Zidane gets a 3 game ban for his charging headbutt and Materazzi gets a 2 game ban for the derogatory comments which provoked him. You couldn't make it up.

FIFA apparantly took into account his offer to do some community service and I'm not suggesting that it's likely, but players have been known to change their mind about International retirement.

OK what if you said "i retire from driving" do you think the judge will go "oh ok then no need to ban you"? |

lol I guess so.
it's a bit different though. I don't see the point in banning him when he's said he has retired. I guess he could come out of retirement again but it's very unlikely, especially at his age.
A fine would have been more appropriate I think.

Banning Materazzi for bad language is a diabolically stupid decision imo. Rooney would be banned for several games every time he plays if that is now the rule  |

So any player who gets sent off for violent conduct just has to say that the guy insulted his sister now ? Baron sometimes I think you disagree with me whatever I say. Surely even you can see that this ruling is ridiculous. |

I agree with you in that I don't think allowing someone to get away with violence should be allowed by simply using an excuse BUT about 8 different lip reader's caught the mother/terrorist/whore quote in some form or other. I think in this case the punishment was spot on. Generally I agree with what you are saying but in this case I feel there was decent evidence. Violence shouldn't be allowed, but I am also 100% against racism. I don't intentionally agree or disagree with anyone on here. Except maybe Man Yoo fans!  |

They all said he said different things True but the vast majority caught some sort of racist slur in what was said. Also I very much doubt FIFA will act on this on Zidane's word alone. I'm sure they had their own (unbiased) lipreader have a look at it. If they didn't then Karabiner's point is spot on. |

2 game ban? Thats laughable. He should be charged with racial agrevation and jailed. |
