I call BS on his terrorist excuses.

"I'm ignorant, I don't know what an Islamic Terrorist is"
Wait, we've gone from terrorist to Islamic terrorist, looks like you have some idea then...

And it's sister now instead of Mother, well, I can believe that, in fact I can believe his story about why he wouldn't insult mothers, sister it is then :mellow:

This now seems to have escalated to a whole new level

That is a pretty racist and ignorant comment made. But I do love how even though he arguably lost them the World Cup, France still seems to love Zidane.

LOL! World rankings are out and guess where Australia was ranked!

33.

:lol:

Surely the WC is the perfect time to reset the rankings and sort them out by how they go in the tournament. FFS, there's 32 teams in the WC and Australia couldn't crack it to rank inside that.

Yeah the FIFA rankings are pure shit, Mexico is like 5th overall over some teams that we can't even beat.

About Materazzi, the guy is an asshole, no surprise there...but I honestly believe that they are trying to blow this out of proportions to try to get Zidane off the hook...there is no excuse about the headbutt and I totally disagree with what Materazzi did, but zidane who has been playing for many years should know that 99.5% of the time, the referees will never ever see the first agression, they only see whoever retaliates (spelling) to the 1st agression.

But seriously, is there anything FIFA can do now? I mean, Materazzi is world champ...what can FIFA do about that?

Un avocat français veut saisir la justice pour faire annuler la finale du Mondial de football perdue par la France face à l'Italie, en demandant aux juges de déterminer les conditions dans lesquelles Zinédine Zidane a été exclu, a-t-on appris mercredi auprès de Me Méhana Mouhou.
Cet avocat aux barreaux de Rouen et Paris veut saisir en référé le tribunal de grande instance de Paris "afin de faire auditionner le quatrième arbitre et toute personne ayant directement ou indirectement disposé d'une information ayant conduit à la sanction de Zinédine Zidane", exclu de la finale après un coup de tête asséné au joueur italien Marco Materazzi.

Cette "procédure en constitution de preuve en vue de la manifestation de la vérité" vise à "déterminer si le quatrième arbitre a pris sa décision en fonction d'un moyen illégal, qui est le recours à la vidéo", a expliqué Me Mouhou, qui compte "avoir tout finalisé en fin de semaine prochaine".

"Si le quatrième arbitre s'est déterminé en recourant à un moyen illégal, la finalité de l'action judiciaire est l'annulation du match", a précisé l'avocat qui dit agir "au nom de plusieurs clubs de football" dont il n'a pas voulu citer le nom.

Expertise contradictoire et de droit commun Selon Me Mouhou, "si le juge détermine qu'on a eu recours à un moyen illégal, il faut en tirer les conséquences. Ca veut dire que Zidane n'aurait jamais dû être sanctionné et personne ne peut dès lors prédire la fin du match qui doit donc être rejoué".

L'avocat a expliqué sa saisine d'un tribunal français par le fait que la Fédération internationale de football (Fifa) a son siège en Suisse mais dispose d'une représentation en France. Il a justifié en outre sa procédure devant une juridiction de l'ordre judiciaire et non sportif comme la commission de discipline de la Fifa ou le Tribunal arbitral du sport (TAS) "afin que l'expertise que je sollicite soit contradictoire et de droit commun".

Il pense d'ailleurs "que la justice va pouvoir donner des éléments d'information à la commission de discipline et au TAS". La Fifa, qui va ouvrir une enquête disciplinaire contre le capitaine français, a assuré lundi que la vidéo n'avait pas été utilisée pour l'exclure, affirmant que le quatrième arbitre, l'Espagnol Luis Medina Cantalejo, avait vu l'incident "en direct sur la pelouse et en a avisé l'arbitre, et l'arbitre a pris sa décision, point barre".

Zinédine Zidane devrait donner sa version des faits mercredi soir sur la chaîne de télévision Canal Plus.
I can't translate everything but it says that a lawyer sues the FIFA for illegal use of video and wants the annulation of the final. :lol:
