A fairer footballer would be hard to find.

Clearly.

What Zi Zi did was indefensible and he should have risen above such foul rascist bullying, but.......

As reported on BBC

BBC Radio Five Live asked for help from a deaf lip reader, Jessica Rees, who read the words phonetically to an Italian translator.

She deciphered the insult as being "you're the son of a terrorist whore" - a translation also carried by many national newspapers in Britain on Tuesday.

Subtle huh. Its not big and its not clever. Tis a shame it marred a great final and the end of a stunning career. But what for Matterazzi now?

Another one from the Souness school of tackling.

What a nice guy.

If he was found guilty of racist abuse then FIFA have to act!

This is the 11th World Cup I have watched on TV and it finished as being the biggest crock of shit I could have dreaded.

Although half-It, It were usually useless/cheating as v. Oz (apart from against Germs).

France as many with eyes/brains half observed were better in final, but despite about 3 and a bit good games they were (especially Arse Henry) poor.

It/Fra/Eng finished unbeaten.

Ronaldinho etc were shite/my fave of past 12 years Zidane did have some good contributions, but I wish he had thumped with his fist rather than risked his scoring head. (I do not condone unneccessary violence, including banging ex-Ever heart-area).

I liked Eng scoring/a coupla Bra games/1 Argie game/lots of African stuff/lots of Germ warfare/a tiny bit of early Dutch 'left-wing' play.

The tournament was brilliantly staged by Germs/generally cack Eufa-refereed.

IMO verbal insults/pinching nipples/jumping over as if fouled are as illegal as nutting by reality.

We get the footie we deserve, and I blame UK government whom some brain-dead greedy twats keep electing thinking they are sons/daughters of Maggie.

Harold Wilson despite his pipe won WC for England.

Last time It won WC I was happy.

This time it was best ignored.

Hype/money kill truth-quality-morality.

Eufa-Fyffe are there to be removed.

I am happy to see good footie whoever does it.

This was truly the widescreen digital HiDef palimpsest.

As I often say, if the message is good, the medium doesn't matter.

Airdavid,

Terrorism and Racism are indeed different words with different meanings. It is alleged that Materazzi made remarks about Zidane's parentage and being as he originates from Algeria that could be construed as racism.

Nah, apparently Materazzi said "so you're off to Chelsea then?"
