Haven't had enough football yet?

There is still lots to read about the World Cup tournament, and especially the final. You'll remember that we talked about headbutting just the other week, and look, Zidane gave you an excellent illustration of what the word means.

It's interesting how rumours (AmEng rumors) spread. A couple Italian papers are quoting the Guardian, an English paper, as saying that it was Materazzi calling Zidane a terrorist that provoked the headbutt that got him sent off. The Guardian itself says nothing of the kind, however. The most they said was that 'He had surely been provoked - there were suggestions last night that Materazzi had called him "a terrorist".' This hardly seems definitive evidence, I think.

What's your opinion of the events?
