Hey ZZ, Have You Heard My New Yo Momma Joke?

We still don't know what Materazzi said to Zidane. Though it apparently included the phrase: "Yo Momma". This comes from a feature called the Fiver on today's Guardian: "Some have suggested that the Italian insulted Zidane's mother. The Fiver wonders if Materrazi actually claimed to be Zizou's mother, which would explain why the midfielder sought satisfaction in his bosom."
And this from French Football magazine L'Equipe editor Claude Droussent in an open letter to Zidane: "I imagine that before you committed this irreparable, almost unforgivable act, Materazzi must have said the most terrible things to you, but it was a stupid end to your fabulous career. What legacy have you left our children? You must be very unhappy." Well, duh. Let's not forget Zidane has recieved 14 red cards in his career so it's not like he isn't used to it. Just how many yo momma jokes can one man hear in his life?

Zidane was awarded the Golden Ball as the tournaments best player. The award comes with a foam covered hat and neck brace to avoid injuries while using your head. As a battering ram.

And this, again, copied and pasted here word for word from the Fiver: "Swear to me that you are staying, swear it to me. If you leave, I'm going to kill you!" - Gennaro Gattuso finds a novel variation on 'pretty please' when he asks Marcello Lippi to stay on as Italy coach.
