Zenith, good find on the looping headbutt.
My gut reaction is Materazzi said something racist (Zidane's family is from Algeria). That or something like you're past it old man, I own you. Either way, Zizou obviously lost the plot and got too wound up. He does have a hsitory of letting his Mean Streak get the best of him (red card in group play in '98).
Edit: I originally typed Armenia. Algeria is the North African country across the Mediterranean Sea from France. I had a brain cramp.
