Are you kidding me?!?!

2 games for what?

It's like the CSA has this weird influence over FIFA or something :rolleyes:

They are trying to "Kick Racism out of Football"
there wa a huge cloud of sh1t around this incident.
They had to hit Materazzi as well...

Did I miss something? Racism? Is that the alleged 'terrorist whore' angle perpetuated in some media reports that even Zidane has dismissed?

Players have talked junk in ALL sports for eons.

fifa should suspend themselves...they made materazzi the villian just because he called zizou's mommy fat....the only player that should have been suspended was zizou ...what a joke...

Have to agree that without iron clad evidence, the rulling is a bit of a joke.

3 for ZZ is about right.

3 games? He would have been charged with ****ing assault on the street.......He should have been given 10 games to set a point. The man is retired anyway. Throw the book at him. As for Matarazzi, I don't really care because he is a thug.

Vicious Head butt on soccers largest stage....retiring player...great time to set an example.

Minimum 10 game suspension.

They should have lent Materazzi's 2 to Figo for his filthy antics. FIFA are setting a pretty feeble precedence for future incidences.

A vicious head butt to the chest which amounts to a hard shove or late tackle w/ shoulder contact. Had he thrown an elbow to the head, or an actual head butt, I'd agree. If you realy want to get technical, let's look to Roony, or Figo. There's your book.

De Rossi got 4 games for an elbow....ZZ should have gotten more.

How ironic that Materrazi got 2 games......the second game of his suspension is a Euro qualifier against France in Paris.

I think FIFA just saved themselves some security headaches.

An elbow to the head is far more dangerous and damaging than a chest butt.

The chest butt just looked ugly; rather have that than a head butt, chopped ankles, of an elbow to the noggin.

And Bingo was his name-o...;)

Must say head butt to chest is not as vicious as De Rossi's elbow to the face IMO though.
Zidane's head butt is no different than a straight arm shove.

Had it had been to his back, it would have been much more severe.
You know, I-Ties and their lack of backbones....:D

Just havin a laugh Fil. ;)

I knew that would wind Regs Up...
zidane should have more, Materazzi should have been fined, at the most, for unsporting behaviour...Not given any suspension at all, considering, as Tuna said, that Figo got fcuk all.

Materazzi is a thug and an animal, he will get his soon enough.
I remember the incident where he could have easily broken Benni McCarthy's leg, and a landed kick and elbow on an AC Milan player, nevermind the walloping he gave Lovenkrands, for Rangers, during the CL last year.
But, he is a world cup winning thuggish animal.

I call bullsh!t. If you say it's no different, then imagine if he had just turned around and straight-arm-shoved him. Would he have received a red? No fcuking way. Would he have received a suspension? Get real. And would we all be talking about it they way we are talking about a head-butt? Give your head a shake.

They are totally different, and that's why FIFA deals with them differently.

Ranger,

You are very clearly the 2nd smartest TTPer on this board.

That is, until Tuesday, when you join Zaurini and KNVB as being just another dumb Mucker.

~À bientôt, Monsieur..

I do.
Every time I piss on a German flag.

So you're siding with the Italians' interpretation eh?
There's a fcuking shock.

Where's Jinky when you need him anyway?

;)

OK.
They are not the same thing.
It's more vicious and I stand corrected.
I guess what I meant was I don't liken it to De Rossi's elbow and I don't liken it to a real Glaswegian handshake.
Had the Scottish kiss been given right to Materazzi's face Zidane would have been way more harshly treated.

Elbow/Head butt to the face - Violent conduct.
Elbow/Head butt to the Chest/Stomach - Violent conduct.

Completetely different levels of violent conduct though is what I was getting at.

Meterazzi's suspesion is bollocks also because he did fcuk all.
I think Sandman nailed it as to why he got anything.

Cheers,
RF

I haven't checked this out, but if Zidane doesn't unretire and get added to the qualifying team for the next World Cup he won't be able to remove the suspension from his record. Unless I have missed something here.
