What set Zizou off?

 

BERLIN — Was it something he said?

With France and Italy tied in extra time of Sunday’s World Cup final, Zinedine Zidane head-butted Marco Materazzi in the chest and was ejected. France went on to lose on penalty kicks.

The day after, still no one knew what the Italian defender might have said to the French star.

“The Italians did everything they could do to provoke Zidane,” France defender William Gallas said.
