One or two readers may remember our bilingual post about the big Zidane incident in the World Cup Final: La-La. Most of us had already forgotten about the villainous man. But no! Materazzi is back, and now he's telling the Italian media exactly what he said to our hero, thus provoking his terrible ire.
From today's El pais, via Reuters, via the Italian media (all of which is owned by Silvio Berlusconi):
El defensa italiano Marco Materazzi ha revelado un año después las palabras exactas que le dijo a Zinedine Zidane en la final de la Copa del Mundo, que provocó que el francés le diera un cabezazo y fuera expulsado del partido. "Prefiero a la puta de tu hermana" fue la frase que desencadenó la ira de Zidane y una de las expulsiones más sonadas de la historia de los mundiales.
So, we guess this is how it played out:
Materazzi pulls on Zidane's shirt. One of many defensive tricks you see in professional soccer.
Zidane says, "If you want my shirt, I'll give it to you after the game."
Materazzi says, "I prefer your whore sister."
Zidane hesitates. Then goes for it.
And Materazzi becomes instantly famous. For a day.
Zidane retires after inspiring blog entries all over the world.
Gotta go. The American Ballroom Challenge (hosted by Marilu Henner) is on PBS right now! OMG.
