shootout.

Since both players refused to comment on the incident, there are various allegations about what led to Zidane's violent outburst. His agent, Alain Migliaccio has claimed that a "very serious" comment by Materazzi provoked the attack. Reportedly, the deaf forensic lip-reader Jessica Rees was employed to analyze the video sequences with the help of an Italian translator. According to these reports, Materazzi spoke in Italian - a language understood by Zidane due to his time spent with Juventus F.C. - and first told him: "Hold on, wait, that one's not for a nigger like you." As the players walked forward, Materazzi allegedly said: "We all know you are the son of a terrorist whore." Then, just before the headbutt, he was seen saying: "So just fuck off." According to Brazilian TV Rede Globo, a lip-reader claimed that Materazzi twice called Zidane's sister a prostitute. "

Materazzi denied the report or at least half of it.

"According to Milan based La Gazzetta dello Sport, Materazzi admitted that he insulted Zidane, but recounted the incident as follows: "I held his shirt for a few seconds only, then he turned to me and talked to me, jeering. He looked at me with a huge arrogance and said: 'If you really want my shirt, I'll give it to you afterwards'. I replied with an insult, that's true." He stressed that the insults were "the type that we've heard before so many times on the pitch, and sometimes we don't even notice it".

Responding to reports that he had called Zidane a "dirty terrorist" or "son of a terrorist whore", Materazzi insisted that the insult was not racist in nature, and that he did not even know what a terrorist was. He also rejected claims that he had insulted Zidane's mother: "I certainly didn't talk about Zidane's mother because to me the mother is sacred". Zidane's mother had been taken ill to hospital hours before the World Cup final."

Another note:
On July 10, 2006, Zidane was awarded the Golden Ball for the best player in the 2006 World Cup. The winner was selected by a poll of journalists covering the tournament; Zidane polled 2012 points, ahead of Fabio Cannavaro, who polled 1977 points. Most votes were cast during half-time of the final match; voting closed that night at midnight.

Because of both sides refused to talk about exactly what happened, we can only depends on this reports to at least try to understand why a great player such as Zidane do something like that. Hopefully he will talk soon. In the mean time hail rumours.

Hmm...
