Djourou has also been upgraded to number 20.

Yes, you are obviously fully innocent, and Zidane head-butted you in the World Cup final because you were there. Please. Anyone who's played any sort of competitive team sport knows that something was said. Don't play like you're a golden-boy.

That is a massive swerve.

I think the first was a penalty. Materazzi clipped his leg and he went over. He made it look a little dramatic, yes, but there was contact. The other was more of a penalty but the ref had a worse view of it. But hey, that's football. EDIT - Theories: http://mondoweiss.observer.com/2006/07/the...-to-zidane.html

Apparently the new theory is that Materazzi said something about Zidane's mother. My mate told me that someone on another board reckons after pinching his nipple Materazzi said words to the effect of 'your mother likes it like that'. In other news about it:

Apparently The Guardian reckons he called Zidane a terrorist or something to that effect.

How exactly is it a joke?

I hate how Johnny talks like he's some Italian who's been waiting for his homeland to return to glory since '82.

Of course. We also have France and Italy in our Euro2008 Qualifying Group. TIME TO WHIP ASS. Why do England ALWAYS get piss-easy groups? It's ridiculous.

Anyone care to venture a guess at the headlines tomorrow? I'm going to go for 'Zinsane'.

They've been diving a lot of the tournament, thats just the most obvious time they did it. It hasn't just been Italy to be fair, but they've used "gamesmanship" to their advantage a lot. Football has just degenerated, sadly. Every nation is guilty of it. Players don't try to win the ball anymore, they try to run into the man and get a free kick. Players aren't concerned with beating a man in the area and scoring a goal, they just want the penalties.

I think they'll bottle it. They won't want the league to go to shit so they'll let them off the hook with a £1,000 fine. If you've got the power to fix that many fixtures I'm sure they can put a little pressure on the trial.

My Spurs fan mate is going to that game and invited me...you're not my friend are you?
