Unbelievable.
They've left the one with Vinnie Jones squashing Gazzas nuts!

Why didn't they go the whole hog and have Schumacher taking out Battiston?
Would have been far more iconic.

Is it known what materazzi said to zidane?

[ChillDoubt]

Wasn't it something about Zidane's sister?
Not sure how the Frenchman understood the Italian though as I'm sure neither undertsands the others language......

Maybe there was bad blood for zz's time at juventus. Great player.

Wouldn't happen in rugby eh chill. :)

Indeed not, doctordb.
Headbutt to the chest is sooooooooo last decade!
Nothing like a good toe-to-toe slugfest with the forwards warming up each others ears.
