So it has been decided that Zinedine Zidane will be suspended for 3 games and fined £3,260 for his head-butt during the World Cup final. However since he has retired from soccer, he has to spend 3 days working with FIFA doing community service with children. And Materazzi was suspended for two games and fined £2,170 for provoking Zidane. As far as Zidane losing his Golden Ball award for best player goes, it wasn't even discussed at the hearing. Which is good. He deserves to keep the award. If he's the best, he's the best. And Materazzi stuck up for him saying that he deserved it. I'm satisfied with this resolution to the whole situation.
