Zidane: Je ne regrette rien

So Zidane apologized to the children of France (unnecessarily in my view) and indicated that Materazzi did in fact insult his sister and mother, which of course Materazzi denies.

However, full points to Zidane’s mother for weighing in (or so says the Daily Mirror) with this gem:

“I have nothing but contempt for Materazzi and, if what he said is true, then I want his balls on a platter.

“Our whole family is deeply saddened that Zinedine’s career should end with a red card but at least he has his honour. Some things are bigger than football.”

Well, that would make me slightly nervous, were I Marco Materazzi. Perhaps Mdme. Zidane could get in touch with Wayne Rooney, I hear he’s good at targetting people’s swingers.
