Blatter Wants Materazzi to Kiss Zidane, but not Zizou’s Sister
By: Bob | September 11th, 2006
Instead of letting the head butt that just keeps giving die, FIFA honcho and resident jackass Sepp Blatter today proclaimed that the world’s football governing body is determined to bring together Marco Materazzi and Zinedine Zidane for what you know would be a carefully orchestrated kiss and make up session.
Blatter, whose head is full of hamsters spinning wheels, even has the perfect location picked out for a Materazzi and Zidane lovefest.
“We are working on bringing together Materazzi and Zidane,” Blatter said. “There are different possibilities and one of them is Robben Island in South Africa where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years.”
What a brilliant idea. After all, a silly incident that occurred during a football match is in roughly the same league as, say, apartheid, and this will give FIFA the perfect opportunity to promote the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
If that doesn’t work, Blatter could go the biblical route. He could have Materazzi and Zidane climb Mount Sinai together where they could read the Ten Commandments and preach peace and harmony.
Or better yet, he could just put a final end to this whole thing by letting it die a slow death.

Blatter should concentrate on less important things, like bringing peace to the Middle East.

I know Materazzi would have no problem accepting Zidane’s apology. However I would recommend he tell ZZ to kiss his World Cup Winning Butt.

Materazzi should apologize first.

Blatter wants the two to kiss and make up at the Robben Island prison. Tell me how a headbutt in a sporting match final is equivalent to racial apartheid in South Africa. Can’t they meet at Euro Disney instead and pose with Mickey Mouse? FIFA is becoming almost as irrelevant as the UN…

Fifa is not just becoming irrelevant it’s a sad joke.
This whole issue has been blown way out of proportion. For it to go away is simple and would require just two things be done
1. ZZ to apolgise to Materazzi on international TV.
2. ZZ to return the Golden Ball.That’s it, the whole headbutt issue would no longer exist, ZZ salvages a bit of dignity and honour is restored to the Golden Ball.

This just makes me want to barf. Yeah, let’s force them to go all kissy-kissy, purely for publicity, and pretend it’s a world-altering event. Materazzi would probably love the PR, but I can’t imagine Zidane ever going for this.

Zidane’s moved on. He’s been busy - he was at the PSG-Marseille match on Sunday and interviewed by Canal Plus - he praised Frank Ribery’s performance, said he loved watching the France-Italy match, also said that for awhile in the summer he’d had nightmares about the final in Germany and thought France could’ve won, but that things happened the way they did and “we must accept it.” He spent the summer on the beach with his family, released a joint statement with Ronaldo (they’re UN goodwill ambassadors) calling for the world to assist South Africa in improving its public transport system for the 2010 wc, attended the Danone Nations Cup games on September 3rd in Lyon (it’s the world’s largest children’s football tournament - he’s the event’s celebrity sponsor) and told Real Madrid that he would not accept the remaining 6 million euros left in his contract, saying the money should instead go to the club’s humanitarian and football training work with kids (a program he works with). I seriously doubt he’s interested in a stunt like this. Zidane is discreet and doesn’t like talking to the press about anything except his game. He hates talking to the press about anything personal or political and avoids it at all costs. I imagine with time the two will meet somewhere and reach an understanding - and that we’ll probably never know about it. Blatter should just let this drop. Time heals.

Lazaro, thank you for the info regarding the 6 MILLION Euros — I didn’t know. Now that is truly classy. How many would do that? No matter what happened with the headbutt that keeps on giving, I don’t think ZZ should return the Golden Ball — he was awarded it before the final by wide agreement.
Mr. Blatter clearly is working on some agenda that I can’t even figure out. How on earth is working this thing deep into the ground helping anything in footie? I completely don’t get it. And to compare Robben Island with anything in this situation is obscene in the extreme. Blatter should spend 27 seconds thinking about what an ass he’s being. 27 seconds = one second for each year Mandela spent in Robben. Semms kinda disgusting to compare, doesn’t it Blatter?

“Lazaro, thank you for the info regarding the 6 MILLION Euros — I didn’t know. Now that is truly classy. How many would do that?”
Regarding the above, RM club president said “Zidane’s behaviour has been exemplary, worthy of a star of his stature.” Read about it here:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060830/sp_soccer_afp/fblespfrazidanereal_060830121416You can see images of Zizou at the Danone Nations Cup tournament on 9/3 in Lyon here: http://www.danonecup.com/content/index.php?lg=1
“I don’t think ZZ should return the Golden Ball — he was awarded it before the final by wide agreement.”
FIFA has screwed up the Golden Ball aware in the last 3 world cups, so I really don’t take it seriously anymore. The reason for that is that the award is decided before the final. In the 1998 world cup, they gave it to Ronaldo - in the final he not only crapped out for his team, he crapped out DISASTROUSLY. He was a zombie on the pitch. In 2002, they gave it to Oliver Kahn - before he seriously crapped out in the final while Ronaldo performed beautifully. So Germany 2006 just continues the pattern.

I think if they were ever to get together Materazzi should sucker punch Zidane the way he got suckered by a gutless headbutt.
I’m old school…eye for an eye…..revenge is a meal best served cold ect….
“ZZ to return the Golden Ball.” as suggested by kasets. That would be the classy thing to do yet it hasn’t been done yet. Don’t hold your breathe for ZZ to do the classy thing.

Yeah, right - whereas materazzi is SUCH a class act, such a WONDERFUL advertisement for Italy. I love all these MAJOR HYPOCRITES who talk about “honor” and “class” while defending a lowlife thug and liar like materazzi - it’s as if he’s a great representative of the Italian nation, which is pretty insulting to Italy. I certainly don’t think he’s representative of Italy, I guess you guys do. What a load of hypocrites - “honor” and “class” mean absolutely NOTHING to you guys - you just use concepts like that when it’s convenient for you. Words like that are totally foreign to you. And as a man, Zizou has a zillion times more class than a lowlife like Matti will ever have. Don’t take my word for it - just listen to all the Italian players and Marcello Lippi and other Italians who worked with him for years at Juventus and all considered him a wonderful man full of class, generosity, graciousness and warmth. The Italians who worked with Zizou had and continue to have enormous respect for him and there are many, many quotes in the European press of guys like Lippi and del Piero saying as much. But hey, they just know him personally, what do they know? You idiots see one match and are all suddenly experts on the greatest European footballer in the last 50 years. I notice all the morons condemning zizou are from non-footballing nations who know ZERO about the sport or zidane as a man or as a player.
