Marco Materazzi is after your sister
You might remember Marco Materazzi. As this video patently illustrates, he is a crazy, crazy bastard.
Well, he’s back, talking in a little more detail about exactly what it was that got Zidane so fired up that the midfielder figured it was a good idea to headbutt another human being in the chest in the closing minutes of the fucking World Cup final.
As you might imagine, it involves the sister. Dude, not cool:
“We both spoke and I wasn’t the first. I held his shirt but don’t you think it is a provocation to say that ‘if you want my shirt I will give it you afterwards’?”I replied to Zidane that I would prefer his sister, that is true. I brought up his sister and that wasn’t a nice thing, that is true,” said Materazzi. “Thankfully there are tens of footballers who could confirm that much worse things are said on the field,” added the Inter Milan defender.
If that’s all that was said, I’d be really surprised. Let’s say, just for the sake of argument, that all Materazzi really said was a quick little “Yeah, your sister” quip. Not to drop childhood/high school sports experience as a qualifier here, but Materazzi is right. Worse stuff gets said all the time. I think I heard worse things than that in my U-12 games as a kid, and I know I heard worse things on the high school pitch. Much worse things. Things that would make your ears bleed, things about dead babies and grandmothers and the racial makeup of certain Iowa towns. I’m not proud of it; it was high school. I’m not really proud of anything I did in high school. But nobody was headbutting anybody then, either. Even the really terrible teams, the boarding school squads with two or three girls we always played in the first round of the playoffs - no headbutts. And they would have had every right, as far as I’m concerned.
Zidane, though, didn’t have the right. Not if the only thing he caught was a sister joke. Which, knowing Marco Materazzi, probably isn’t even the tip of the iceberg. It’s tough to say.
Unfortunately, we’ve been left where we started - with a beautifully ludicrous video and little to explain its reason for existence. Which, for the most part, is OK by me.

This is my favorite part:
“I held his shirt, but don’t you think it is a provocation to say that ‘if you want my shirt I will give it (to) you afterwards’?”
Um, no, Marco. I do not think that is a provocation.
“Well, like, I was staring at him, and, like, he said, ya know, ‘Take a picture, it will last longare.’ So I said, ‘I fucked your terrorist muzzer, why don’t you take a picture of your bitch of a zizter?’ and he inexplicably got upset. I did nussing… he began the provocation wiss his comment about picture taking, no?”
Just a few points on this topic:
Hey boobs, when did Materazzi become German? (your terrorist muzzer, I did nussing) Come on dude, get your stereotypical accents right. Sheesh, come on people let’s up the content quality of the posts huh?
And E, you played against GIRLS in high school? That’s both sad and wrong.
Yeah, my senior year, in the first round of Districts, Scattergood Friends boarding school fielded their first soccer team in history. The had two girls. We won 14-0 and got in yelled at by our coach for scoring too much. (We won state for the second time in a row that year, just for the record.)
High school sports. How awesome am I?
Of course you won state, the competition had GIRLS on the team. I think you should have to return your state title immediately (along with your balls and man-card) and be publicly flogged for beating up on girls.
On the other hand, it’s a great story to post in a public forum somewhere, like say a Web site.
Well, they were the first of seven games we had to win to win state, and the only team with girls on it. Though a few more soccer honeys would have been nice somewhere along the way.
