France's legendary footballer Zenidine Zidane spoke out about his expulsion from the World Cup Soccer Finals match for head butting Italy's Marco Materazzi late in the second overtime. As expected, he did not mention exactly what was said, but noted that it was comments about his sister and mother that set him off, something that Materazzi vehemently denied saying. Then again, MM also said he didn't know what an Islamic terrorist is, so it's kind of hard to believe him and his track record of thuggery over a fantastic player like Zidane.
