I would focus even more on the game at hand and try to make my mother proud of her son. How do you think she feels now? I had read that report about his mother, but still do you think Materazzi really intended to insult his mother or just get into his head? It was probably the latter although I don't think there is any lost love between him and Zidane.
Anyhow, what is done is done and Italy is the winner. Guess we'll have to wait another 4 years to see if France can get it done without Zidane and if the Italians can defend their title better than the French did in 1998 (at least the Brasilians went to the quarter finals this time around).
