Maybe the guy, I'll call him Mr. T, would never have had to shoot his PK if Zidane had kept a cool head. I would have taken Henry over Mr. T any day to take that shot even if he was very tired, it doesn't take much to walk up and kick the ball in, especially with how horrible both goalies were. They weren't close to blocking ONE of the PKs.

He maybe better than the most during regulation and overtime, but Henry is well-known for being too nervous to even look at penalty kicks so he does not participate in it.

And then the 4th paragraph infers it was a yo' mamma joke. To loose it over one of those - LAME. If it's true, then he wanted out of the game for whatever reason, or he's a bit "special."

I heard there is a rumor about french football federation hiring language specialists from the national counter-terrorists squads to decipher what Materazzi said by reading his lips from the match video.
