Am I the only one who thinks that Marco Materazzi is being vilified beyond what he should be. Zidane should know that all this, granted taken to extreme by MM, bu to react the way he did was absolutely idiotic.
My first thought after he did it was that he might get away with it, and good for him, because if he's retiring from football, then they can't give him a football ban! I wasn't disgusted as all the pundits seem to be, it's a sport, and even at the lowest level people get tense and react badly.
Really, if Amir Khan thinks he's a bigger man than Zidane, we'll see it by what he achieves. And personally, however he takes all the winding up, boxing is a very different game, and if someone insults you in the ring, you hit them!
