Further Update: Zizou
We can delete the "(alleged)" from anything around Materrazi's name. He didn't say anything racially or religiously motivated; but rather, Zizou stated that:
"(Materazzi) pronounced very tough words about my mother and my sister. I tried not to listen to him but he kept repeating them."
A sigh of relief is heard the world over because Materazzi was merely being a Zidanist rather than a racist or a...religion-ist. Someone fire those stupid lip-readers, already.
And from me to Materazzi, because I know he's been braced and waiting for this: I apologise for thinking you lied re the racial/religious slur.
*phew*
Now we can rest easy that a fut-wah will not be called against the Italian national soccer team (because they really are the most beautiful to look atI am convinced that Cristiano is secretly Italian), and so we may commence making fun of our beloved and tempermental Zizou. Making fun of, in much beloved fashion, activity no 1: Watch this, sent to me from JaneH (thanks JaneyH & welcome!).
Making fun of, in much beloved fashion, activity no 2: Zizou?! Akeed you've heard such nonsense on the field before! WHY NOW? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? Was it too much pressure? Were your shoes too tight? WHY?! France must be banging it's head against...everything. I believe it was Pele who said that "in futbol, as with all sports, you must be willing to take both the "yo mama" and the "yo sistah"; the only item being off limits is the "yo daughta". Ole! Ole! Ole, Ole, Ole!"
And, seriously: dubilu tee a'tch, Zizou?

I'm not sure whether Zizu actually denied reports of racist/anti-religious comments. His explanation was that harsh words were said about his mother and sister, and thats all the detail he went into from what I have read. Correct me if I am wrong, by the way.
So, I'm not sure if Materazzi can be let off the hook so easily on the racism and religious fronts.
I think Z made a strong argument. He had no reason to do what he did, except for the reasons Materazzi presented him with. Before the conference, I was hoping Zidane would come out and stay proud, like he always has been. And he did. No regrets, straight up. Like you said, still my (headbutting) hero.
Au revoir Zinedine.
Salut, Uzi!
In the Reuters report, it stated that Zizou: "...denied Materazzi called him an Islamic "terrorist"" and so folks can take that to mean what they will. He may have called him a "Muslim pig" instead, or an "Algerian asshole" or a "Shitty Muslim" or any combination of anything, except for the word "terrorist", so really, who knows? And apparently, the lip readers are useless...
I didn't get a chance to see the press conference, but I have no doubt that he did a brilliant (headbutting) job. I do wonder what Italy is reporting in their papers; I can't imagine it was much fun to be holding their breath re the potential of such a heavy slur from MAterazzi. There really must be a sigh of relief at this point, I would think?
My hero still, too!
hugs,
maha

And your "quote" from pele is priceless. I don't know where you get your sense of humor but thank god for it.
