No, but some players do taunt. They also get their face smashed every
now and then and nobody, including their team mate, have much pitty for
them.

It's, moronic. Juvenile at best. And it will get your face smashed
every now and then and nobody, including your team mates, will have
much pitty for you.

Stop replying to him then ? I'm actually suprise that in a Head-but VS
Taunting match you would take the taunting side. But then again, you're
the same guy that flexes his muscles on usenet but can't be bothered to
enlist.

He's 32 years old or something like that, and has already said he

I've ever seen (and I have seen...well... very few, actually).

He only disgraced himself.

I'm no soccer fan, so perhaps it's because I'm not used to that kind
of stuff, but seeing someone headbutt (or punch, kick, shoot, maim,
clobber, you name it) someone else during a feckin' game makes me feel
bad for mankind. The fact that ZZ went for the chest rather than the
head, however, somewhat restores a glimpse of hope.

Turns out that he wasn't. I'd really like to hear your take on this
now.

Yeah, "Materazzi hurts people", says the italian press. Two wrongs
don't make a right, though.

ADP.

Either way, you would still be a fuckwit for doing it..

about it than you can ever imagine to learn.
The taunting that goes on, only effects those who are stupid or
mentally weak.
The taunters themselves are a sack of shit, whom most players and even
their own look down on. It's a dirty defender's "tool" and strikers
are taught from the age of 4 to ignore it.
The only reason the taunting goes on is because the team will not
generally let their own player be bashed up. So any altercation will
be a short slap or kick and the next thing you know, you have 6-7
players from each side converging and pulling their own players away.
Nobody wants their own players sent off.
And that is what makes it cowardly. If you have the guts to call
someone something to his face, then you have guts. If you do it only
when you have your mob with you, then you're as tough as any twat
walking the streets with his gang.

This still isn't entirely clear. When asked by the journalist who was
interviewing him if the English tabloids had got it right, via the
lipreaders etc. he replied: "ben, oui" (well, yes). If you insult a
French-Arab and specifically mention terrorism, it seems to me you're
voluntarily straying pretty close to racism. Or anti-semitism (in the
original sense of the word).

Whatever.

My take is this : Zidane screwed up. He let the heat of the moment get
to him, and his notoriously short fuse ignited. He should've sorted it
out off the pitch.

Nonetheless, I shed no tears for Materazzi. Players like him, who use
those kinds of tactics and worse, deserve everything they get. In fact
they deserve more than they get. They deserve to go the way of the
dinosaurs.
