The Italians started so go on with what you start. Sense their saying that why can't they excuse Zidane for his reaction to Materazzi? But he's not afraid of what? we'll see in the game????

I am amazed at how low key the Italians are being about this match. The French side has made a couple of really stupid statements. It is hard not to react to the French statements, but the Italians are doing it. That tells me that they really focused on this game and will take care of business.

Yes Domenech is totally trash talker. But still I care about the squad of France. Look on Materazzi if Domenech is trash talker than what would be the best word for Cheaterazzi?

I am sure a lot of comments fly around the pitch during a heated game. What you don't do is what Zidane did--lose your cool and blatantly strike another player. That really hurt his team. Further, I am still irked by that penalty kick given to France in the same game. I watched that a few times on video, and it looks like a dive to me.
The Italians plan to do their talking by their performance on the pitch tomorrow. If France beats them, France certainly deserves to win the group. This game is not fatal to either team, but the loser probably can't slip up again or risk not qualifying.

All I want to know is which side are you with or you just support fair play? To me Materazzi is a cheater and shouldn't be called a player, a player is the one that respect the play and its fairness.

I am on Italy's side. Besides, my mother's family comes from Sicily.
Are you saying Materazzi is a cheater because he said those comments to Zidane or for some other reason?

Milan 99, Yes, I agree. Domenech is such a controversial man, instead of bringing a peaceful match, he turns it into a controversial and over heated match disrupting the original intention of a match: A fun game where the best on the pitch wins.
As to Materazzi, well, as a Milan fan I dont like him. Yet, when he plays for the NAZIONALE I do like him.

Hello Kenntak, indeed, the Italians want to talk on the pitch. Hopefully, they will talk clear and loud by scoring many goals.
