>walk of shame. Are you kidding me? The dude left with a bang.

In his defence. He will always be remembered for THAT final, he will be remembered more for this than 2 world cups. No-one remembers Materazzi except when this is brought up.

Ends in disgrace? You joker! Ends as a legend!

I respect him for what he did....

Zidane's reaction to Matarezzi's comment about his family is better than winning 100 World cups

Made him even more of a legend to bow out in a world cup final after he scored an absolute perfect panenka, then thinks screw it I'm headbutting someone as a last hurrah what a guy 👏👏👏👏

Mother is above everything

You can't blame him.Materazzi made fun of his family

Zidane set an example of the way a real man should behave. A good role model in the age of fake narratives and hypocrisy.

Zidan is a LEGEND ❤ Respect for standed for his family.

Funny how Materazzi and Zidane are the two who scored.

People saying Materazzi is only known for this moment, have no idea how good he actually was. He was one of the greatest center backs of his generation, he won literally everything, including that Inter treble, and also scored a lot of goals for a center back.

It doesn't matter zidane is still the greatest

Lets be honest, who actually remembers Materazzi anyway. We all cheered when zidane put him on the floor

I salute this man He is a fucking Legend

He was man enough to do the right thing at the biggest stage of the world!

gangsta shit right there.

Pride comes before everything.

He left the fame because of his family, religion dignity. Put yourself in his place if you really respect your family and religion. That stupid deserved that. I love and respect his action Zidane 😍😍😍

After the World Cup my coworkers were headbutting each other at every little verbal dispute 😅

zidane will be remembered as football legend and materazzi will be remembered as that dude who got headbutted .

Materazzi made the mistake but got away with it. Zidane didn’t he ended his career in some fashion. I’ve never seen a better head butt

If I was zidane I’d do it again for Force power 9000

Never mess with mother

Are you kidding ,walk of shame it was legendary

Anybody that plays soccer knows there are those types of lowlife players who provoke and have no respect. Judging from his pitiful response and confession it sounds like Materazzi is one of those. If he had any class at all he would at least apologize for causing the incident. When you're playing soccer there are those guys that will just bug, pull your shirt when waiting for corners, sneak little elbows and talk sh-t. I can empathize with Zidane because these guys get under your skin and they normally always get away with it. The only thing that's too bad is considering the timing of the incident. He probably should of let this one go. Another thing to consider is how pathetic some of the players have gotten in recent years. The 2018 World Cup is on right now and in almost every game you have players taking dives and feigning injuries to draw cards. There just seems like there is little class anymore. Did Zidane show class when he did the headbutt? Not exactly, but at least he didn't jump on the ground and start rolling around like an idiot pretending to be hurt so he could get another player kicked out of the game.

Legend!

I frm India..Love you always zidane sir

0.44 cool guy ever seen in football. 3.00 coolest ever guy seen in football.

it was total materazzi's mistake

Boy deserved it. Zidane is the perfect player

12 years ago

If you are not a french person you can not understand.

I would have done the same thing. 10 years later

I NO the Algerian people Got hot blod

French goal scorer headbutts Italian goal scorer!

Poor Zidane

Ridateci la nostra Gioconda!!!!

Wtf ?? He became immortal , he is the man .. zidane is the man !

If someone insult your mother & sister what will you do as a human

If you look at the final in 2000 between these two you have to admit these two teams were in a far better place then and so was football in 2000 , a far better range of quality with less hype and less money . I’m embarrassed by football and footballers like Neymar and c Ronaldo these days

Zidane origin =ALGÉRIA 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿💪💪

Materazzi was known to be a jerk on the football field. And saying bad things about another perosns mom or sister is idiotic. so yes, Materazzi deserved the headbutt. I'm glad Italy won, but Zidane may have lost it for his country.

It was a shocking moment. Zidane will be more known now for the headbutt rather than France winning to France 98

No emotional intelligence. When he could have just let this go, keep playing as he was and likely win the World Cup, THEN go to Materazzi’s face and laugh out loud

When the World Cup is at stake, u can’t simply be that stupid. As defender I like to go under the skin of opponents players, specially when they are good players. When they are good psych them out. It works most of the time.

The smashing pumpkins

Dislike for being soft not showing the actual headbutt.

I really can't understand all this hatred for materazzi, zidane said that if he wanted he could have his shirt after the game and he replied I'd prefer your sister. Ok we can spend hours talking about how much this is a bad taste answer, etc. but let's not forget that we are at A WORLD FINAL and that it is obvious and right that there is hatred and competition between the players and that Materazzi's response is not like that " absurd "indeed it is quite understandable and to tell the truth (at least in my opinion) it was zidane who was absolutely wrong by responding to an offense with violence (which as we later saw did not lead to anything good). however, during an interview with Materazzi 6/8 months ago they talked a little about what happened and asked him if he had met Zidane again after the incident, he said that he had seen him maybe 1/2 times but without having us never really talked about it and then added that anyway if he saw him now he would just compliment him on the fantastic player he was and the fantastic coach he is right now

‘Zidane’s career ends in disgrace’ are you fucking serious his career ends in not the best way but good enough to send france to the final he will always be remembered for his talent wished I saw him play but didn’t he may have did that but he was the person who I only knew had an amazing career but didn’t know it was that good I never knew about matterrazi until this but I don’t care at all Zidane is one of the greatest this never changes everything this only adds one history that he would want to forget

I wonder what was the unpleasant rumour about zidane?

Materazzi should of shut his mouth

They wouldn't show a flop...... Lol

For no discernible reason? Really?

What if Materazzi died for getting headbutt? 😋An evil would have demised from the earth🤣🤣🤣

An aging Italian team on its last legs and a French team even older who came out of retirement , both teams there in the final because of the lack of attacking, zidane dragging France to the final with penalties etc and Italy spurred on by the Italian scandal at home who despite a great performance in the quarter and semi albeit diving their way to a second round victory over Australia were poor in the final , a very poor World Cup only remembered for good German organization and zidane s walk of shame.
