Materazzi: Gives his side of story
Marco Materazzi has admitted insulting Zinedine Zidane in the World Cup final but denies referring to terrorism or the France captain's mother.
Italy defender Materazzi was the victim of a vicious Zidane headbutt that led to the French talisman being sent off during extra-time in Sunday night's showpiece in Berlin.
There have been several theories as to what Materazzi actually said to bring about Zidane's amazing reaction.
But the former Everton man told Gazzetta Dello Sport he definitely did not call the French skipper a terrorist, and claims he did not insult the midfielder's mother either.
Materazzi said: "I held Zidane's shirt for a few seconds. He turned to me, looked at me from top to bottom with utmost arrogance and said: 'If you really want my shirt, I'll give it to you afterwards'. I answered him with an insult.
"It was the type of insult that we've heard before so many times on the pitch, and sometimes we don't even notice it.
"What's sure is that I never called him a terrorist: I am not cultured and I don't even know what an Islamic terrorist is. My sole terrorist is her...," added the 32-year-old, pointing at his sleeping 10-month-old daughter.
"I certainly did not talk about Zidane's mother. For me, mothers are sacred," he added.
At least we hear it from one guys mouth, would love to hear it coming from Zidane's and not his agent's.

Juventus have named Didier Deschamps as their new coach.
Deschamps replaces Fabio Capello at Stadio Delle Alpi after he stepped down to take over at Real Madrid last week.
The World Cup winner is highly-regarded at Juve after a successful playing career in Turin.
The former Monaco boss has signed a two-year deal with the Bianconeri.
Deschamps revealed last month that he was willing to join Juventus even if they are relegated as punishment for their part in an investigation into match-fixing.
Deschamps has been out of work since September 2005 after leaving Monaco and he will be given the task of leading Juve back to Serie A if, as expected, they are demoted.
