DGE, No-one dares say that Zizou was in the same league as Pele. Pele is simply unparallel, thu ppl make the common mistakes of equalizing Pele and Maradona. But then these are the ppl who don't know anything whatsoever abt football.

I compared Zizou with Maradona.

Materazzi (Is it spelt this way?) abused Zizou saying that Zizou was a terrorist, his mother and sister were whores. Now IMO the coolest of ppl won't be able to stay cool when their mothers are abused this way.

And at a time when the world is plagued with terrorism, it's hardly possible to stand when ppl call u terrorist, without any evidence whatsoever. Those who have suffered such thing know well how demoralizing that could be.


I m sure it was a mistake of Zizou to have headbutted that moron. But Materazzi should have been punished too, for he was also responsible. Feel glad that FIFA has already announced to investigate..

No hard feelings. Zizou is still one of the greatest players after Pele's era.

Agree whole-heartedly that Zizou is a great player. I aint debating that fact at all.
The point that I'm trying to make here is : he should have definitely controlled and channelized his anger/frustration in a positive way. Didnt he know that he was carrying an entire nation's dream of winning the World Cup? Didnt he know that the opponents will try different ways to disrupt his game and mental balance?
And,that Materazzi {sounds like Paparazzi } incident is not a one-off occurance. Zizou has had a history of very similar happenings all through-out his career.
He should have restrained himself.

I guess we all arent saying really different things:

1. All of us agree, zizou is a damn good player.
2. tht italian kiddo sudnt have had abused him.
3. But he did !
4. He deserves the punishment.
5. But not what happened at the field, esp whn whole nation is looking upto their "star" to make thm forget the horror of 2002 world cup ! He shouldnt have lost his cool !
6. Skill can make one good or excellent.. howevere, its temperament thats needed along with it to move on to "greatness" domain! Zizou seems to have just missed tht... not by a big margin though..

Anyone disagree here ??

By the way , looking around, things do not seems rosy with whts happening in Mumbai - the place I stay in..

Rains , Riots and now Bomblasts... in a fortnight.. and I was around each of these events .. still managed to survive!

Would like to thank Darwin on this occasion.. hope his theory of "fittest shall survive" holds true for my application season too.
