Revenge in the air said some Soccer analysts.
Both players got fine and few games out since their clash during the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ final in Berlin on 9 July. Zinedine Zidane has also agreed to do community service work with children and youngsters. No public comments have been made by Materazzi until today.
Suspensions and fines were the sanctions pronounced by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee at its meeting on last Thursday, 20 July 2006 as part of the disciplinary proceedings opened against Zinedine Zidane (France) and Marco Materazzi (Italy).
Italy coach Roberto Donadoni played low profile today stating that the game vs French will not be decisive but France is already well positionned in this new UEFA Euro 2008 gmes as the French Team coasted to a morale-boosting 3-0 won in Georgia in their first match of the group, Italy were held to an embarrassing draw by Lithuanian Team in Naples, Italy.
Some other nice starts where England, bet Andorra 5-0 at Old Trafford, Germany, who overcame a spirited Ireland 1-0 in Stuttgart, the Netherlands who wona 1-0 over Luxembourg, and Spain, who bet Liechtenstein 4-0.
Everyone is looking carefully at Italians and their way to play... In a previous article, we highlighted some of 'Well Hidden Prepared Tactics" used by the Italian Team, a YouTube™ video starring Materazzi in action kicking players the very nasty way shows how the guy is.
Zinedine Zidane has been awarded adidas Golden Ball 2006 and coolest player by New York Times. Zidane, who retired after the 9th July final will not participate at the UEFA Euro 2008.
