That's dumb and unprofessional. What kind of a last memory has Zidane left in the minds of his fans with his inglorious butt?... There is much speculation about what Materazzi said to provoke Zidane's reaction – as if anything he had said could justify such a reaction in front of a billion 'festively-dressed' fans."
